Kobra And The Lotus will tour in support of the WORDS OF THE PROPHETS EP in the United States in August; please see below for the current itinerary, with more dates to be added.  Due out on August 28th, the WORDS OF THE PROPHETS EP (Titan Music) features cover songs by great Canadian artists (see below for the track listing); it was produced by the Grammy-nominated Johnny K (Megadeth, Disturbed, Three Doors Down).

The EP can be pre-ordered now here; fans who purchase WORDS OF THE PROPHETS now will receive "Black Velvet" as an instant gratification track.

Known for supporting legendary bands KISS and Def Leppard on KISS' massive 40th Anniversary North American tour last summer, Canada's explosive hard rockers Kobra and The Lotus' most recent album, HIGH PRIESTESS (Titan Music), was also produced by Johnny K and delivers a blend of fiery vocals (courtesy of lead singer Kobra Paige), heavy riff-laden melodies and ferocious musicianship.  Of the album, Decibel Magazine.com declared it "a stunning slab of beating, bleeding traditional metal heart and unadulterated bombast refracted and heightened through a dynamic prism of those very things that are actually right with modern metal."  To check out the powerful video for the track "Soldier", please click here.

Led by frontwoman, the classically-trained vocal powerhouse and Calgary native, Kobra Paige, Kobra And The Lotus have been making a name for themselves worldwide with extensive touring and two well-received albums.  Kobra And The Lotus have already played the main stage at such massive European festivals as the UK's Download, Sonisphere (Spain), Hellfest (France), Gods Of Metal (Italy), Bloodstock (UK) and more.  The band has also supported the likes of Judas Priest on tour.  Of Kobra And The Lotus, Classic Rock Magazine avowed, "Kobra And The Lotus are a fire-breathing, female-fronted heavy metal bombshell..."
