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." . . . . .
