Battlesnake doesn't just play music; they unleash a sonic leviathan. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, this seven-piece band welds together the raw power of classic heavy metal with the theatrical flair of 80s glam, resulting in a live show that's as much performance art as it is a concert. Think Iron Maiden battling Judas Priest in a neon-drenched arena. Their sound, best described as "glam metal revival," is a relentless assault of twin-guitar harmonies, soaring vocals dripping with vibrato, and a rhythm section that could level buildings. Influences range from the NWOBHM heroes to the Sunset Strip hedonism of Mötley Crüe, all filtered through a uniquely Australian lens. Since their formation, Battlesnake has steadily built a fervent following through relentless touring and electrifying stage presence. Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut EP, cementing their status as a band to watch in the global metal scene. More than just a nostalgia act, Battlesnake taps into the primal energy of metal, offering a cathartic and visually stunning experience. While official collaborations are still to come, their reputation as a must-see live act continues to grow. Currently, they are focused on expanding their fanbase and developing their next release, promising even more face-melting riffs and pyrotechnic performances.
