Year of the Cobra - Year of the Cobra [Clear]

Who needs guitars when bass can shake the earth? Seattle doom duo Year of the Cobra returns with their heaviest, most refined release yet—their self-titled third album, now available on clear vinyl that’s as crystal sharp as their sound is thunderous. Amy Tung Barrysmith’s bass doesn’t just hold down the low end—it dominates it, carving out thick, sludgy grooves that carry the weight of entire riffs. Tracks like “The Descent,” “Demons,” and “The Battle of White Mountain” drip with doom-laden atmosphere, while Jon Barrysmith’s drums hit with ritualistic intensity. Building on their earlier works ...In the Shadows Below and Ash and Dust, this record shows sharpened songwriting and haunting vocal delivery, turning bleak heaviness into anthemic sludge. This isn’t just another doom album—Year of the Cobra is a two-piece force of nature, and this clear vinyl pressing lets you hear (and see) every crushing nuance in full, bone-rattling clarity.
