Diamond Kobra is probably one of the most interesting and unique things to happen to synth music recently, and as the word spreads in 2020 - we're glad to have access to such a cool release!
Diamond Kobra at it's core is B.B. Baconsson and Otto Løfgren, who both absolutely know what they're doing when it comes to creating compelling synth music. The way they've chosen to differentiate their distorted soundscapes and busy arpeggiators is through a Progressive Metal angle, like none heard before!
Apparently, they also have a lot of friends, 12 total guests on this record, which allows something unique to come to each song. It's a bit heady, it lives in a hyper-metal, syth-dunked universe, with nods to great aesthetics, and clever voice-over additions.
It's an absolutely gorgeous looking (and sounding) record, meant for grown-ups.
Guest appearing on ‘The Arrival’ are:
Michael Amott (Arch Enemy)
Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian)
Chris Amott (Dark Tranquillity, Ex-Arch Enemy)
JM (Psychopunch)
K.D. Johansen (Supercharger)
