*£2 CHEAPER DUE TO DAMAGED SLEEVES*
Pure and hard, that's what rock craves. The clattering of tough boots on worn gravel, guitars held high amidst thick smoke, snooker games where no one sinks the black, and over 666 beers spilled fraternally between body, floor, and counter, like the holiest of trinities, three elements of the same substance, of the same substances, for if the counter can bear the weight of the body, the body can endure the floor, there's no other choice.
Emerging at the peak of the pandemic, Cobrafuma is a troupe of Porto proto-veterans who heeded the Cobra's call amidst sketchy malls, bars with sticky floors, incarcerated by the damp rock wool that shields the outskirts.
In this first eponymous brawl, the sound is tough as steel and brimming with venom, slithering between genres that answer to no one: punk, thrash, and rock 'n' roll, hissed in Portuguese and liberally drenched in unlabeled firewater brandy, to shake your helmet as if there were no tomorrow.
