Calgary-based hard rock metal quintet KOBRA AND THE LOTUS have returned with their new studio album "Evolution", which was released at September 20th on Napalm Records.
The new LP sees the band imbued with a new fire that comes through by way of undeniable hooks, soaring guitar riffs, marching drum beats, and the soulful, bombastic vocal delivery of lead singer Kobra Paige.
"Evolution" wad produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette )ALTER BRIDGE, LINKIN PARK, SLASH, SEVENDUST).
KOBRA AND THE LOTUS consist of:
Kobra Paige – vocals, piano,
Jasio Kulakowski – lead/rhythm guitar,
Ronny Gutierrez – lead/rhythm guitar,
Brad Kennedy – bass guitar,
Marcus Lee – drums
Today's tune "Burn" is the first single from "Evolution". A hummable riff snaps into a visceral verse as the frontwoman directly declares, "I really hate you, yes I do".
“It’s about all of the reasons you hold yourself back,” she explains. “You literally need to burn all of those feelings, stories, excuses, and obstacles keeping you from being your own authentic self. It’s super personal. It’s a product of growing and arriving as a person. I’m realizing who I am. It’s symbolic of the rebirth,” says Kobra. Enjoy!
Thursday, time to present a cover of a classic tune.
"The Chain" is a song by the British-American rock band FLEETWOOD MAC, released on their best-selling album Rumours. It is the only song from the album credited to all five members (Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood).
Kobra Paige and her motley crew kept their word and now they deliver the second part of their one year old release "Prevail I"!
"Prevail II" continues where KOBRA AND THE LOTUS left off in 2017. The album also contains a cover of FLEETWOOD MACs "The Chain" and in full KOBRA AND THE LOTU spirit. Can you recognize it?"
KOBRA AND THE LOTUS are:
Kobra Paige - vocal
Jasio Kulakowski- guitar
Brad Kennedy- bass
Marcus Cox- drums
