San Francisco duo,Black Cobra,play heavy thrash metal,through and through.With former Acid King bassist Rafael Martinez pounding the skins and Jason Landrian playing guitar, the pair are phenomenally heavy for just two members.Landrian approaches the challenge of filling out space in an intriguing way,taking a standard tuned guitar,and dropping the top string down to A,creating a doubling up an octave apart-brutal-guitarists,give it a try,its pretty fun.
The bands latest,Invernal,is a much more polished record than their earlier material,straying away from the hardcore punk/metal origins, and heading toward the more textured Stoner/Thrash metal of bands like the Sword and High On Fire.Palm muted chugs, and revolving tom fills and thrashing vocals,the band do occasionally tone down from all out brutality into deep voids.
Caught the pair at Cherry rock a few months ago.God dam they were loud,with a couple fullstacks, some bass amps and impressively, a single kick rather than a wanky double kick.Couldn't hear a word of vocals though.Oh well,enjoy some Stoner/Thrash/Doom metal
