Australian prog/psych metallers Battlesnake have given their new single “Bog Bringer” its online debut. That track is your third advance listen from the group’s newly announced forthcoming album “Bogpocalypse And The Annihilation Of Lucifer“. A February 19th release date stands for the latter. Of course, it wouldn’t be a new release from Battlesnake without a generous helping of lore. The band laid the following groundwork for this latest offering:
‘For two thousand long years, The Bog Bringer remained in exile within The Lake of Mud, waiting restless for his holy task. Only God himself had the power to raise him from the swamp, for he is Jehovah’s ghastly servant.
A foul unnatural procedure was used to resurrect The Bog Bringer. God and God alone, knows the secrets to this process. Once the blood moon eclipses on the twelfth hour, the summoning commenced and The Lord of Swamp rose from his mud dwelling.
Upon his revival, God revealed his task for The Bog Bringer: To lead the APOCALYPSE OF PLANET EARTH. Bog Bringer is Horseman number four. He was gifted The Pale Steed and sent to deliver judgment to the sinners of the world, to kill with sword, famine, death, and beast.’
