Seattle stoner doom powerhouse YEAR OF THE COBRAs second album "Ash And Dust" is sure to ultimately establish the duo - comprised of Amy Tung (bass/vocals) and Jon Barrysmith (drums) - as one of the genre's brightest stars, presenting a darker and more diverse sound than before with both psychedelic and post punk elements where they use their limitation in instrumentation to their advantage. Their songs drift relentlessly from classic epic doom laments into oppressive heavy riff architecture; from catchy, almost upbeat rock moments into transfiguring psychedelia.
By now, YEAR OF THE COBRA have found their very own niche, where lava-like riffs and pounding grooves melt with vocals of radiant grace and hooks of remarkable pop sensibility. Between all its excruciating heaviness, "Ash And Dust" reveals moments of light-hearted and angelic beauty. Captured into a larger-than-life production by legendary sound engineer Jack Endino (NIRVANA, SOUNDGARDEN, BRUCE DICKINSON), the album is a sonic experience that makes you want to dance into a flaming abyss.
Today's tune "Into The Fray" is taken from "Ash And Dust", enjoy!
