A photograph of a guitarist on stage. He is wearing an ornate priest’s robe (gold and white) while playing a ‘flying V’ guitar. His hand is a blur, and he is scowling over his right shoulder. The stage behind him is obscured in a swirl of stage smoke. He is Ben Frank of the Australian metal band Battlesnake.

A photograph of a guitarist, playing a Flying V guitar. He is wearing priestly robes (in white and gold). He has curly black hair and a black moustache. He is sitting on another man's shoulders. He is surrounded by members of his audience, some of whom are making the sign of the horned beast. Behind them there are trees; it is a woodland setting. The guitarist is Ben Frank, from the Australian metal band Battlesnake. He is sitting on the shoulders of the band's bass guitarist, Elliott Hitchcock. They left the stage towards the end of the band's set at 2000 Trees festival, to join their fans in the mosh pit.

Lekker het was!

Battlesnake in Nimma.
Twin leads galore.
En vette act.

Great chasms of molten red
Endless descent into fiery dread
Satan sits there beside his gorgon
Playing his v8 exhaust pipe organ

Cover art for Battlesnake's "The Father of Iron Flesh". Reminiscent of King Crimson's classic cover, but with a metal edge. Chrome, red face, wild shit.

Yeah, I'm completely in love with #Battlesnake. And the fact that I came to this place without knowing they were in fact deeply inspired by #KingGizzard is pretty neat. Their sound is like Gizz got hitched to #JudasPriest and #TenaciousD did the ceremony.

Pic of the band Battlesnake. 7 guys in weird robes, one with ridiculous large golden horns.

Man, what the fuck is in the water in Australia? How many of my favorite bands can this country create? #KGLW are my favorite. Today my brother in law suggested #Battlesnake. He had no idea they were also Australian. I gave 'em a spin and I'm hooked. This is my shit. Not serious, just fucking fun.
