 | | Description: | Die Folk-Pagan-Metal-Instanz ARKONA kehrt zurĂŒck und prĂ€sentiert ihr neuntes Album Kobâ??, das
via Napalm Records erscheint. Ein weiteres Mal tauchen die Musiker in die Philosophien
und Zukunftsansichten von SĂ€ngerin Masha ab und rĂŒcken die moderne Gesellschaft in den thematischen
Fokus.
Seit der Veröffentlichung ihres letzten Albums Khram (2018) haben ARKONA aufmerksam das Weltgeschehen
verfolgt und spiegeln auf den acht neuen Tracks jeweils ein Problem der modernen Gesellschaft
als auch den Abstieg in die Hölle wider.
â??Kobâ??â?? (DE: Die Zauberei) grĂ€bt die lĂ€ngst vergessene Vergangenheit aus. Melodische Synthie-Einstreuungen
und bedrohliche Gitarrenspiele untermalen die Aussage des Songs, dass die Menschheit nicht aus den Fehlern
der Geschichte gelernt hat sondern in einem Teufelskreis steckt und besagte Fehler immer wieder erneut
begeht. Auf â?Razryvaya plotâ?? ot bezyskhodnosti bytiyaâ? (was im Deutschen so viel heiĂ?t wie: Einer
hoffnungslosen Existenz das Fleisch vom Knochen reiĂ?en) gibt sich SĂ€ngerin Masha einem emotionale
Keyboard-Solo hin, das BÀnde spricht. Kriege, religiöse �berzeugungen und Umweltprobleme lÀuten die
letzten Stunden ein wÀhrend nachdenkliche Flöten- und akustische Gitarreneinlagen das letzte bisschen
Vernunft ausdiskutieren. Obgleich Kobâ?? tief im Pagan Metal der frĂŒhen Tage verwurzelt ist, richtet es sich
durch seine moderne Produktion und DiversitÀt nicht nur an langjÀhrige Fans, sondern gleicherma�en an
neue Zielgruppen. - Limited to 300 copies
Packaged in wooden box containing:
- 6-panel digisleeve. Includes 20-page with lyrics in English.
- A flag (70 x 100 cm)
- A pendant
- A patch
- 6 collectors card

Recorded at CDM-Records studio"Kob'" on CD is a powerful release by the Russian pagan/folk metal band Arkona, presented here by the renowned metal label Napalm Records. With this album, Arkona once again blend furious blackened pagan metal with epic folk melodies, thunderous percussion, and majestic choral parts. Massive riffs, dynamic tempo changes, and the characteristic interplay between harsh and clean vocals create a dense, ritualistic atmosphere that moves between raw aggression and grand, cinematic passages. Lyrically, Arkona are known for drawing on Slavic mythology, pagan spirituality, and nature mysticism, giving the songs a deep, archaic feel that goes far beyond standard genre clichés. The production emphasizes both the brute force of the guitars and drums and the detailed folk instrumentation, allowing flutes, traditional instruments, and choral layers to shine without losing the overall heaviness. "Kob'" is aimed at listeners who appreciate complex, atmospheric metal with cultural and spiritual depth and who like albums that unfold as a cohesive journey rather than just a collection of songs.
Arkona have long established themselves as one of the most important bands in the pagan/folk metal scene. Their earlier albums and extensive touring have earned them an international cult following, festival appearances across Europe, and a solid reputation for intense, ritual-like live performances. Over the years, Arkona have developed from an underground insider tip into a band that regularly appears on the lineups of major metal festivals and in the playlists of fans of pagan and folk-infused extreme metal. Their discography shows a continuous evolution from raw beginnings to ever more sophisticated arrangements, without losing the primal energy that made them unique in the first place. With "Kob'", the band once again underline why they are considered a benchmark within their genre: musically ambitious, atmospherically dense, and unmistakably rooted in their cultural heritage.
Napalm Records, the label behind this release, is one of the best-known international labels for rock and metal. Founded in Austria, Napalm Records has built a strong reputation for discovering, supporting, and globally promoting bands from a wide range of heavy music styles--from folk and pagan metal to symphonic metal, doom, and modern rock. Their catalogue includes numerous scene favorites and charting acts, and the label is respected for professional production standards, carefully curated signings, and a worldwide distribution network that brings niche genres to a broad audience. By releasing "Kob'" on CD, Napalm Records ensure that this album appears in a high-quality physical edition that appeals both to long-time fans and to collectors who appreciate elaborately produced metal releases.
Whether you are already familiar with Arkona's previous work or are discovering the band for the first time, this CD edition of "Kob'" offers an intense listening experience that thrives on contrast: brutal yet melodic, modern yet deeply connected to ancient traditions. Housed in a classic CD format, it is ideal for fans who value a tangible sound carrier and want to experience the album with full sound quality, artwork, and booklet. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
