HAILING FROM Canada and fronted by powerhouse vocalist KOBRA PAIGE, also the band’s founding force, the defining factor here is a commitment to engage, entertain & excite, spear-headed by a live show that is crying out to be heard through larger amps in bigger venues… “Kobra And The Lotus are the fire-breathing, female-fronted heavy metal bombshell. Classic, Priest-loving riffs. Powerhouse drummer. Singer who can belt the Halfordian high-notes … these Canadian head-bangers can’t return soon enough for us” – Classic Rock Magazine: OF COURSE, capturing the adrenaline-rush of a live show on record is never a straight-ahead task, but with Kevin Churko (Five Finger Death Punch, Ozzy) acting as producer, along with Julius ‘Juice’ Butty, the band’s debut album has been put to tape with as much energy & emotion as five musicians can muster in a secured environment, with no unnecessary gimmicks or off-point ideas to weaken the signal.Scheduled for release in August 2012, with video track ‘Welcome To My Funeral’ already out there making its mark, it’s clear that this band is now honed to a fine and dangerous point….“Touring had a huge influence on us in terms of realizing which direction we wanted the new songs to go in,” says Kobra. “We really wanted to take the live show and capture the spirit of that as best we could. It’s all about the power and the glory, after all!” KOBRA AND THE LOTUS. A new name, a new band, but one built to last… and to stimulate all of the senses along the way."Kobra and the Lotus are the fire-breathing, female-fronted heavy metal bombshell. Classic, Priest-loving riffs. Powerhouse drummer. Singer who can belt the Halfordian high-notes ... these Canadian headbangers can't return soon enough for us." Classic Rock Magazine: The band has recorded their second album, Executive Produced by Kevin Churko and produced by Kevin Churko and Julius 'Juice' Butty, scheduled for release in August 2012. A pre-release of their music video “Welcome To My Funeral” point to an undisputed evolution in the band; the music is stronger, meaner and heavier. “Touring for ‘Out Of The Pit’ had a huge influence on us in terms of realizing which direction we wanted the new music to take,” says Kobra. “We really wanted to create new music that would portray the large amount of energy we put forward in a live performance.”

Album:

For the past couple of years, KOBRA AND THE LOTUS seem to have been a band that plenty of Metal fans have been aware of, but not actually listened to. They’ve had several massive tours supporting big name acts and certain corners of the press have fallen over themselves to shower them with praise, yet they haven’t quite captured the imagination of head-bangers at large yet.There’s a multitude of reasons for this of course. It’s tough being an up and coming band in today’s market, even if you do have the approval of Gene Simmons himself. In fact having an association with rock music’s answer to Krusty The Klown has probably had just as many drawbacks as benefits, as the Demon has never let artistic credibility get in the way of a fast buck and to the casual onlooker, it’d be easy to think that they have about as much depth and worth as Tongue Magazine.On the strength of ‘High Priestess’ however it’d be a real shame if KOBRA AND THE LOTUS didn’t start to get more of the commercial recognition they deserve. It’s not an astonishing album by any means, but it is a very competent and well executed collection of songs. There are hooks aplenty, some great musicianship and in Kobra Paige, they have a singer who is as charismatic on record as she is onstage.Sitting comfortably between the glamour of Tarja Turunen and the sleaze of Taylor Momsen, she has an instantly recognisable voice and despite clearly having some classical training, she seems more at home rocking out than warbling about eternal sorrow while a symphony orchestra plays in the background. Her performance on tracks like ‘Hold On,’ ‘High Priestess’ and ‘Willow’ is never less than impeccable, getting close to full on Power Metal but always reigning it in at the last second.Perhaps the biggest advantage they have though is that KOBRA AND THE LOTUS have managed to write that rare thing; a Metal album that could appeal to non-metalheads. Tracks like ‘Visionary,’ ‘Willow’ and first single ‘I Am, I Am’ would be perfectly at home on mainstream radio stations and if they could get one of their music videos on regular rotation, they could be on to a winner.All of which begs the question of why ‘High Priestess’ is merely a good album rather than a classic? Well, the stark truth is that while it has plenty to recommend it, it’s also lacking that spark of instant brilliance and nothing leaps out to grab you fiercely like ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’ did on its first play. It’s also bookended by a couple of duff tracks: the opening ‘Warhorse’ is just a tad generic, while ‘Lost In The Shadows’ is an attempt at an epic ballad which is neither epic nor moving enough.That shouldn’t detract from the fact though that for eighty percent of its run time, ‘High Priestess’ is an enjoyable and very respectable release. If your sole remit is death growls, breakdowns and circle pits, stay away, but there’s still room in the world for the more traditionally minded and it can only be a matter of time before Jack Black falls in love with the singer.

