Year Of The Cobra, Tribunal, Wet Temple

ormed in 2015, Year of the Cobra became a rapidly ascending, radiant star on the horizon of the doom/stoner scene for a reason. The powerhouse duo—Amy Tung Barrysmith (vocals/bass) and Jon Barrysmith (drums)—use their limited instrumentation to their advantage. Leaving space for every instrument to breathe and shine, they create a vast, larger-than-life sonic aesthetic. Their songs drift relentlessly from classic epic doom laments into oppressive, heavy riff architecture, with traces of hardcore punk and transfiguring psychedelia.In 2016, just a year and one EP into their career, Year of the Cobra released their full-length debut, …In the Shadows Below. With the natural, three-dimensional, and massively heavy production of Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Sleep), the band presented themselves as an unbelievably mature and confident act that knew exactly what they wanted.Following their sophomore EP Burn Your Dead, they embarked on successful tours of Europe and the United States, performing at several well-known festivals including Psycho Las Vegas, Freak Valley Festival, and Prophecy Festival in Germany.The band released their sophomore full-length album Ash and Dust on Prophecy Productions in November 2019, produced by the legendary Jack Endino (Nirvana, Tad, Soundgarden). The album received high acclaim and sold out of multiple pressings.Currently, the band is working on a new record while performing select tour dates and festival appearances. They have recently appeared at festivals such as Snowblind, Monolith on the Mesa, Rat City Recon, and Sabertooth.
