Silver Snakes

About Silver Snakes

An alternative metal band based out of Los Angeles, Silver Snakes formed in 2011 after lead singer Alex Estrada's former hardcore band split. The new group combined their myriad influences to produce a hard rock sound born of the post-'90s heavy alternative scene. Though he had hardcore roots, Estrada was also influenced by Latin music and industrial. The latter informed much of their sound, which nods to bands like Sleep, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and Ministry, but with a modern hardcore edge. Their first album, Pictures of a Floating World, dropped in 2012. The band grew progressively darker, as sophomore release Year of the Snake unveiled a harder, downtempo sludge. In 2016, the band added light synth elements to amp up the industrial influences on their third album, Saboteur. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
