Pax Aeternum Welcomes COBRA NOIR
Along with cities like Bremen (Germany) and Boston (United States), Montreal, Quebec (Canada) was an absolutely essential hub in the progression and exponential rise of proper metallic hardcore from the mid 90's onward.
Here in the United States, many in the hardcore scene of the mid 90's first got exposure to the Quebec strain via bands like Ire, One Eyed God Prophecy, Drift, and Seized. This was followed by a wave that included The Black Hand and Born Dead Icons amongst others. Having already shared members many times over, the next wave (which rose in rapid succession) featured even more collaboration amongst many of the same players via bands like Cursed and the band whose catalog Pax Aeternum is proud to now be bringing into the digital realm: COBRA NOIR.
Sixteen years to the day of their final performance, we are thrilled to be able to announce Cobra Noir's digital release schedule. In the coming days and weeks, the following recordings will populate DSP’s worldwide:
• September 28: The Holy Mountain/Cobra Noir split EP
• October 12: Abode of the Dead full-length
• October 26: Road to Ruins EP
• November 9: Barricades full-length
All of the proceeds from these albums will be distributed to charities and causes determined quarterly by a recently-formed committee that includes band and community members dedicated to bringing assistance and relief toward dynamically changing conditions at home and abroad.
If you are interested in owning digital copies of the albums, pre-orders for all four releases are currently available at: https://cobranoir.bandcamp.com
By purchasing the albums via Bandcamp, you will get access to your files a week before each title releases widely on other platforms. Thank you.
