Battlesnake are killer, what a band’  – Kam Haq – Live Nation / Download Fest UK

Battlesnake quoth once again; 
“The Exultants demonic hound pigs, their faithful servants built to hunt Jesus Christ. The ‘Machina Mortifero’ in English ‘Murder Machine’, they feed only on bile and human waste. The scent of the Son of Man drives them into insanity and the hunt begins….”

An epic twin harmony guitar attack opens the track before it delves straight into a furious, chugg of a riff that summons something sinister from the deep. The harmonies and old school power continue throughout, dive-bombing into a Motörhead fuelled race to the finish line, spent but ready for more!

Murder Machine is the latest offering from their forthcoming album, 
Dawn Of The Exultants And The Hunt For The Shepherd, due for release on June 6.

The album’s first two singles, The Fathers Of Iron Flesh and Shepherd Hunter were instantly added to playlists around the world including All New Metal and Local Noise on Spotify and Breaking Hard Rock & New Music Daily on Apple Music making a huge impact! Expect the same from Murder Machine!

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.
