Stream: battlesnake.lnk.to/TheFathersOfIronFlesh
The band state:
“The dawn of The Auto Exultants, the creators of the Motorsteeple. This song recalls the founding of their great citadel and their treacherous journey to the foot of the mountain where the citadel lies. Combining cloud, shadow, earth and flesh the great castle and the netherforge was created. The inception of the Motorsteeple hath begun. In the dungeons and factories of their great fortress the petrol church is born.
“This is a little taster for what is to come. A prequel to the last album The Rise and Demise of the Motorsteeple.”
In 2024, Battlesnake‘s momentum exploded internationally across the UK and Europe where their unique sound resonated with fans and critics alike. Their album The Rise and Demise of the Motorsteeple (2024) marked a significant milestone in their career, blending high-octane metal with intricate storytelling. The album’s success propelled Battlesnake into the global spotlight, securing their place as one of the most anticipated bands in the scene.
Now, as 2025 dawns, Battlesnake are poised to embark on their biggest year yet. New single ‘Fathers of the Iron Flesh’, a track that promises to be an anthem for fans worldwide. As the band’s sound continues to evolve, this new single reflects their darker, more refined edge, showcasing the band’s mastery of both melody and aggression.
This year will also see Battlesnake embark on an ambitious UK and EU tour, bringing their hard-hitting sound to some of the biggest music festivals in the world, including Download Festival (UK), Copenhell (Denmark), Rock for People (Czech Republic), Mad Cool (Spain), and more. With each performance, Battlesnake will prove their reputation as one of the most dynamic live acts in modern rock.
