About Cobalt

There are at least three Bands called Cobalt. 1.Cobalt is a progressive black metal band from the USA. Ever since their inception in the late nineties, Colorado's (sometimes controversial) Cobalt have slowly, and slyly, made a reputation within the underground black metal scene. Their debut album (which followed their "Hammerfight" EP), aptly titled "War Metal" (released on Displeased Records) showed Cobalt's creative prowess within the genre by offering a shape-shifting dose of brutality and rawness. With the band's surging new epic, "Eater of Birds", Cobalt are pretty much destined to set a new standard as Cobalt have taken an immense leap forward, tenfold, from their debut. But that's just only scratching the surface... Recorded at Flatline Audio and produced by Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage) "Eater of Birds" not only embraces the band's vicious take on chaotic brutal avant-garde black metal while taking things to a new artistic level. By incorporating the crushing monolithicism of Neurosis and Swans, and taking avant garde black metal to new unconventional brutality, amongst ritualistic shaman-like rhythms and pulsations, through its 70-plus minute pillage, "Eater of Birds" is an unforgettable audial scourge through vast bizarre landscapes and ocean-like terrain. "Eater of Birds" features a guest appearance by none other than Jarboe on the tracks "Invincible Sun" and a moving appearance on "Androids, Automatons, And Nihilists", her first official foray into extreme metal. On March 17th 2009, Cobalt released their magnum opus, "Gin". Cobalt Profound Lore Discography *Eater of Birds (2007) *Landfill Breastmilk Beast (2008) *Gin (2009) 2.
