Iron Cobra

About Me

We are Iron Cobra, formed early 2007 by 3 ex members of Perpetual Of The Blinding . The band, were soon to part with resident guitarist Bobby Battle in Summer 2007. Corey Rive took his place in late 2007 and has played with the band since, completing the lineup with Nick Brouard, Dave Riley, Al round and Mark Green.
As a band we set out to create something different within our music scene, a scene of which some would say is dying. Heavily influenced by new age hardcore bands, like Terror, Comeback Kid and Hatebreed, the band are also inspired by bands like Everytime I Die, He Is Legend and Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, with certain members of the bands inciting metalcore influences also. We dont really aim to create anything other than something which is gonna make you want to dance.
So far the band have one fully recorded CD "The Dead Mans Hand E.P" is available from our indiestore.com page, or at any of our shows. The band are set to begin recording their follow up E.P this winter.
Iron Cobra are thankful too, Black Star Tattoo Parlour and Havoc Gig Promotions for hooking us up with shows, Scotty G Recordings for recording our CD and Jon Degnen for creating all our graphical work.

GIG REVIEWS!
"Particular highlights tonight came in the form of original track Dead Man's Hand, which sounds like it was dragged from a swamp then through a desert before landing on our shores as a gnarled slice of southern sound" - Tom Girard
"Raw and young, they certainly have something. A brutal edge, the singer with a voice so gritty it defies his age" - Nick Mann of the Guernsey Press
"If the band continues to get reactions like they did tonight and keep playing to this standard, they could be Guernsey's next huge metal prospects" - BBC Guernsey Unsigned Bands
"One of the heaviest voices in Guernsey, Dave Riley" - Tommy G
