Black Cobra Added To Lineup For Roadburn Festival Afterburner

Posted on Monday, October 31st, 2011

We’re excited to announce that Black Cobra will be playing a one-off show at Roadburn Festival Afterburner in support of their new album, Invernal.

A two man band featuring members of two of the unsung stars of the punk / doom / sludge scene, Cavity and 16. To be certain, these men are devotees of punishing dirges. For those familiar with their past bands, Black Cobra brings the expected blistering energy and hoarse, shouted vokills packaged in a no-frils rock and roll juggernaut. This is good, honest music designed to get your body moving and your head banging – blue collar sensibilities all the way. Just the way rock and roll should be.

Black Cobra will be play on Sunday, April 15th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Album of the day: Hull – Beyond the Lightless Sky

Posted on Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

Lovingly pinched from Teeth of the Divine: I rather enjoyed Hull‘s full length debut, Sole Lord as it was a nice sludgy record bolstered by a variety of smooth layered vocals, not unlike Baroness. However, once I hit play on their sophomore record, it was apparent Hull has changed up ...read more

Album of the day: Glorior Belli – The Great Southern Darkness

Posted on Sunday, October 16th, 2011

Praise for Glorior Belli‘s The Great Southern Darkness from San Francisco’s aQuarius Records: We’ve mentioned it before, but it seems like few can touch French black metal when it comes to originally and innovation. Whether it’s the gnarled twisted post rock flecked ritualistic blackness of Deathspell Omega, or the industrial drone ...read more

Album of the day: Black Cobra – Invernal

Posted on Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Lovingly pinched from The Obelisk: They are among the upper echelon of today’s heavy live acts, but that has turned out to be the undoing of each successive full-length from near-nomadic Los Angeles duo Black Cobra: The inability to stand up to the high standard set by the live show. ...read more

Posted on Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

Lovingly pinched from Sea of Tranquility: Set the Dial by US sludgesters Black Tusk belongs to the category of more uptempo sludge metal releases, where the hardcore punk influences which undeniably are an integral part of sludge metal, are given more prominence than the stoner and doom influences, which are normally ...read more

Posted on Monday, September 26th, 2011

Lovingly pinched from The Sleeping Shaman: San Jose’s lovable sludge slackers Noothgrush are a difficult band to follow – in their seventeen year career they’ve released a handful of demos and split 7 inches, a rarities collection and one album, all of which are pretty hard to get hold of ...read more
