Kobra Paige and her motley crew kept their word and now they deliver the second part of their opus magnum one year after the release of Prevail I!
I cherish all the shadows of your past, even the darkest ones. Every time you try to run away it will only bring me closer. There are pieces you don’t like, hiding all the grace of being human I might find. Let Me Love You.”
“What can I say?! This track has been hard to keep a secret for two years!! We hope you will also enjoy this very special video we’ve worked hard to create. With a fusion of Manga and live performance, we’ve really jumped in with both feet to bring to you ‘Let Me Love You’ in Japanese!!! Tanoshinde kudasai !!”
“Prevail II” is the proverbial yang to the yin and continues right where Kobra And The Lotus left off in 2017. The opener ‘Losing My Humanity’ is an exemplary melodic feast of both guitar and vocal craftsmanship that anchors the Canadian four piece firmly in between hard rock and heavy metal with a modern touch and the occasional classic rock! The catchy ‘Let Me Love You’ is another brick to this massive wall of sound, but a solemn intermezzo like ‘Ribe’ and the elegiac ‘White Water’ attest to their musical virtuosity lending taste to the vulnerable and emotional side of the band.
Kobra And The Lotus know perfectly well what it takes to cater to the needs of hard rock and metal fans in 2018 without losing touch with the essential roots (just check out ‘Modern day hero’)! ” It was an immensely challenging experience but it pushed and pulled the best out of us”, comments leading lady Kobra. Who could argue with her on that one?
Due on April 27 through Napalm Records, “Prevail II” is the proverbial yang to the yin and continues right where KOBRA AND THE LOTUS left off in 2017.
“Humanity. One of the greatest struggles of our human existence is to retain it…This sequel album takes a deeper dive into the darkness of our psyche and explores the personal torment and struggle we inflict upon ourselves, one another, and the earth. It has become commonplace for people to give up on themselves and lose their belief in their abilities and self-worth. This in turn affects our daily actions/behavior. We are a cripplingly, self-harming species but we are also profoundly capable beings of altruism, evolution, and positivity. This album will close the ‘Prevail’ double sequel on the lightest of all notes by acknowledging that every single person has a desire to be and deserves to be truly seen, loved, and heard. When the ignorance is cleared, we can recognize that we are all in this together.”
