Canadian female-fronted heavy metal band Kobra And The Lotus released a new self-titled album earlier this year, and even though they’ve been in existence as a band for more than four years, their signing to Universal Music Group and the subsequent co-signing to Gene Simmons’ record label has garnered them attention and converted them into a heavily touring band. Having said that, they deserve all the plaudits they are getting at the moment because this new album certainly presents a set of epic metal tunes that utilize the power of the female voice in a manner very few bands are able to. Singer Kobra Paige delivers some fantastic vocals not only on the album but also in the live setting, well backed up by her band mates on their respective instruments. They toured with Fear Factory last June and then with Amaranthe in July, and during these tours they played at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood CA on June 9th and again on July 30th. The latter is when I finally got a chance to see them, but before the show I had the pleasure of talking to Kobra Paige for a short and sweet interview about all things KATL. Listen to the audio of the 6-minute conversation below, and make sure you check out this band, as they look destined for big success in the near future.
