Combat Zone is less a heavy metal album and more an audio documentary about growing up in #Boston. These songs tell stories from the streets, the people, and the places that shaped us. We poured our lives into this record—raw truths, personal stories, and memories we won't forget

Over 40 years ago we plastered this ad all over Malden. No social media, no websites—just kids hanging flyers and hoping for the best. Now, 4 decades later, we're getting ready to release another album.

Big thanks to Sara Whitmore and The Black Light District for supporting independent artists and bands. Our B.F. Raid shirts have arrived and will be featured in upcoming shoots. Looking forward to seeing the photos and helping spread the word for underground music and metal!

Another teaser from our upcoming album Combat Zone. This is a rough mix of "The Greatest Show In Town," inspired by #Boston's Combat Zone and Mass & Cass. We're currently thinking this will be the album opener and first single.

Combat Zone is our love letter to a different #Boston. A city of grit, dirt, dive bars, colorful characters, and nights that never seemed to end. These songs tell stories from a time when anything went and nobody wanted to go home. Coming soon. #BFRaid #CombatZone

We know we’ve said it before, but this time it’s real: Combat Zone is finally on the way.
Final mix should be in our hands in just over a week. We’re officially on the home stretch and can’t wait to share these songs with you.
Stay tuned. Combat Zone is almost here

Now that we’re on the heels of our second album, it felt like a good Throwback Thursday moment to say thank you to Len Ponn and Barry Silverman for their hard work and vision in creating this band —crazy how far things have come since then.

Huge thanks to @NewEnglandRockandMetal for spinning “Hollywood With Snakes” from Raided Again! Go support the show and discover some killer independent heavy music. And get ready… Combat Zone drops in a few weeks and it’s coming in hotter and heavier.

Getting Combat Zone done didn’t take as long as Chinese Democracy… and somehow we still beat EA to finishing GTA VI
All jokes aside—this one was a grind. Can’t wait for you to hear it. Stay tuned.

Recording for Combat Zone is done—now the focus shifts to CD, vinyl & streaming artwork. Tons of design and marketing work ahead, but it’s all part of bringing this album to life. Here’s a look inside the CD 👇

Here’s a little teaser from Combat Zone — our song Three Days Under. This is just a small taste of the rough mix. We’ll be sharing the full song, along with the rest of the album, once everything is mixed and mastered over the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

The end is in sight. We had no idea what an undertaking recording 10 songs for Combat Zone would be, but we’re close. Back in the studio 4/28 for final vocals, keys, percussion & guitar. If all goes well, the album heads to mastering after that. Thanks for your patience.

Just got the rough mixes back from our latest Combat Zone session and we’re fired up 🤘 One more session in a couple weeks for final touches, then it’s off to mix & mastering. Thanks for the patience—it’s about to pay off.
