On pink paper with super hot metallic gold ink finger puppets printed up by hand by a crazy gocco master.
Gretchen Slayer
Hand spray painted and screenprinted, these come in a totally random rhinocerous of colors and no 2 are alike.
Vance Wellenstein
Black ink on white or super pink paper and is encoded with many top-secret messages.
KHS Design
This cover is screenprinted black ink on off-white papel and is semi-autobiographically based on a trip to the D.C. zoo to see the baby panda - but way more tough.
McTubbins/825TUBS/Aaron Anderson
Spaceship/Tron style design on blue paper with black/blue/pink/red/yellow inks all hand gocco'd.
A secret sixth cover also exists, hand drawn by the BBB organization itself...

Click To Order Battlefields “Thresholds of Imbalance” Available now from Translation Loss Records (http://translationloss.com/store/) or records stores everywhere…
“all of the explosiveness and abrasiveness that made their first two releases so appealing, but it also takes a major step in a more depressing, less accessible direction. It might take a few listens, but it won't be long before sludge and doom metal fans will be all over this. "-Lambgoat.com “it’s in fact a brilliant album that sees Battlefields fully unfurl their sound to its potential and should see them mentioned in the genre’s elite.” “This could easily be 2009s second best post rock album behind Wavering Radiant, and that’s no small feat. ”-TeethoftheDevine.com “Thresholds Of Imbalance” proves that you don't have to play music at a frantic pace to create something epic. Battlefields is a one and a million band that has surpassed Isis, to become the next great underground band. ” –Hardcoresounds.com “this is one of the premiere metal bands from this region; if you are a metal fan and live within 20 miles of Fargo or Minneapolis, consider yourself ashamed to not know this band after Thresholds. And truthfully, any doom metal fan in the nation should definitely check out this album this year if you consider yourself a fan of the genre” –Mind Inversion
