Bio:
Founded by the up-and-coming guitar phenomenons Sonia Anubis (CRYPTA, Ex-BURNING WITCHES) and Sebastian Silva (UNTO OTHERS). COBRA SPELL is slithering its way into the revival era of the 80’s Glam and Heavy Metal sound. The worldwide sleaze quintet is completed with Alexx Panza (HITTEN) on vocals, Sonia Anubis on Lead Guitar, Esmée Van Sinderen on Rhythm guitar, Angelina Vehera on Bass and Léonard Cakolli on Drums. Second founder Sebastian Silva, is still being involved with the band activities and lyrics writing as a low-key member of the band.In September 2020, the band released their debut EP titled Love Venom. The songs paint a glistening image of night-life fun, reckless lust and sleazy love. Love Venom is an EP driven with many shred guitar parts, hook infused vocals and thunder-like rhythm sections. With this release, the band saw many positive reviews worldwide, pushing their drive to make new music even further.In December 2021, the band gathered up in Madrid, Spain, to record their second EP. Anthems Of The Night was recorded in December 2021 at PKO Studios. Produced, mixed and mastered by Alejandro Gabasa Barcoj from Comeback Studios. The band meticulously crafted 4 new songs, aptly fit for a summer’s night drive with the top down and the music loud.They also shoot their first videoclip, for the song “Addicted To The Night”.COBRA SPELL is armed and ready to take on the stages around the world!
Album:
COBRA SPELL channels the glam-based metal that ruled arenas and clubs in the mid-1980s on their first release, the four-song EP “Love Venom.” The EP shows the quintet from the Netherlands to have learned the lessons of their predecessors well, as it offers 17 minutes of high energy, melodically riffy, and hook heavy rock-and-roll. “Come On Tonight” opens with the sound of breaking glass, after which mildly distorted wailing guitars, backed by a driving beat, establish the track’s overriding melody. The track is propulsive and builds to big choruses that show the bands’ ability to harmonize. Sonia Anubis’s and Sebastian “Spyder” Silva’s dual guitar work is complimentary to each other, as well as the overall rhythm and tonality of the track.Starting large and grand “Poison Bite’s” foundational, guitar-driven rhythm is punctuated by cymbal crashes as the track gains momentum. It’s driving all the way through, as a single guitar line highlights the tune’s basic rhythm. The guitar solo break was of interest, both wailing and tapping, having a lighter and then denser feel. The song “Love Venom” qualifies as the EP’s power ballad. Played at a slower tempo, the track has a moody, more atmospheric feel. The guitar work speaks of longing and, in true mid-80s form, the choruses are immense.The EP closes with “Shake Me,” which I consider the highlight of the album. Reminiscent at times of MÖTLEY CRÜE’s “Dr. Feelgood,” especially during the intro, “Shake Me” shows COBRA SPELL in all their glam rock glory. Simply put, everything the band has to offer comes together and blends seamlessly on the track. “Love Venom” has the attitude and swagger of a mid-1980s metal, a time when the tunes were catchy, rhythms tight, choruses prominent, and guitar work the highlight of each song. If you let yourself go, you just might be able to see the spandex and smell the hairspray when giving this EP a spin.
