Battle Hymns is the second album by the Detroit, Michigan punk rock band The Suicide Machines, released in 1998 by Hollywood Records.

A music video was filmed for the single "Give" and the song was featured in the Disney Channel motion picture Brink!

Another thing that got in their way was the fact they were touring extensively and accepting big deals to play with large bands so they had a very tight schedule for writing a new album.

[2] "Independence Parade" was written by Derek Grant and is about his exit from the band and why he left, which was because he had lots of social anxiety and he didn't want to be famous, as he typically refused to be in photos or videos.

Perfect Sound Forever's Pete Crigler deems Battle Hymns to be "one of the hardest, fastest records ever released on a major label".
