The band comment: “Thy bringer of bog rises from filth to carry out Jehovah’s bidding.
Armageddon is nigh.
Bog Bringer is horseman number four.
The dreadful Mud Apocalypse hath begun.”
Yet another whip-fast, rollicking hard rock blitzkrieg, ‘Mud Apocalypse’ continues to cement Battlesnake as one of heavy music’s most infectiously fun, dizzyingly raucous acts.

Rising titans of Australian hard rock and pure heavy metal, Battlesnake have ascended from the underground to global domination with ferocity, flair, and unrelenting ambition. Channeling the grandiosity of Queen, the steel of Judas Priest, and the doom-laden power of Black Sabbath, Battlesnake forge a sound that feels both gloriously familiar and strikingly original. Defined by towering riffs, soaring vocals, and dynamic, theatrical songwriting, the band has cemented their reputation as one of the most electrifying acts in contemporary metal.
Formed in 2019, Battlesnake wasted no time making their presence known. Their debut EP Myths and Legends from Gorbag’s Domain (2020) introduced a band unafraid of spectacle, storytelling, and sheer volume. This momentum carried into their self-titled debut album in 2023, which expanded their sonic arsenal and marked their transition from cult favourites to serious contenders.
Their international breakthrough came in 2024 with The Rise and Demise of the Motorsteeple, a high-octane concept album that blended thunderous metal with intricate narrative ambition. The record struck a powerful chord across the UK and Europe, earning critical acclaim and propelling Battlesnake onto global radars as one of the most exciting and unpredictable bands in the genre.
That rise was amplified by high-profile tours alongside legendary acts including KISS on their End of the World Tour, as well as The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction on the World Is a Vampire Tour. Night after night, Battlesnake‘s explosive live shows converted new fans, selling out venues and solidifying their reputation as a must-see live force.
In 2025, Battlesnake delivered their third studio album, Dawn Of The Exultants And The Hunt For The Shepherd, unveiling a darker, more refined edge to their sound. The release coincided with their biggest touring year to date, including appearances at major international festivals such as Download (UK), Copenhell (Denmark), Rock for People (Czech Republic), Mad Cool (Spain), and more, further proving their dominance on the world stage.
Now in 2026, Battlesnake stand at the peak of their powers as they prepare to unleash their fourth studio album. Backed by multiple international tours and an ever-expanding global fanbase, the band continue to push their sound to new extremes, bigger, bolder, and more uncompromising than ever before. With their trademark blend of epic theatricality, crushing heaviness, and relentless energy, Battlesnake show no signs of slowing down.
With critical acclaim, worldwide momentum, and an unshakable commitment to their craft, Battlesnake are establishing themselves as a formidable force in modern metal.
All hail Battlesnake!
