History & Biography
Remember the days when musicians would form hard rock bands and stick with it for a decade or two or three? Well, forget it. This ain’t your Aerosmith times, chum. The Netherlands-based act Cobra Spell was established in 2019 and had lost a dozen members by the time of the release of its debut album in 2023. Proverbial taxi driver and guitarist Sonia Anubis had picked up and offloaded passengers (and flakes) non-stop. Anubis herself was in half a dozen projects.

Male drummer Mike Verhof was dropped off in 2020. Male guitarist and co-founder Sebastian Silva was ditched in 2021. Singer Alexx Panza of Hitten left citing his schedule in 2022. Early bassist Angelina Vehera left in 2023 and had taken the longest ride. Another half a dozen short haulers/Fiverrs came and went.

The band had a 2020 demo called Love Venom. The cover artwork depicted a woman in chains who nonetheless had been given a telephone. Perhaps the artist was inspired by the film Cellular. The act appeared at Defenders Of The Faith festival 2021. Anthems Of The Night was the 2022 demo. It was taped in Spain. The group, Enforcer and Evil Invaders toured Europe in the spring of 2022. Napalm Records stepped in. The label was also in contract with Burning Witches of which Sonia had been a member. The debut album, entitled 666 (or rather 666 666), featured singer Kristina Vega, guitarists Noelle Dos Anjos and Sonia Anubis (founding member who was also on keyboards), bassist Roxy Herrera and tomboy Hale Naphtha. Anubis was based in Spain despite having been born in The Netherlands. The members originated from, and were based, all over the world. The band had a Spanish tour booked for April 2024. Noelle Dos Anjos left. The band was at Rock En Femenino in Spain in the summer. Anthems Of The Venomous Hearts was a 2025 demo. As part of its Girl Power Night, the band was booked for Corn'Rock festival in Switzerland and playing Karpaty Hard Fest in the Czech Republic in 2025.

The group announced it cannot go on and disbanded ("indefinite hiatus") as of February of 2026. The band had been bleeding members regularly. The latest guitarist had been Adri Funérailles.

The band’s tour rider included hummus as a requirement. Sonia was a vegetarian.