Album:

Known for supporting legendary bands KISS and DEF LEPPARD on KISS's massive 40th-anniversary North American tour last summer, Canada's explosive hard rockers KOBRA AND THE LOTUS will soon release a brand new EP. Due out August 28, the "Words Of The Prophets" EP (Titan Music) was produced by the Grammy-nominated Johnny K (MEGADETH, DISTURBED, THREE DOORS DOWN) and will feature cover songs by great Canadian artists.KOBRA AND THE LOTUS's video for the band's cover version of ALANNAH MYLES's 1989 smash hit "Black Velvet" can be seen below.Of the new release, frontwoman Kobra Paige commented, "KOBRA AND THE LOTUS is a riff-loving, vocal-whaling, storm-bringing band. We couldn't do what we do without paying homage to the true roots that were laid down before us."'Words Of The Prophets' is a tribute to those great Canadian classic rock influences that have set the foundation for music magic since we first heard these songs playing on the radio as little kids. They carry a ton of nostalgia, inspire ambitious journeys, and we hope to rub some of that off on you!"KOBRA AND THE LOTUS's most recent album, "High Priestess" (Titan Music), was also produced by Johnny K and delivers a blend of fiery vocals (courtesy of lead singer Kobra Paige), heavy riff-laden melodies and ferocious musicianship. DecibelMagazine.com declared it "a stunning slab of beating, bleeding traditional metal heart and unadulterated bombast refracted and heightened through a dynamic prism of those very things that are actually right with modern metal." Led by frontwoman, the classically-trained vocal powerhouse and Calgary native Kobra Paige, KOBRA AND THE LOTUS has been making a name for themselves worldwide with extensive touring and two well-received albums.

Explosive Canadian hard rockers Kobra And The Lotus will release their new album and Napalm Records debut, "Prevail I", on May 12. Frontwoman Kobra Paige on the story of Prevail I, the band’s most ambitious effort to date: “When we are born, we are innocent, pure, and unshaped. This mandala signifies a human at the beginning of its journey. Unscathed and beautiful, the mandala is each and every one of us. As this album unfolds, you will notice it’s more than just music. 'Prevail I' is a story of visceral truth and I believe, if we’re really being honest with ourselves, everyone will find their story within it. After all, the battles may differ, but we all started as the same mandala and we are more relatable than we’d like to admit. Our only wish is that you may enjoy the freaking crap out of this album and find comfort in realizing you’re not alone.” Produced by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe, Epica) and mastered by Grammy award winning Ted Jensen, and featuring the soon to be classic songs "You Don’t Know" and "Light Me Up" that will undoubtedly usher the band to much deserved elevated hard rock status. Evolution is inevitable and Kobra And The Lotus have delivered their most powerful album to date, "Prevail I", with "Prevail II" to complete the story in the not too distant future.

Album:

One year after releasing the first half of the band’s double-disc record, Kobra and the Lotus return with Prevail II. The album’s first half, 2017’s Prevail I showcased a shift is direction that found KatL pushing new boundaries for themselves, and moving outside of the confines of their comfort zone. The result yielded one of the year’s best hard rock and metal records. Kobra Paige eclipsed all previous performances vocally, and the overall songwriting demonstrated the band’s willingness to blaze new paths for themselves.As noted in our review of Prevail I, Kobra and the Lotus holed up in Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Pretty Maids, Doro, Primal Fear) to record the album. The recordings for Prevail II were completed at the same time. It then became a decision on how to split the record in two to give them balance and cohesion. To that end, I believe they were successful. Prevail II is equally powerful in its own right. While there may not be as many tracks with the infectious echo of “TriggerPulse” or “You Don’t Know,” Prevail II has more depth and dexterity.The album opens with the first single, “Losing My Humanity,” which ties to two records together seamlessly. Crunchy, chugging guitars and Paige’s soaring vocals combine with a powerful lyrical message and nice hooks. This segues nicely in to the bouncy and somewhat Gothic rhythms of “Let Me Love You.” After the intro the tempo shifts on the verse to allow Paige emotive space. By the time the chorus rides in, you have another addictive and memorable chorus on your hands.The album shifts directions for the acoustic interlude, “Ribe” which recalls memories of early Heart from the Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen days. This rolls into “My Immortal,” which yields both epic heaviness and quieter, almost lilting moments.Bassist Brad Kennedy and drummer Marcus Lee set a pummeling backdrop for guitarist Jasio Kulakowski’s dancing fretwork to open the aggressive “Fallen Empire.” This track really showcases the immense talents of each band member, with Kulakowski truly getting a moment to shine. The energy then shifts again to the radio-friendly “Heartache.” A song addresses regret and how personal insecurities lead to self-destructive choices.The album’s second half takes off with the dirty edginess of “Velvet Roses,” which defies the expectation the title suggests. The track is a plodding beast of heavy riffs backstopping a tale about find one’s direction in the midst of a personal free fall.Kobra and the Lotus tap into their spaghetti western ethos for the brooding track, “Modern Day Hero.” The song has a rambling feel to it, though it is thoroughly weighty and dark. The album then takes off at full gallop for the rampaging drive of “You’re Insane.” There is such huge European power metal feel to this song with the massive vocals performances and spiraling melodies. Yet on the breakdown, there is very much a modern North American sense to it.The album winds down with the melancholic beauty of “White Water.” That mournful quality follows over to the band’s cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” The song originally appeared as a Japanese-only bonus track for Prevail I. It finds a home here and is a fantastic way to close out Prevail II.Each trip through Prevail II bears new fruit and sonic nuances somehow missed in previous listens. Kobra and the Lotus have followed through on the expectations set by its predecessor. The band continues to evolve and expand its sound without ever ignoring its past or compromising to please others. Prevail I should have served as a launch pad to make Kobra and the Lotus a headline act. It is a sad indictment of the state of the music industry that it did not garner more notice. Hopefully, Prevail II will continue to elevate the band’s status as it deserves significant attention.

