"Day of the Dead" is one of those tracks that really allowed us to dive deep into a narrative we were passionate about: the zombie apocalypse. 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️ When we wrote the lyrics, we wanted to create a world where the listener could feel the chaos and fear that comes with trying to survive when the world around them is overrun by the undead and they find themselves lost and alone with their thoughts in their final moments. 🌌💀

++++COBRA SPELL aims for world domination!++++

Femme 80s glam metal unit COBRA SPELL are back for more- revealing their second single “The Devil Inside of Me”! After releasing a smoking hot music video for their first single, “S.E.X.”, that reached 100k views in no time, the quintet lures with another temptation, both visually and musically. The songwriting skills of up-and-coming guitar phenomenon and founding member Sonia Anubis (ex-CRYPTA, ex-BURNING WITCHES) shine on this catchy future hit, proving that the highly promising band has reached a whole new level on their upcoming debut album, 666, out December 1, 2023 via Na**lm Records.

Founded in 2019 by Sonia Anubis, COBRA SPELL‘s current lineup is completed by Kristina Vega on vocals, Twitch streamer Noelle dos Anjos on guitar, Hale Naphtha on drums and Roxy Herrera on bass. Together, they have already toured with numerous established bands such as ROSS THE BOSS, ENFORCER and EVIL INVADERS, and released two globally praised EPs, Love Venom (2020) and Anthems Of The Night (2022). With these aces under their studded leather belts, COBRA SPELL are gearing up to introduce their first full-length, aiming for nothing less than 80s rock ‘n’ roll world domination.

Sonia Anubis on “The Devil Inside of Me”:
“‘The Devil Inside of Me’ speaks about how a girl leaves aside a life oppressed by a religious upbringing. She decides to follow her own path by doing what really makes her happy in life, which is translated in passions that are not common in religious environments. Her family sees it as being troubled & lost - when in reality, she is just living her life freely as she is meant to. She owns her life. Her family distances themselves from her due to her choices. Sometimes, living a free life has a painfully expensive price.”

This time we introduce The Swedish all-female three-piece band THE GEMS to you, that will release their debut album "Phoenix" on January 26, 2024 via Na**lm Records.

The most promising new rock band, THE GEMS, consisting of three ex-Thundermother members: incomparable vocalist Guernica Mancini, powerhouse drummer Emlee Johansson, and guitar and bass virtuoso Mona Lindgren, have released a new single, the energetic “P.S.Y.C.H.O”, cut from their upcoming debut album, "Phoenix".
With Thundermother, THE GEMS reached #6 with their last two albums on the Official German Album Charts, and THE GEMS’ first singles have already gained impressive attention, with “Like A Phoenix” peaking at #2 on the German Rock Radio Airplay Charts.

THE GEMS’ extraordinary potential was proven right after the release of their very first standalone single, “Like A Phoenix”, in summer 2023. The single immediately landed at #2 on the German Rock Radio Airplay Charts and turned the heads of avid rock fans around the world. With their previous band, the members of THE GEMS took over stages at massive festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Sweden Rock Festival, and even toured with the mighty Scorpions, and the newly formed trio has already played their first shows, convincing audiences with their impressive live energy.

Check out the crazy official new music video to “P.S.Y.C.H.O” below to get a nice taste of THE GEMS’ upcoming debut album!

THE GEMS on “P.S.Y.C.H.O”:
“P.S.Y.C.H.O is a fast and fun party track, with a chorus that will drive you crazy in the most magnificent way. We’re all bound to bump into some energy vamps so why not propose a toast in their honor? And who begins a song with insane drum fills soaked in flanger? WE DO! Maybe we are the psychos ourselves?! Watch the music video to get some clues…”
