melbourne indie artists battlesnake have delivered their third Opus 'Dawn Of The Exultants And The Hunt For The Shepherd'
upon humanity, which is a prequel to 'Rise and Demise of the Motorsteeple'. the eleven track album
was released on the 6th of june.
"The inception of the Exultants and their search for the second messiah ‘Sanctum Robotos’ (The Golden God) who becomes the pilot for the Exultant’s greatest machine ‘The Motorsteeple’ Expanding on the apocalyptic grandeur of its predecessor, the bands third album sees Battlesnake push their signature blend of virtuosic metal, theatrical bombast, and mythic storytelling to new heights.
True to their reputation for relentless creativity, the band once again captured the raw intensity of their live performance by recording much of the album together in a two-week window. The result is a record that feels alive, ferocious, untamed, and cinematic in scope. inception of the Exultants and their search for the second
