The Stoner-Doom duo Year Of The Cobra - Amy Tung (bass/vocals) and Jon Barrysmith (drums) - from Seattle will finally establish themselves as one of the most important bands of the genre with their second album "Ash And Dust", also because the two present themselves with psychedelic and post-punk influences more darkly and diverse than before. Meanwhile Year Of The Cobra have found their own niche where lava riffs and heavy grooves merge with a glistening graceful voice and remarkably pop hooks. Amidst the overwhelming heaviness "Ash And Dust" reveals moments of light-footed, angelic beauty. Thanks to a larger-than-life production by the legendary sound engineer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Bruce Dickinson), the album becomes a sound experience that invites you to dance into a blazing abyss.
