Live Review: Emeralds at King Cobra (grand-opening weekend)
I walked into King Cobra 10 minutes into Emeralds set, and was instantly
floored. They are real-deal space-prog-metal with a slight touch of glam.
And I love Hawkwind. They were the perfect band to highlight a Saturday
night. The sloppy, stringy longhaired frontman in a ripped up Celtic Frost
T-shirt climbed all over everything around him, audience included. Punks
and metal heads and the dudes from Holy Ghost Revival were waking their
arms and hats in the air, starting a little pit at times. In true metal fashion,
the rhythm and lead guitarists showed off some hot licks, all while the bass
player and drummer locked into the groove. There was a guy playing a
Hammond organ, but at times it fell too far back in the mix to be clearly
heard over the guitars. The songs were long, technical pieces of metal that
built and built to erupt at the apex, when everyone in the room would
suddenly lose their shit, myself included.
I will never see Saturday night the same way again.
