(am #StormCrusher #Festival)

Ihr habt zwei Wochen lang nix von mir gehört; ich war im Urlaub abgetaucht und habe Social Media weitgehend ignoriert. Die Welt wurde ja auch nicht besser in der Zwischenzeit…

Nun aber stehen wir beim #StormCrusher #Festival auf dem Campground mit Dalmatinerschinken und kroatischem Bier und freuen uns Mega auf das Warmup heute Abend u.a. mit #IronKobra und #Zerre! — besser kann man seinen Urlaub nicht abschließen, finde ich.

Für alle, die Interesse an einem einstündigen Interview mit Ela & Steffen haben, haben wir hier ein besonderes Schmankerl: wir hatten bei RADIO BLAU die Ehre, über unser neues Album, die Szene und alles andere zu reden #radio #IronKobra #HeavyMetal https://www.radioblau.de/sendung/nightfall-203/

Das Plattenpaket ist endlich angekommen und es wird nun höchste Zeit, sich dem neuen Album „Eternal Dagger“ zu widmen:

#IronKobra verkörpern die Essenz des Heavy Metal — und dieses Album beweist das erneut auf eindrückliche Weise!
Wieder einen Song in deutscher Sprache mit auf‘s Album zu packen und damit die Ost-„Heavies“ zu ehren, ist eine feine Sache und echter Heavy Metal Spirit. Durch und durch geile Platte!

The year was 2008. The place is Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Four brave souls were about to form Iron Kobra. Yearning for an era with less sheen and more grit, the band honed their craft with early demo Cult of the Snake and EP Battlesword. Their debut full-length, Dungeon Masters, wouldn’t descend upon the masses until 2012. While a little rough, it showed promise and ambition; the band clearly understood the fundamentals of hard rock and classic heavy metal. 2015 would see them return with Might & Magic, a higher-octane affair with tighter musicianship. But for a single here and there, Iron Kobra has remained quiet in the 11 years since. The metal snake returns now in 2026, promising louder, faster, and better.

I’m gonna do this review a little backward, starting with my chief complaint. Eternal Dagger feels more like a playlist than an album. There’s awesome musicianship and band cohesion on display here—the call and response antics of “Trembling Dungeons,” the stair-stepped riffs of “Fliehen,” the band’s perfect punctuation of Ela’s lyrics on “Forbidden Fruits,” Matze’s bass carrying the melody through the end of “Silver Strings and Iron Wings”—but nothing really ties these tracks together. It’s all undeniably the work of Iron Kobra, but the band careens—quite competently, at least—from searing speed metal (“Unchained & Untamed”) to Priestly NWoBHM (“Shibuya Nights”) to epic heavy metal (“Mountains of Madness”), making the album feel a bit unfocused. The great part about a criticism like this is that it has absolutely no bearing on how fucking hard these Germans rip.

From the first moments of “Trembling Dungeons”—a trash can opening, a sick divebomb, and soaring cleans—it’s clear Iron Kobra came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and they’re all out of bubblegum.1 Eternal Dagger is a rager written for all those who still blast Saxon on the reg. Whether burning barns (“Forbidden Fruits,” “Treacherous Tyrant”) or stomping out anthemic bangers, Iron Kobra plays with wanton abandon. This riotous and free energy never lets up, largely thanks to drummer Bjӧrn, even when the tempo drops a gear. “Silver Strings and Iron Wings” takes me back to Di’Anno-era Maiden, and “Trembling Dungeons” could’ve been an Angel Witch b-side. “Eternal Dagger” ventures into progressive territory, and although it doesn’t quite stick the landing and ends a little awkwardly, it’s intriguing, and I’d like to see them explore this narrative style more on future releases.

Eternal Dagger is a vast improvement over Iron Kobra’s back catalog, most notably stemming from its superior production. Mixed and mastered by Stefan Castevet, Eternal Dagger feels full and fleshed out. Bjӧrn’s kick drum moves some serious air, and Matze’s bass sounds absolutely incredible. It’s lush, vibrant, and responsible for some of my favorite moments on Eternal Dagger (“Shibuya Nights,” “Silver Strings,” “Unchained & Untamed”). The other major improvement of Eternal Dagger is the band’s synergy. While previous efforts felt like four talented musicians playing together, Eternal Dagger feels far more cohesive. This is best shown in the way lead guitarist Steffen dances beautifully around Ela’s rhythm guitars like variations on a theme. His leads and solos always feel like an extension of the rhythm section, rather than a standalone element (“Trembling Dungeons,” “Forbidden Fruits,” “Treacherous Tyrant”). Licks and fills from every member of Iron Kobra decorate the larger compositions, and as a result, Eternal Dagger feels like the work of a band at the top of their game.

Iron Kobra has got the goods. Front to back, Eternal Dagger is infectious and riotously fun. Whether you wanna howl at the sky while driving a bit too fast down the highway or pump your fist and bang your head in a crowd of sweaty, late-middle-aged men, Iron Kobra will get you there. I do wish Eternal Dagger had a more singular identity, but at the end of the day, I still had a blast working with this album over the past couple weeks. Unless you won’t settle for anything less than earth-shattering and paradigm-shifting masterpieces, Eternal Dagger will give you a sore neck and some involuntary stank face just fine.

DRÖÖHN DES TAGES

Hallo, hier ein Ausschnitt aus den Fanzineschreibenprozess zum Metalmittwoch.

