King Kobra to Release ‘We Are Warriors’; First Album in a Decade

The newest album from the critically acclaimed supergroup, King Kobra, is coming out on August 11 via Cleopatra Records. It’s been almost four decades since the mighty King Kobra first burst onto the melodic metal scene. Pulled together by superstar drummer and mastermind Carmine Appice (Cactus, Vanilla Fudge), King Kobra quickly became a worldwide fan favourite with a deadly mix of stellar musicianship, killer metal hooks, and of course, a whole lot of teased-up hair! Now, a new line-up of the band, perhaps their strongest gathering yet, is ready to announce the release of We Are Warriors, the band’s hard-hitting 7th studio album.

The founding member, Appice, is joined once again by longtime bassist Johnny Rod and vocalist Paul Shortino who welcome to the den the newest vipers, Quiet Riot guitarist Carlos Cavazo and former Dio member Rowan Robertson. With these two talented virtuosos aboard, We Are Warriors is bound to be one of the band’s most celebrated albums.

Cavazo declares that the new single “is the anthem of how our lives were in the ‘80s,” while vocalist Shortino looks forward to the release of the entire album, saying “we put a lot of love into this record!” And finally, founder Appice says, “the album has some great moments in playing, singing and songwriting…it meets the standard of KK….it ROCKS!!” The full release of We Are Warriors is set for August 11 and will be available on all digital platforms here, CDs and a silver and black splatter vinyl can be preordered here.