HAILING FROM Canada and fronted by powerhouse vocalist KOBRA PAIGE, also the band’s founding force, the defining factor here is a commitment to engage, entertain & excite, spear-headed by a live show that is crying out to be heard through larger amps in bigger venues… “Kobra And The Lotus are the fire-breathing, female-fronted heavy metal bombshell. Classic, Priest-loving riffs. Powerhouse drummer. Singer who can belt the Halfordian high-notes … these Canadian head-bangers can’t return soon enough for us” – Classic Rock Magazine: OF COURSE, capturing the adrenaline-rush of a live show on record is never a straight-ahead task, but with Kevin Churko (Five Finger Death Punch, Ozzy) acting as producer, along with Julius ‘Juice’ Butty, the band’s debut album has been put to tape with as much energy & emotion as five musicians can muster in a secured environment, with no unnecessary gimmicks or off-point ideas to weaken the signal.Scheduled for release in August 2012, with video track ‘Welcome To My Funeral’ already out there making its mark, it’s clear that this band is now honed to a fine and dangerous point….“Touring had a huge influence on us in terms of realizing which direction we wanted the new songs to go in,” says Kobra. “We really wanted to take the live show and capture the spirit of that as best we could. It’s all about the power and the glory, after all!” KOBRA AND THE LOTUS. A new name, a new band, but one built to last… and to stimulate all of the senses along the way."Kobra and the Lotus are the fire-breathing, female-fronted heavy metal bombshell. Classic, Priest-loving riffs. Powerhouse drummer. Singer who can belt the Halfordian high-notes ... these Canadian headbangers can't return soon enough for us." Classic Rock Magazine: The band has recorded their second album, Executive Produced by Kevin Churko and produced by Kevin Churko and Julius 'Juice' Butty, scheduled for release in August 2012. A pre-release of their music video “Welcome To My Funeral” point to an undisputed evolution in the band; the music is stronger, meaner and heavier. “Touring for ‘Out Of The Pit’ had a huge influence on us in terms of realizing which direction we wanted the new music to take,” says Kobra. “We really wanted to create new music that would portray the large amount of energy we put forward in a live performance.”

Album:

Following a decade marked by stand-out releases, countless successful global tours and consistent critical acclaim, JUNO Award nominated power metal mainstays Kobra And The Lotus position themselves to progress yet again on their sixth full-length "Evolution". The album infuses fresh yet timeless spirit into their renowned instrumental virtuosity, arena ready energy and towering hooks. The album arrives on the heels of "Prevail I" (2017) and "Prevail II" (2018), which received a nom for 'metal/hard album of the year' at the 2019 JUNO Awards and upped their total streams past 25 million and counting. This time around, they enlisted Michael 'Elvis' Baskette (Alter Bridge, Slash, Sevendust) behind the board and crafted the album together in his Florida based studio. The driving force of "Burn!" attacks the senses with massive groove fueled by a rush of guitars and seismic delivery. Then comes the poignant call to arms including killer chorus in shape of "Get The F*ck Out Of Here". Meanwhile, "Thundersmith" makes its presence known as one of the most hard rocking, catchy tracks KATL have created thus far. This is rock built for the arena and this record lives up to its title as Kobra And The Lotus ignite their next phase in fittingly bold, bright and brazen fashion.
