Welcome to the Snake Pit !!!

About Me

Rattlesnake are a young (16-18) year old Melodic Metal band, with Power, Thrash and Progressive influences. The 6 piece hail from Western Sydney and formed 18 months ago. Rattlesnake have begun to make a huge impact on the Sydney music scene with their strong material, highly entertaining shows and the way each member works together to make the music of Rattlesnake unique and unlike any other Metal band.
The band is made up of:
Vocals: Andrew Torrisi (16)
Lead/Rhythm Guitar and Backing Vocals: Nick Ferreri (16)
Lead/Rhythm Guitar: Raffaele Lavorato (16)
Lead/Rhythm Guitar: Jozo Muller (18)
Bass Guitar: Jayden Spillane (16)
Drums: Damian Costas Silveira (18)
Rattlesnake were given the honour of supporting LORD (formerly Dungeon) on their first all ages show. The band caught the eye of many listeners and have a growing support base. In 2005, the band recorded and released their first E.P, titled Human Wickedness. The E.P sold 500 copies and is now sold out. In 2006, the band hit the studio again to record a new demo, featuring Invaders Plan and This is our Creed. Through myspace these songs have received over 5100 plays in 7 months and have been given great feedback. The new demo has been featured on American website Prog Metal and both songs have been aired on Radio Metal Storm in America.Rattlesnake are an upcoming band, who are the future of the Australian Metal scene. They will hold the legacy of pure Australian metal to the next generation of metalheads."Stay True, Stay Metal!"
