KOBRA AND THE LOTUS Issue Lyric Video For New Track ‘Thundersmith’
September 18th, 2019

Calgary, Canada-based heavy metal band Kobra And The Lotus have released an official lyric video for the track ‘Thundersmith’, which can be viewed below.

Speaking about the song, vocalist Kobra Paige said: “We’ve laid the sauce on HARD!!! The guitar licks are groovy as ever and the beat is anthemic. I wrote my vocals about my journey in the music industry as one woman single handedly pushing a band. This is my way of saying I haven’t given up yet. I am what I am. I keep getting up and trying no matter what happens. I’m proud of who I am, I’m going to keep being who I am, and we all should be. If you feel me, hop on my train. Like Chris Cornell said ‘To be yourself is all that you can do’. Let’s live empowered, be fucking brilliant, like we we’re supposed to so we can be / do better for ourselves and everyone around us”

Kobra And The Lotus issue sixth full-length studio album Evolution on September 20th, 2019 through Napalm Records.

Kobra Paige commented: “The new body of work sets the tone for the music going forward. Sonically, it’s still heavy. It highlights the showmanship and maintains the edge. At the same time, it’s approachable. It pays tribute to our influences, but it takes the next step. So, it’s a reintroduction to us and a rebirth. A firm goal was to build a strong identity and update everything. We just want to be Kobra And The Lotus; that’s what we’re doing.

“We’ve never done a record like Evolution. We’ve flown demos over the internet back and forth or started a few ideas prior to hitting the studio. This time, we were all working together in the flesh for the full duration of the writing process. It’s a collision of everything we love. We feel like it’s the freshest and most timeless thing we’ve brought to the table.”
