I didn’t. Until a friendly tip pointed me over to their MySpace page, anyway, where after some quick buffer time my ears were assaulted by “Negative Reversal.” I don’t know what it’s going to be released on (though one assumes it’ll make the cut for their forthcoming Southern Lord debut), but its riffs have all the balls of High on Fire matched with the aural heft of Torche, so it’s cool by me. Speaking of Black Cobra and Torche, when I was visiting Los Angeles in 2006 and happened to catch the two bands teamed up for a gig at a shoe museum, of all places, it was one of the heaviest shows I’ve ever seen.

That’s right, one of the heaviest shows I’ve ever seen. At a shoe museum. Sometimes you just feel like life is making fun of you.
