Description
International sleaze rock quintet COBRA SPELL strike with their debut album, 666, out December 1, 2023 via Napalm Records! Founded in 2019 by up-and-coming guitar phenomenon Sonia Anubis (ex-CRYPTA, ex-BURNING WITCHES), the band's current lineup is completed by Kristina Vega on vocals, Noelle dos Anjos on guitar, Hale Naphtha on drums and Roxy Herrera on bass. Together they have already toured with numerous established bands such as ROSS THE BOSS, ENFORCER and EVIL INVADERS, and released two globally praised EPs, Love Venom (2020) and Anthems Of The Night (2022). With these aces under their studded leather belts, COBRA SPELL now introduce their first full-length, aiming for nothing less than 80s rock 'n' roll world domination.
A heavily classic rock inspired intro track paves the way for the energetic first single "S.E.X.", which is centered around Kristina Vega's sky-high vocals. The essence of 666 is without a doubt untamable and unapologetic feminine power, refreshingly twisting typical lyrical themes of 80s sleaze metal - particularly present on tracks like "Satan Is a Woman" and "Bad Girl Crew". COBRA SPELL don't limit themselves to glam rock and heavy metal clich?s with their instrumentation either - from tingling synths to a groovy saxophone solo on "Love = Love", the band skillfully combines different 80s-inspired soundscapes. COBRA SPELL's songwriting skills especially shine on catchy future hit "The Devil Inside of Me" and emotional "Fly Away" - the latter representing one of the slower songs on the album. Mesmerizing melodies and absorbing drum patterns are topped off by raspy rock 'n' roll vocals on the W.A.S.P.-inspired anthem of runaways and rebels, "Warrior From Hell", before shredding "High on Love" wraps the album up on an uplifting note.
COBRA SPELL's ambitious, smoking hot debut attack, 666, showcases the undisputable talent of the outfit, and is sure to settle the rising rockers' standing in the scene. These fierce ladies take no prisoners and are now ready to take on all stages worldwide, with a hunger to put on a show that will leave audiences around the globe bewitched, speechless and begging for more.
