YEAR OF THE COBRA, SOMNURI, GLOWING BRAIN, & WOOF @ COPEKA

YEAR OF THE COBRA

Formed in 2015, Year of the Cobra became a rapidly ascending, radiant star in the horizon of the doom/stoner-scene for a reason: this powerhouse duo, consisting of Amy Tung Barrysmith (vocals/ bass) and Jon Barrysmith (drums), use their limitation in instrumentation to their advantage. Leaving space for every instrument to breathe and to shine, they create a vast, larger than life sound aesthetic. Their songs drift relentlessly from classic epic doom laments into oppressive heavy riff architecture; from catchy, almost upbeat rock moments into 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. Using the natural, three-dimensional and massively heavy production of Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Sleep) they present themselves as an unbelievably mature and confident band who knows exactly what they want. Following their sophomore EP Burn Your Dead, they had successful tours of Europe and the US, playing a number of well-known festivals along the way, including Psycho Las Vegas, Freak Valley Festival, and Stoned Meadow of Doom. They are currently working on new material for their 2019 follow-up full length with legendary engineer/producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Tad, Soundgarden). The band will also hit the road hard in 2019, touring with High on Fire, supporting their Electric Messiah U.S. Tour.

SOMNURI

Currently signed to MNRK Heavy, Somnuri's atypical sludge metal attack bridges influences from progressive rock, grunge, and other sludge/post-metal groups like Mastodon, Deftones, Isis, High on Fire and Jesu, and more post-hardcore oriented artists such as Karp, Quicksand, Handsome and Helmet. Beginning with a 2015 demo, Somnuri's discography has grown to include a split with like-minded group Godmaker and three full-length albums to their name: 2017's self-titled, 2021's Nefarious Wave and 2023's Desiderium. The band also celebrated their inspirations with contributions to Magnetic Eye Records' Redux Series, covering Pink Floyd's "Sheep", Alice in Chains' "Dirt" and Soundgarden's "Mailman".Similar artists in the archives include Baroness, Kylesa, Timeworn, Inter Arma, Witch Ripper, the Atlas Moth and Dvne.

GLOWING BRAIN

A power trio that is equal parts heavy and heady. Downstroke rock n’ roll, proto-metal, noise-rock and all things ripping. Self-described – “long hair punk”.
