Sounds Like John Pegoraro of StonerRock.com sais: "Like Saviours, Early Man, and the like, Imperial Battlesnake is part of that modern retro-NWOBHM movement, although those influences aren't quite as obvious with the Battlesnake. There's a vague trace of Big Business to their rhythms and a bit of a "Lemmy partying on the Sunset Strip" to the vocals, giving this Chicago four-piece some distinction. That adds up to some sleazy, classic metal with strong punk leanings and a penchant for lyrical violence. Plus they have a song called "Monkey Knife," which automatically makes them pretty cool." . . . . .

   About IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKE
In the Hardlands of the Empire the weather beaten soil gobbles the toughest of seeds and births the most hardy of foliage. In kind, its rugged, booze sodden denizens have produced the raddest of Metal progeny: IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKE. After four years of riding forth on several national tours through the gutless hinterlands of inferior riffs the group brandishes its electrical axes and beats the drums of war in defense of its hessian countrymen. IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKE are the Sentinels of the Hardland and its 2nd full-length compendium of asskicking battle-hymns bares that very title. ---- With razor-sharp guitar riffs and cast-iron vocals IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKE ride roughshod astride a rhythm section fervently dedicated to punishing dynamics. Since early 2004 this band has been rattling the sabre handed to it from the metal warlords of a bygone era while blowing the dust off of battle lines drawn by fallen punk rock combatants. IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKEs first EP/Demo, 2005's Truth to Power, was met by Rock critics with much praise. Sleazegrinder.com called it "real, live, raw, pick-up-your-teeth-on-the-way-out rock n fucking roll, so if youre in the mood to punch somebody out or break just about any law at all, track this down and crank the bitch first." After the success of IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKE's first full length "ATTACK!" in 2006 Monica Kendrick of the Chicago Reader called them "the geniuses behind Pastor of Muppets". Now this band brings its most mature and aggressive offering to the table "Sentinels of the Hardland."
