Battlesnake is a heavy metal band from Australia releasing the bands self titled debut album in 2023, and sophomore album ‘The Rise And Demise Of The Motorsteeple’ in 2024… …featuring eight songs in a little over thirty minutes! With influences as diverse as Judas Priest, Green Lung, and Led Zeppelin, the Sydney seven-piece – Nick Zammit (drums), Sam Frank (vocals), Ben Frank (guitar), Paul Mason (guitar), Daniel Willington (guitar), Billy O’Key (keytar), and Elliot Hitchcock (bass) – offer variety in abundance! Opening with the one-minute crescendo-building instrumental ‘A Blessing Of Fire And Speed’, Battlesnake set an inviting atmosphere that immediately pulls you under the band’s spell, ‘Motorsteeple’ (presumably the title song) thundering into view with all the raw energy and oomph of traditional metal blended with a layer of Southern and stoner rock and metal!

How To Control A Rudderless Motorsteeple With BATTLESNAKE. Skip to content How To Control A Rudderless Motorsteeple With BATTLESNAKE Written by Kris Peters Share This: “It proves that we need to keep getting weirder.”Elliott Last year’s The World Is A Vampire festival might have been promoted as an internationally led concert event headlined by The Smashing Pumpkins, but for me, it will forever be remembered as the first time I saw or heard a Sydney band called Battlesnake. But by the time I got halfway there and heard the rumblings of deep, throbbing metal notes coupled with possibly a naughty word or two for effect, I suddenly had something else to focus on rather than my own petulance. With a raw-sounding mix of huge Black Sabbath drenched riffs and the toughness and fortitude of Judas Priest in their prime, Battlesnake were systematically winning the crowd over one set of ears at a time. Battlesnake style. “There’s so much going on,” Elliott picked up. “Same,” echoed Dan and Sam.
There’s a few surprises that you will hear,” Dan teased. Our Picks. TWO TAKES: Battlesnake - The Rise and Demise Of The Motorsteeple (Lemontree Music) - Sentinel Daily. Well, it’s not an overstatement of fact to say that The Rise and Demise Of The Motorsteeple, the new album from Australian up-and-comers Battlesnake, has split the Sentinel Daily office right down the middle like no other album in recent memory; So much so that we’ve decided – in the interests fairness and transparency, natch rather than in a tawdry attempt to fan the flames of division – to print a review of the record from each of the warring tribes… Have a read of the opinions of Gavin Strickmann and Alfie Ingesson, cogitate on their contents, and then make your decision – Battlesnake – evil or divine? It’s hard to warm to Australian outfit Battlesnake. A group of highly talented musicians, the music they make on new album The Rise and Demise of the Motorsteeple is an essentially charmless hotchpotch of musically wordy pastiche and, worst of all, ironic smirking at the ridiculousness they, and we, find ourselves listening to.
But then I guess that’s kinda the point of post-modernism. BATTLESNAKE To Drop New Album On June 21.
