The rising titans of Australian heavy metal, Battlesnake, are returning home in thunderous fashion this September and October for their long-awaited The Year Of The Snake Australian Album Tour, celebrating the release of their ferocious third album, Dawn Of The Exultants and The Hunt For The Shepherd. Fresh off a blistering three-month run across the UK and Europe, which saw them level legendary festivals like Download (UK), Copenhell (Denmark), Rock For People (CZ), Pinkpop (NL) and Mad Cool (Spain), as well as support Eagles of Death Metal (USA) Battlesnake are coming back to where it all began. This is more than a tour. It’s a homecoming celebration. A reckoning. A resurrection. The tour marks the Australian unveiling of their most ambitious work to date. Dawn Of The Exultants and The Hunt For The Shepherd sees the band reach new creative heights, melding face-melting riffs, operatic grandeur, and apocalyptic storytelling into a sonic experience unlike anything else in modern metal. Drawing from the mythic influences of Queen, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath while carving out a sound uniquely their own, Battlesnake have once again raised the stakes. Expect a full-force live show of epic proportions,a night of sweat, steel, and serpentine chaos, driven by the band’s legendary theatricality, monstrous musicianship, and an unrelenting wall of sound. From underground clubs to festival main stages, Battlesnake have built their reputation onpure, undiluted energy and they’re bringing it all home. With a rapidly growing legion of fans and critical acclaim from both sides of the hemisphere, Battlesnake’s 2025 Australian Album Tour is set to be their most explosive yet. Don your battlegear.
