COBRA THE IMPALER continue their masterclass in contemporary heavy metal with Karma Collision: an action-packed collection of heavy anthems that juxtapose deceptive complexity and technical prowess with soaring hooks and stirring choruses!
Born from a deep wish to combine savage metal with gripping visuals, COBRA THE IMPALER came on the scene with their 2021 debut album Colossal Gods setting the exploits of monstrous heroes and sly gods to soaring hooks and melodies. On Karma Collision the colours deepen and the plot thickens as the band turn to a more complex and layered approach to their song writing.
Hearkening to an era in which comic books and video games became darker and more violent, these songs forcefully drag you along on a grim journey into the belly of the beast. With infinitely memorable choruses and particularly pungent bridge sections, Karma Collision takes you on a technicolour trip through a universe of troubled heroes and aweinspiring monsters. Shifting gears effortlessly from breakneck-speed bridges through dazzling pre-choruses to earworm inducing refrains, the songs on Karma Collision undeniably possess that magical fist-pumping quality that characterises the great metal anthems of old.
These songs appear deceptively simple in their complexity, yet Cobra the Impaler only use their technical prowess to greater emphasise their even more impressive use of melody. Every track will have you reaching for that volume knob multiple times, cranking it up with each new turn on this winding odyssey!
From the menacingly chugging guitars of «The Fountain» to the infinitely huge chorus of «My Inferno», and from the relentlessly pounding double kick-drumming of «Magnetic Hex» to the tasty vocal harmonies of the title track, Karma Collision remains gripping till the end and will have you singing along the heroes' chant until the world goes down into flames!
