"THERE'S SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT THREE-PART HARMONIES"

BATTLESNAKE ARE PUTTING THREE CLASSIC GUITAR RIGS INTO ONE CRAZY HEAVY METAL MELTING POT

- Phil Weller

Described by guitarist Ben Frank as "the genetically engineered cyborg super child of Queen, King Gizzard and Judas Priest," Australia's Battlesnake are a colourful bunch. On the band's second LP The Rise And Demise of The Motorsteeple, Ben and fellow guitarists Paul Mason and Daniel Willington are chasing vomit-like fuzz sounds and cranking Marshall amps.

The new album was recorded in just 10 days. How was that process?

Ben: We actually wrote a fair chunk of it in the studio. We work best as a band when we set a super unrealistic deadline and we have to make it happen. The lead-up to the recording was manic, but we're all really respectful of each other's creative process.
