Carmine Appice Resurrects King Kobra

The band will release a new self-titled album on April 15th in Europe and May 5th in North America.

"This album captures all the great points we had in the 80's, but better" says Carmine Appice "The music is more traditional King Kobra music. Great lyrics, kick ass songs with cool hooks and really good playing. A really great hard rock/metal record with lots of energy".

David Michael-Phillips adds "It truly is an all-star album. Paul Shortino is amazing! I can honestly say he is one of the best vocalists in the business along with being one of the nicest and most generous people I have ever met".

The band is planning to get on some targeted American and European summer festivals this year. The year 2010 saw the band reunite the original classic '85 lineup, replacing original singer Mark Free (now Marcie Free) with veteran lead vocalist Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot).
