Australian melodic tech-death metal band SNAKE MOUNTAIN will release their long awaited new single ‘Veins’ on January 27th.
The song was recorded by Snake Mountain at their own studio and mixed and mastered by Dan Field at Sledgehammer Studios in Brisbane who has worked with heavy acts such as Apate and Babirusa.
‘Veins’ is the first new music from the band since 2019’s ’The Hunted’ and a demonstration of the groups new heavier musical direction and lyrically inspired by one of the greatest characters in comic history and an exploration into the psychological damage of his origins.
‘Veins is about trauma and dealing with it in a very violent way. A man who obsessively lives in a cycle of trying to make a difference to prevent it happening to anyone else and has infinite resources to do so, but it’s a never ending war he essentially can’t win within himself and that’s something that’s always drawn me to the character and his story’, Says vocalist Nev Pearce. The video was masterfully filmed by Gold Coast filmmakers Kyle Watson and Rianna Griggs from FortyTwoFifteen Video Productions and premiered on the HEAVY Magazine website.
Snake Mountain wrapped up 2022 with two shows supporting Freedom of Fear, Xenobiotic and Remission in Brisbane at the Woolly Mammoth on November 24 and the legendary Frankie’s Pizza in Sydney on November 27 before the venue sadly closed it’s doors.
In support of Veins, the band will be playing the following dates with more to be confirmed for earlier in the year – Friday February 10th at Vinnies Dive (Gold Coast) with Burst (New Caledonia), Choof and Awful Noise & Saturday February 11th at Mansfield Tavern (Brisbane) with Minus Life (final show), Black Lava, Freedom of Fear and Ancient Remains.
