Psychonaut + Cobra the Impaler

PSYCHONAUT:

The traditional, three-piece line up of Belgian, psychedelic post-metal collective Psychonaut has long belied the compositional prowess, captivating narrative depth and crushing live presence of a band now operating at the forefront of forward-thinking, contemporary heavy music.

Having sent a shockwave through the post-metal and prog scenes with their three times repressed Pelagic Records debut Unfold The God Manin 2020 before following it up with the transformative metaphysical complexities of 2022's Violate Consensus Reality, Psychonaut have played prestigious Belgian open-air festivals like Alcatraz, Rock Herk and Boomtown Festival as well as boutique events such as Soulcrusher, Roadburn Redux and A Colossal Weekend whilst sharing stages across Europe with the likes of Amenra, Brutus and Pelagic labelmates The Ocean and PG.Lost.

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 savagemetal 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 songwriting. 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 a we -inspiring monsters. Shifting gears effortlessly from break neck-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.
