King Kobra II

2013, King Kobra's long-awaited reunion album KING KOBRA in 2011, left no doubt that this was a band to be reckoned with. 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. 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 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.
