Australian melodic technical death metal act Snake Mountain has just released their new track "Extinction Through Fire" exclusively on YouTube, with the full release of their debut EP, Villainous 1: Reverence, landing on July 5 through all major streaming platforms. To top things off, they have also announced a string of shows along the east coast in June, July, and August in support of the EP.

It seems Snake Mountain is on a hot streak at the moment. In fact, it would be more accurately described as a friggin' tear! Having recently toured with the first single, "Everliving" (from their forthcoming EP), opening for Fleshgod Apocalypse (Italy) and Wolfheart (Finland) in Brisbane, as well as teaming up with industrial metal band Witchgrinder for their QLD dates, it is becoming quickly apparent that Snake Mountain means business and is out to take the Australian (and global) metal scene head-on.

Now, with the release of their debut EP in sight, the band has released the visualiser for the second single and opening track "Extinction Through Fire," the follow-up to their previous single and video for "Everliving."

"Extinction Through Fire" is one of Snake Mountain's oldest songs, from their early writing days. Layered with pure death savagery and blast beats but with underlying groove patterns, dropped-down brutal guitar tones, and the monstrous guttural vocals by frontman Nev Pearce, it’s about the alien invasion in the movie Independence Day and the destruction caused on a global scale. It also poses a few questions around the subject of UFO disclosure and if something like this were to happen, would we survive it as a species? Some freaky stuff, huh!

Snake Mountain is undoubtedly one Australian heavy act on the rise, quickly becoming known for their electrifying live shows and a band to keep an eye on. With whispers of guest appearances from members of Freedom of Fear, Aeon Nexus, Pistonfist, Our Last Enemy, and Deprivation, it won't be long now until the full EP is out and you get your chance to catch this melodic tech-death beast on tour.

Snake Mountain - ‘Villainous 1: Reverence’ is out on July 5 digitally.
