KING KOBRA new album

KING KOBRA RETURN WITH A NEW ALBUM ENTITLED "II" DUE FOR RELEASE IN JULY ON FRONTIERS:te]Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of King Kobra's new studio album “II” on July 5 in Europe and July 9 in North America.
King Kobra's long-awaited reunion album “King Kobra”
(s/t) released on Frontiers Records in 2011, left no doubt that this
was a band to be reckoned with. Even though nearly 25 years had passed
since the original line-up recorded the landmark “Ready To Strike” and
“Thrill Of A Lifetime” albums, the energy and immediacy of the bands
lightning attack had not diminished one iota and fans responded in kind.
“We chose to name this album “II”
because it is both the second album of our reformation with Frontiers
Records as well as the second generation of the band with Paul Shortino
as lead vocalist,” says guitarist David Michael-Philips. “Paul's
unique style gives the band a new feel apart from what we were in the
80s with original singer Mark/Marcie Free. I think the “re-boot” naming
gives Paul the credit he deserves while paying homage to our original
singer and sound”.

The thick, soulful vocals of Paul Shortino, dual guitarists Mick Sweda and David Michael-Philips, and the thundering bass and drums of Johnny Rod and Carmine Appice
delivered an album that, while easily carrying on the tradition of the
first two releases, brought a contemporary twist to a signature melodic,
hard rock style. “The “70's” flavour of this new album was a conscious move to incorporate our influences into the music,” says David Michael-Philips, while Carmine Appice adds “King
Kobra was a band in the '80s with great players...and had roots in the
'70s also.. We tried to make a cool combination of both, which I think
we achieved with this new album”.
Produced by David Henzerling with Carmine Appice and Paul Shortino, “II”
digs into King Kobra hard rock roots to create an album that has all
the swagger and swing of the classic 70's albums (think Montrose, Bad
Company, Deep Purple and even Carmine's own legendary Cactus) with a
crystal clear sound that combines the best of both analogue and digital
recording techniques. From the tight and punchy “Have A Good Time” to
the 8-minute epic “Deep River”, “II” shows a more mature band confident
of its songwriting ability performing with the technical prowess
garnered over years of experience.

“II” tracklisting includes: Hell On Wheels; Knock
'Em Dead; Have A Good Time; The Ballad Of Johnny Rod; Take Me Back; When
The Hammer Comes Down; Running Wild; The Crunch; Got It Comin'; Deep
River; Don't Keep Me Waiting; We Go Round.
