Cobalt “Eater of Birds” (Profound Lore)

“Eater of Birds is the album that really saw Cobalt come into their own. War Metal, their first full length, was a good display of musicianship, but didn’t really push any boundaries of what black metal can be. With Eater of Birds, Cobalt deviates from the formula, creating something truly original. Over the period of two years, Cobalt have completely reinvented their sound. What makes this feat even more impressive is that Cobalt is unable to practice regularly because vocalist Phil McSorley serves in the military.”–Metal Archives
