COBALT: New MP3 Posted, Cover Art/Track Listing Revealed

May 16, 2007

A full MP3 of the track "Blood Eagle Sacrifice" from the upcoming COBALT album "Eater of Birds" (to be released on Profound Lore Records) has been uploaded to this location. Likewise the album cover can be viewed on the Profound Loreweb site.

Taking the band's vicious and unconventional sound paradigm that was witnessed on its "Hammerfight" debut EP, then following with their debut album, "War Metal", "Eater of Birds" sees COBALT delivering what will undoubtedly become one of the most devastatingly memorable albums to be unleashed in 2007. With the 70-plus minute journey that will encompass such an album, you will bear observation to the amalgamation of the band's mesmerizing take on avant-garde brutal black metal, interspersed with ritualistic acoustic guitar interludes, and iced with epic and crushing NEUROSIS-like histrionics (ala "Enemy of the Sun"/"Through Silver in Blood") to create an unforgettable sonic monument. And to top it all off, "Eater of Birds" will feature a moving guest appearance by none other than Jarboe of the mighty SWANS on a couple of tracks.

"Eater of Birds" track listing:

01. When Serpents Return
02. Ulcerism
03. Ritual Use of Fire
04. Blood Eagle Sacrifice
05. Witherer
06. Ritual Use of Fire
07. Invincible Sun
08. Androids, Automatons, And Nihilists
09. Cephalopod
10. Ritual Use of Fire

Expect "Eater of Birds" to unleash its plague late July.