Eternal Dagger heißt die neue Scheibe der Heavy Metal Band Iron Kobra aus Gelsenkirchen.
Kommt am Freitag raus.
Hier können Metalheads, Rocker und True Metaller ( wenn die auf Mastodon rumeiern ) ein Öhrchen riskieren.
https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2026/06/15/full-album-stream-iron-kobra-eternal-dagger/
Halleluja.

Die nächsten Ausgaben des EVERYDAY METALHEAD ZINE haben die Schwerpunkte Thrash und Modern Metal, da passen die Ruhrpottler garnicht rein.
Aber die Doppelseite ist in einen der folgenden Zines reserviert.

Jetzt könnt ihr reinlesen.
Oh geil, doppelte Werbung

Iron Kobra – Eternal Dagger

Steffen (G), Ela (V/G), Matze (B) und Björn (D) sind seit 2008 mit ihren Heavy-Metal-Veröffentlichungen unterwegs. Die Jungs leben in Gelsenkirchen und sind echte Metalheads, geboren aus Kohle und Stahl. Ihr neues Album Eternal Dagger wirkt erwachsen und ausgegewogen. Der Eröffnungssong Trembling Dungeons jagt gleich mit großem Heavy-Metal-Kino durch wilde Screams und rasende Gitarren mit Vollgas durch die Boxen. Nummer Zwei auf der Platte, Forbidden Fruits, betört mit einem Maiden-Gedenk-Riff und einem tollen Solo. Shibuya Nights hat einen wunderschönen Aufbau von den Strophen über die Bridge zum Refrain. Kann ich mir live super vorstellen. So haben die folgenden Songs auf Eternal Dagger immer den Hinhöreffekt. Etwa die tollen Riffs, die tollen Chöre oder ein schönes Solo. Ela hat eine tolle Stimme, Punkt. Die anderen Bandmitglieder beherrschen ihre Instrumente. Eternal Dagger ist eine Platte von einer harmonisch gewachsenen Band. Klasse. Hier die Musik anhören, kaufen und nette Sachen schreiben: https://ironkobra.bandcamp.com/music

Drööhn des Tages

Iron Kobra - Eternal Dagger

Jawohl, zu Anfang gleich großes Kino. Die Eröffnungssequenz der neuen Veröffentlichung „Eternal Dagger“ von den Berliner Iron Kobra beginnt mit einem wilden Scream und mit Vollgas voraus. Klasse. Auf Bandcamp ködern die Heavy-Metal-Typen uns gleich mit drei Songs. Metalheads, checkt die Platte und schickt ihnen viel Liebe.
Ach ja Veröffentlichung am 19.6

Yes indeed, a real show right from the start. The opening sequence of the new release "Eternal Dagger" by Berlin's Iron Kobra begins with a wild scream and full throttle. Awesome. On Bandcamp, the heavy metal guys are already tempting us with three tracks. Metalheads, check out the album and send them lots of love.
Release June 19

WANN KOMMT DIE TOUR? 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘

🎸ETERNAL DAGGER AUF DEM DETZE🎸

14 Jahre ist es her, dass wir auf dem großartigen Der Detze Rockt Festival gespielt haben. Und wir kommen natürlich nicht mit leeren Händen, sondern feiern mit euch das Release unseres dritten Albums ETERNAL DAGGER! Wir werden auch einige neue Songs dabei haben, aber natürlich auch ein paar Kobra-Klassiker krädenzen.

ACHTUNG! Wegen der komplett wahnsinnig guten Bekanntgabe, dass Metal Inquisitor auch auftreten, verschiebt sich unser Auftritt leicht nach vorne. Stagetime am Samstag: 16:45! #HeavyMetal #SpeedMetal #ThrashMetal #DetzeRockt #IronKobra #festival

🔥BEWARE OF THE DUNGEON MASTER(S)🔥

June 19 is not only the release day of our third album ETERNAL DAGGER, but finally our debut album DUNGEON MASTERS will finally see its first re-press on vinyl and CD!

For obvious reasons, this album holds a special place in our hearts. It also contains some of the absolute fan favourites like Black Magic Spells, Born under the Tower, or Heavy Metal Generation.

We recorded the album at the legendary Toxomusic Studio in Koblenz, the same place Cruel Force recorded their debut album THE RISE OF SATANIC MIGHT. #HeavyMetal #IronKobra #SpeedMetal #DungeonMasters #CruelForce #metal

⚔DANKE MONHEIM!⚔

Es ist merkwürdig, im Juni sein Livedebüt fürs Jahr zu feiern, aber so ist es halt, wenn man an einem Album arbeitet. Umso größer war die Freude, endlich wieder vor Publikum zu spielen! Tausend Dank an Iron Cult Demonheim und das Sojus 7 für die tolle Organisation, The Neptune Power Federation und Satan's Propaganda für Auftritte mit viel POWER, und natürlich alle Maniakks, die gekommen sind!

WIR SEHEN UNS IN KNAPP ZWEI WOCHEN WIEDER AUF DEM Der Detze Rockt! #HeavyMetal #metal #monheim #IronKobra #SpeedMetal

HEUTE LIVE!

Einlass 19:30, Beginn 20:00

Für Kurzentschlossene lohnt noch der VVK https://sojus.ticket.io/bzyjab4Q/

Falls ihr beim Konzert seid und auf Mastodon davon erfahren habt, besucht uns gern am Merchstand und sagt das. 3/4 der Band hat keinen Plan wovon ihr redet, aber einer freut sich! Es gibt auch metalhead.club Sticker!
