Review by Sonny for Year of the Cobra - Ash and Dust (2019)

Husband and wife drum and bass doom metal duo, Year of the Cobra, have produces another great atypical doom metal album. There's a nice variety of tracks on offer from the revved-up, punky title track, the creepy, sinister-sounding future Hallowe'en favourite, Demons and the crawling doom of the opener The Battle of White Mountain - and that's just within the first half of the album! The second half is a little more straight-up doom, until final track In Despair insinuates itself into your brain, closing the album in a Mogadon haze. Then it's a case of "well there's just time for one more hit" and spin it up again!
