Australian melodic tech-death band Snake Mountain have dropped a surprise new single for Halloween!
Inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 adaption of Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, The Revenant follows Vlad Dracula’s descent and horrific transformation into the monster after the loss of his beloved wife, Elisabeta, which fuels his rage and hunger for blood.
‘That movie had such a massive impact on me when I was young, there was nothing like it visually, from the dark gothic sets to the costumes and the incredible cast it was one of the things that inspired me on my path to heavy music’ – Nev Pearce.
Blending elements of tech-death, symphonic, and extreme metal, this song has become a cornerstone of the band’s live performances and offers a glimpse into their heavier musical direction. The Revenant was recorded in the band’s own studio and mixed and mastered by guitarist Jaymes Jackson.
