Madcap Australian seven-piece Battlesnake announce new album, single

The band comment: "'Alpha and Omega' represents the further uncoiling of Battlesnake lore; it captures the adventurous energy of this album in 5 and half minutes of thematic and sonic carnage. This song harks back to prog rock times gone by where the structure is unexpected, the solos are exploratory and the guitar harmonies are unashamed. The beginning and the end, All Hail Battlesnake!"

Battlesnake have already set tongues ablaze in the Australian scene - a seven-piece vortex emerging from the depths of the underworld. With a powerful sound that can best be described as the genetically-engineered cyborg super-child of Queen, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and Judas Priest, the band have quickly gained a reputation for their high-impact live performance and epic, theatrical songwriting.
Battlesnake released their debut EP in 2020, a powerful 6-track release entitled Myths and Legends from Gorbag's Domain. Their first full-length, self-titled, followed in 2023 - exploding them into the wider Australian consciousness. Recently the band have supported titans KISS on their End of The World Tour, The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction on the The World Is a Vampire tour.
Now, Battlesnake are marching forward, and laying the foundations for their biggest year yet. Mortals tremble, all hail Battlesnake!
