BLACK COBRA Set To Drop Chronomega; Inter-Continental Touring Begins Next Week

BLACK COBRA shall release their monolithic Southern Lord debut album Chronomega on September 29th. The album slams the listener with nine slabs of the band's diversified, patented, breakneck sludge, and shows the San Franciscan duo expanding their knowledge of punishing tones and colossal rhythm changes. View the Alan Forbes cover art for Chronomega here: http://www.southernlord.com/press/blackcobra/

 

Recently the band's video for "Sugar Water", from 2006's Bestial release, surpassed 52,000 views via Youtube and the band's Myspace page, where you can also now pre-order an amazing, limited edition Japanese import version of Bestial.

 

The band will embark on an extensive tour of Japan later this month, followed directly by a massive string of dates in Australia, including a Vice Magazine sponsored premier of the film Heavy Metal In Baghdad, in Melbourne. They then return to the States for a full US tour alongside labelmates Pelican.
