Year of the Cobra Announce Tour Dates with Voivod
I’m of the firm belief that when a band tours with Voivod, they should receive some kind of award. It doesn’t have to be anything big or too grand, but even just a special backpatch or a pair of socks that say “I toured with Voivod” on them would be appropriate. It’s an occasion worth marking, in other words. Cred forever in my eyes.
Hard to believe it’s coming on three years since the last Year of the Cobra album, even considering the three years in question. I don’t expect they’ll have a new one by June unless they’re hiding it up their sleeves and the blurb below about working on new material is a misdirection — which why would it be? — so maybe that’ll be in 2023 sometime, or whatever unknown future might follow after that. In the meantime, they’re a touring band, so seeing them get out in a bigger way even than they did last Fall is welcome.
Here they go earning that patch:
YEAR OF THE COBRA joining VOIVOD on tour in NORTH AMERICA
YEAR OF THE COBRA will support VOIVOD on their “Synchro Anarchy Tour 2022” across Canada and the United States in June. This heavy road-trip will kick off at the L’entité in Trois-Rivéres on June 1, and after three more shows in Canada and eleven stations in the US will see the final curtain for this round fall in Boston, MA at the Brighton Music Hall on the 19th of June. Please see below for a list of all currently confirmed dates.
Seattle’s ultra-heavy psychedelic doom duo will be touring in support of their latest album “Ash and Dust” (2019), but YEAR OF THE COBRA are currently also working on new material, which means that you might catch a glimpse on things to come but obviously we cannot promise that for sure.
YEAR OF THE COBRA comment: “We are thrilled to hit the road with the awesome dudes in Voivod”, writes singer and bass player Amy Tung Barrysmith. “Their impact and influence on the heavy metal world can be heard and felt throughout the whole genre. Very few bands stay relevant after decades of touring, recording, and releasing albums, but they continue to be a standout and their new album Synchro Anarchy is proof of that. It’s awesome! This will be our first tour since the pandemic started, and those who know Year of the Cobra are aware that we love to be on the road and to play live. As we have not toured the east coast of the United States or Canada since 2019, we can hardly wait to see you all! We will bring along brand new merch that we have never printed before, which makes our shows your chance to grab some brand new Year of the Cobra gear!”
