Cobra the Impaler
Cobra the Impaler from Belgium has a love for explosive modern metal, as evident on their latest album “Karma Collision”. This is an energetic collection of heavy metal anthems that are complex and technical, yet with engaging hooks and powerful refrains.
Founded with the intent to combine heavy metal to catchy visuals, Cobra the Impaler managed to mix stories of mythical heroes and gods with catchy hooks in an ingenious manner on their 2021 debut “Colossal Gods”. On their new album, the band’s approach is more expansive and complex, adding layer upon layer inspired by the dark underbelly of comic books and video games. And the result is downright impressive; just listen to a song like ‘The Message’. Their modern, catchy metal is perfect for fans of bands like Mastodon, Gojira and The Ocean, but also of Belgian peers like Hippotraktor and Psychonaut.
