Sydney-based rockers, Battlesnake, are gearing up for a monumental year in 2024, with their latest single, "Motorsteeple," primed to set the scene for an epic musical journey.
With influences reminiscent of the greats like Dio, Maiden, and Saxon, Battlesnake is ready to take their audience on a ride through the realms of heavy metal nostalgia.
Their latest track, “Motorsteeple,” features classic twin guitar harmonies, ethereal choruses akin to Ghost, and the bone-crushing riffage reminiscent of Black Sabbath. Described by the band as a “colossal church that hath no breaks, bound to the road eternally,” “Motorsteeple” promises to be a headbanger’s delight.
But Battlesnake isn’t stopping there. They’ve announced a massive eight-date tour across the UK and Europe for May, following select shows on their “Help Us Get To Europe Tour.” And nestled among these performances is a stop in Ballarat, promising the city a taste of pure heavy metal energy.
