Sweet Cobra Signs To Magic Bullet, New Album Soon

Posted on by

sweet cobra

Chicago’s Sweet Cobra have signed to Magic Bullet Records and they have also completed their long-awaited new album, Earth, due out later this spring. The album was created with producers Matt Talbot of Hum and Kurt Ballou of Converge. Recorded at Talbot’s studio Earth Analog Studios near Chamapign Illinois, and mixed at Ballou’s Godcity Studios in Salem MA, Earth also features guest musical contributions from each producer/artist. This will be the first album of new music from the group since 2010’s acclaimed Mercy album.

Magic Bullet Records Owner Brent Eyestone commented on Earth:

“Holy hell… it’s completely badass! Kind of a new sound for the band; catchier, and I can see the appeal of the sound being much broader than their previous output. I get similar feelings from the best Queens of the Stone Age, Quicksand, and Young Widows records… super catchy slabs of heaviness.”

March 28th Melody Inn – Indianapolis, IN w/ Kvlthammer

April 4th The Burlington – Chicago, IL w/ Auxes

Cult Leader Books A New Tour, New Album Due Later This Year

Posted on by

cult leader

Cult Leader has booked a new US tour and is preparing to go into the studio to record album #2 this spring. The explosive hardcore metal act was forged from the ashes of the seminal Salt Lake City band Gaza, and they funneled their new found fire to form their new band and release last year’s Nothing For Us Here on Deathwish Inc. They are heading into Godcity Studios in Salem, MA with the legendary Kurt Ballou for a release due later in 2015.

From the Press Release:

Salt Lake City’s Cult Leader is a band that needs little introduction. After the early 2013 dissolution of their prior band, metallic hardcore mainstays Michael Mason, Casey Hansen, and Anthony Lucero were joined by bassist Sam Richards to form a brand new beast: Cult Leader.

Cult Leader released their debut, Nothing For Us Here, last April via Deathwish Inc. Now, the band will head to Salem, MA to record new tracks that will become their yet-to-be-titled sophomore full-length, due later this year once again on Deathwish.

More information coming soon. In the meantime, keep up with Cult Leader on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram.
