Reviews BLACK COBRA - BESTIAL - AT A LOSS 
Black Cobra, despite the label’s insistence, is more a dweller of realms of noise than a full-fledged member of the metal kingdom. Screamed and harsh vocals, noisy distorted music, chaotic delivery and huge riffs that crash-land the listener slither across this recording. It is bestial, yes, but it is not black or death metal. The ethos of hardcore, the crush of grindcore and the power of metal fuse into something indeed bestial and punctuated by short-lived tracks. Broken On The Wheel is the only song that surpasses the 6-minute mark. Fans of Mastodon, Eyehategod and Dystopia should marvel and revel at two guys heaping so much noise unto a disc. Favourite track: Kay-Dur-Twenty... - Ali “The Metallian”
