Belgium fast growing act COBRA THE IMPALER are releasing a brand new video for ‘Spirit Of Lyssa’ track on the 16th of January 2023. It is taken from their debut album’ Colossal Gods’ released on Listenable last year. While ‘Colossal Gods’ album was mostly made and finalized in the band home country and mastered by Jens Bogren in Sweden, the drums were recorded at Northwood Sound Studios in Los Angeles displaying the stunning work of drummer extraordinaire Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth).
’Spirit of Lyssa’ video follows their previous video for the track ‘Mountains’
Taking strong cues from the New Wave of American Heavy Metal, COBRA THE IMPALER forges together larger-than-life grooves and spirited guitar leads with enchanting clean vocal harmonies and razor-sharp screams. Effortlessly flowing from breakneck riffs to tasteful melodic breaks, the band makes strong use of stylistic elements from groove, thrash, and classic heavy metal. 'Colossal Gods’ is an exercise in empowerment as well as a show of subtle restraint, proving themselves as masters of melody as well as destruction.
The band comments : " In what can be considered a sequel, or mirror image, to the dark ritual magic seen in the video for “Mountains”, “Spirit Of Lyssa” this time tells the story of another mortal being, cleansing herself in preparation to be reborn, at peace with herself and her fate. Rather than being consumed with pain and torment, she is at peace, headstrong and determined for a new start, in a new world. "
'Spirit of Lyssa’ video was directed by Nick Suchak, Concept & art direction was created by Thijs De Cloedt.
