│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Unique and energetic female vocalists in Rock ║ │
│║ and Heavy Metal are still carrying a strong ║ │
│║ presence in 2018 and one primary candidate for a ║ │
│║ dominating leader suited to both categories is ║ │
│║ Kobra Paige, the lead vocalist from Canadian ║ │
│║ Heavy Metal band Kobra and the Lotus, who will ║ │
│║ drop their latest album Prevail II through ║ │
│║ Napalm Records on Friday, April 27, 2018. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Branding itself as a sequel to 2017Æs Prevail, ║ │
│║ the endearing qualities of the original remain ║ │
│║ prominent in Prevail II. With not too far of a ║ │
│║ cry from the 2014 release High Priestess, ║ │
│║ although they have gone through a few sound ║ │
│║ transformations, the band ultimately ended up ║ │
│║ with a successful eleven-track û plus acoustic ║ │
│║ bonus song û for their latest album. This ║ │
│║ quintet of musicians features Kobra Paige as its ║ │
│║ only female member and Jasio Kulakowski as the ║ │
│║ masterful guitarist, along with Brad Kennedy on ║ │
│║ bass, and Marcus Lee on the creative drumming. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As a fairly recent edition to the Heavy Metal ║ │
│║ world, in their ninth year of existence, Prevail ║ │
│║ II marks the bandÆs fifth studio accomplishment ║ │
│║ and a wonderment of experimentation. Starting ║ │
│║ off with an appropriately heavy track called ║ │
│║ ôLosing My Humanity,ö KobraÆs vocal range is ║ │
│║ fully exemplified using highs and lows that ║ │
│║ overlay the classic Heavy Metal guitar riffs ║ │
│║ nicely. The next track, ôLet Me Love You,ö is a ║ │
│║ marketable one, and obviously a lovable tune ║ │
│║ that would do well in a live setting. It also ║ │
│║ goes over well in the acoustic format, as is ║ │
│║ featured at the end of the album. A love ballad ║ │
│║ at heart, with a touch of feminine independence, ║ │
│║ the track gives the listener full satisfaction. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Next up comes a two-minute, well-written ║ │
│║ acoustic interlude titled ôRibeö that simply ║ │
│║ breaks up any chance of monotony, and challenges ║ │
│║ the listener to attempt to identify the band as ║ │
│║ only one genre or key sound. The song ôFallen ║ │
│║ Empireö jumps back into the fast and furious ║ │
│║ Heavy Metal world, and lends itself to a similar ║ │
│║ vibe as bands such as Huntress with the ║ │
│║ creatively driven guitars and deeply ║ │
│║ intoxicating vocals. Immediately following are ║ │
│║ more semi-heavy tracks, including ôHeartacheö ║ │
│║ and ôVelvet Roses,ö packed with flavorful trials ║ │
│║ and topics. As a more Rock ballad-type tune, ôA ║ │
│║ Modern Day Heroö comes in at a slightly ║ │
│║ underwhelming pace, but still captures the ║ │
│║ necessary attention with charm that deems it a ║ │
│║ worthy selection regardless. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Triumphantly reaching towards the end of the ║ │
│║ album, the song ôYouÆre Insaneö flows back to ║ │
│║ the heavy and the fantastical realm with ║ │
│║ creatively flowing vocals and beats. Finally, ║ │
│║ before the end, Kobra tones it down once again ║ │
│║ and takes on the challenge of a Fleetwood Mac ║ │
│║ song, ôThe Chain.ö A perfectly well-done ║ │
│║ stylistic rendition that further lends to the ║ │
│║ comprehension that KobraÆs courage, talent, and ║ │
│║ skill push her to the height of high-end ║ │
│║ vocalist status. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Prevail II comes from a good-hearted world of ║ │
│║ peace and loving emotional passion released ║ │
│║ through some great stylized Heavy Metal tunes. A ║ │
│║ great step forward for Kobra and the Lotus, it ║ │
│║ also highly recommend catching them on their ║ │
│║ current tour with Texas Hippie Coalition. It is ║ │
│║ for this reason that CrypticRock give Prevail II ║ │
│║ 4.5 out of 5 stars. ║ │
