Forged in the asphalt-cracked underbelly of Houston, TX, NIGHT COBRA unleashes a blistering, high-octane take on razor-sharp heavy metal. Following their celebrated debut album released in 2022 on High Roller Records the band returns sharper, leaner, and more dangerous than ever with a new union with independent heavy metal purveyor Nameless Graves Records. Mixed by the great Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, etc.), 'Beware the Dark Future' is due on November 6 with two stunning vinyl variants, CD, and digital formats. The "Keepers of the Cult" are now unleashing the anthemic first single, which can be found below.

'Beware the Dark Future' is now available for pre-order via Nameless Graves for CD HERE and vinyl HERE. The single will be available digitally at a later date.

NIGHT COBRA frontman Christian "Bakka" Larson comments, "As the world crumbles we give you an offering of apocalyptic heavy metal. This album is for those without hope and know that humanity has no future...."

Forged in the asphalt-cracked underbelly of Houston, TX, trad metal revivalists NIGHT COBRA unleashes a blistering, high-octane take on razor-sharp heavy metal designed to blow the future apart. Following their celebrated debut album released in 2022 on High Roller Records the band returns sharper, leaner, and more dangerous than ever with a new union with independent heavy metal purveyor Nameless Graves Records.

Fronted by Christian "Bakka" Larson, the driving force behind Necrofier, veteran of Eternal Champion and Venomous Maximus, and visionary creator/producer of the powerhouse Hell's Heroes festival, Night Cobra carries the torch of true metal pedigree while injecting it with a lethal dose of swagger and attitude that can only come from a band that calls Texas home. The album was mixed by the great Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne) and also marks appearances from Texas metal masters Dobber Beverly (Necrofier, Insect Warfare, Oceans of Slumber) and Trevi Biles (Venomous Maximus). The album is bolstered by a guest appearance from James Rivera (Helstar, ex-Destiny's End, ex-Vicious Rumors, ex-Malice).

From the battle-scarred strongholds of Portland, OR rises a new force in epic heavy metal: UNCHAINED VENGEANCE. The newcomers are pleased to now make their debut with 'Unbound and Unforgiving,' an anthemic offering with epic soundscapes that conjure the feeling of valiantly riding into battle on horseback with sword and mace in hand. To celebrate this forthcoming record, the band is now unleashing the very first single, "The Whisper of Sorrowsbane," along with a lyric video. The clip can be found below .

From the battle-scarred strongholds of Portland, Oregon rises a new force in Epic Heavy Metal: UNCHAINED VENGEANCE.

Forged by the union of powerhouse vocalist Nick Courtney (former member of Vicious Rumors and the acclaimed Iron Maiden tribute band Fear of the Dark) and multi-instrumentalist Nick Wusz (of Dolven and Travellers Rest), UNCHAINED VENGEANCE arrives with their debut full-length assault, Unbound and Unforgiving.

This is a journey into an age long forgotten—an time where honor outweighs gold, where warriors carve their legends in steel, and where the sword triumphs over sorcery. Across ten triumphant tracks, UNCHAINED VENGEANCE unleashes a relentless barrage of thunderous riffs, soaring vocals, galloping rhythms, and heroic melodies destined to echo across the battlefield.

From the bond between warrior and blade in "The Whisper of Sorrowsbane," to the condemnation of false champions in "False Knight," and the bittersweet return to a fallen homeland in "Only Ruins Remain," Unbound and Unforgiving weaves tales of courage, loss, revenge, and redemption. Majestic acoustic passages and contemplative interludes, masterfully performed by dungeon synth maestro Fen Walker, provide moments of reflection before the next charge into glory.

Adorned with breathtaking cover art by Silvana Massa and a battle-ready logo crafted by Brendan Elliot, this debut stands as a banner for all who still believe in the warrior spirit.

Raise your steel. Break your chains. March into the fire.

The age of UNCHAINED VENGEANCE has begun.

Carved in blood…Forged in fire…Unbound and Unforgiving

Lineup:

Nick Courtney - Vocals

Nick Wusz - Guitars, bass, drums

Interlude Tracks 1,4,7, and 10 by Fen Walker
