We hail from the open road
Earth-dolven and unopposed 
Our brawn exceeds the pearly gates
Methinks the golden god awaits

Thus spake the Battlesnake on their latest musical offering, The Fathers Of Iron Flesh. The first of many new tracks to arise from their underground cavern this year.

The rising titans of Australian hard rock and pure heavy metal, Battlesnake have quickly ascended from the underground, captivating audiences worldwide with their unique blend of powerful riffs and dynamic songwriting. Channeling the likes of Queen, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath into something familiar yet ground breaking at the same time. Renowned for their high-octane live performances, epic theatrical compositions, and relentless energy, they have firmly established themselves as one of the most exciting acts in contemporary metal.

Their sound has evolved into a mighty force, blending heavy riffs, soaring vocals, and intricate melodies, while keeping the raw, unrelenting energy that defines their live shows.


Their 2020 debut EP, Myths and Legends from Gorbag’s Domain was followed by their
self-titled full-length album in 2023 and 2024’s monstrous, The Rise and Demise of the Motorsteeple, which marked a significant milestone in their career, blending high-octane metal with intricate storytelling. The album’s success propelled Battlesnake into the global spotlight, securing their place as one of the most anticipated bands in the scene.
 

Motorsteeple’ saw Battlesnake’s momentum explode internationally, particularly across the UK and EU, where their unique sound resonated with fans and critics alike. Their explosive rise overseas was complemented by their collaboration with renowned acts like KISS (on their “End of the World Tour”), The Smashing Pumpkins, and Jane’s Addiction (on the “World Is a Vampire Tour”). The Australian outfit’s electrifying live performances were met with widespread acclaim, leading to sold-out shows and a rapidly growing fan base in these territories.

Now, as 2025 dawns, Battlesnake is poised to embark on their biggest year yet.
The Fathers Of Iron Flesh, is yet another instant Battlesnake anthem.

Instantly added to playlists including All New Metal and Local Noise on Spotify and Breaking Hard Rock & New Music Daily on Apple Music, The Fathers Of Iron Flesh is already having a huge impact!

As the band’s sound continues to evolve, this new release reflects their darker, more refined edge, showcasing the band’s mastery of both melody and aggression.

Battlesnake explain the premise as thus: “The dawn of The Auto Exultants, the creators of the Motorsteeple. The Fathers Of Iron Flesh recalls the founding of their great citadel and their treacherous journey to the foot of the mountain where the citadel lies. Combining cloud, shadow, earth and flesh the great castle and the netherforge was created. The inception of the Motorsteeple hath begun. In the dungeons and factories of their great fortress the petrol church is born.”  This is a little taster for what is to come. A prequel to the last album ‘The Rise and Demise of the Motorsteeple’.
 

2025 will also see Battlesnake return to the UK and EU for their most ambitious tour yet, bringing their hard-hitting sound to some of the biggest music festivals in the world, including
