KING KOBRA - S/t (Release: April 15, 2011 EUR - May 3, 2011 USA)


Here we go with the latest by this mega-band that is back with their original '85 line up except vocalist Mark Free replaced by the iconic Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, The Cutt, Quiet Riot, Bad Boyz). This is an old school album with a total King Kobra's flavor but adds nothing new. The album rocks hard with a typical 80's Heavy Metal groovethat shines specially in cuts as "Screaming For More" or "Turn Up The Good Times". First highlight of the album is "Live Forever", a melodic cut with some keys and melacholic lyrics that make this a beautiful track. And the second highlight is "Top Of The World" a classic Hard Rock song with vocals that sometimes reminds of Mark Free but with some kind of background distortion that could make you sick. "CryinTurns To Rain" could be another song to detach.
In summary, great musicians doing a fantastic work but weak songs.
Special mention to Shortino's voice.


Best Tracks (in order of preference):

"Live Forever"
"Top Of The Worls"
