Rated: *****

Sometimes the weather is so incredibly hot, everything around you seems to self combust... Or it might be that due to that wild music you hear! Sometimes an album comes along that immediately explodes its way into your heart from the first moment you hear it. Cobracadabra is such an album! Cobracadabra is the sound of danger. Of lighting a piece of dynamite and finding out your hand is glued to it. No way of escaping; so, you are hypnotized by that ever-shorter fuse, that sizzling little spark and your impending doom. And even though we love to think that there are many albums that are this explosive, the truth is that there are only a few that will blow you and the world around you to a million little pieces. The three Italians from Supasonic Fuzz deliver an album that marries manic garage to stoner riffs and desert freak outs. It’s a perfect hit and a proper rock ‘n roll battering ram! Detonating drums, swirling guitars deliver as much freakiness as you can handle as well as punch you in the gut whenever they attack with that feverish kamikaze energy. And then there are the vocals, sounding like a savage wild man, making it all turn even more into a gothic, psychotic, rock noir and punkish stonerrock extravaganza, with a menacing atmosphere and an intense bite. The crazy fire burns like molten lava here and we cannot control ourselves, we need to dive in headfirst. And you will not bop to the surface before third track Pork Chop Express begins; and you will only have a minute before it all becomes frantic and frenzied again. Fourth track Echoestorm is their most desert, stonerrock outpouring, and out it pours, with those phantasm like vocals, giving it all once again a deranged vibe. Of course, the closing eleven and half minute long battleship called Black Ivy Ghost also comes along to give you that hard trucking stoner sound. But due to the pause, and the secret voodoo outro at the end, it sort of becomes this spirited unholy incantation, that makes you forget all the dangers you have been exposed to during the past forty-five minutes. Sometimes an album comes along that immediately explodes its way into your heart from the first moment you hear it. Cobracadabra is such an album!
