IRON KOBRA should be a familiar name to those who follow
DYING VICTIMS, as the Germans have become something of a
"flagship band" for the label after their two
full-lengths, 2012's Dungeon Masters and 2015's Might &
Magic. And just as those two albums' titles (and
covers!) display, IRON KOBRA are true-as-steel HEAVY
METAL time-locked in 1984! And while it's been quite
quiet on the recorded front since that second
full-length (except for the 2017 "Kerker & Drachen" 7"),
the bikers from Hell return with a brand-new track here,
"Malicious Magician," that's a glorious return to form -
and shows they're ready for a gleaming-black new
chapter, swords strapped to their iron steeds. On the
flip is fellow Germans ATOM SMASHER: despite forming in
2010, it wasn't until a decade later when they delivered
their first EP. And while a four-way split followed the
next year, the duo's spare discography suggests quality
over quantity - and that's what you get with their track
here, "The Law," which is a moody & mysterious epic of
equally archaic metal. Bright days ahead for ATOM
SMASHER, and DYING VICTIMS is stoked to get their name
out there with the ever-reliable IRON KOBRA.
