Kobra and the Lotus have undergone a slight shift in sound, as recognized by the title of their forthcoming record, Evolution. Hear what they've got to offer with the new song, "Burn!," below.

The song drifts away from Kobra and the Lotus' metal leanings of past, digging into deep, rolling grooves of modern day hard rock. This platform lets frontwoman Kobra Paige take the spotlight with her dominant set of pipes.

"We’ve never done a record like Evolution. We’ve flown demos over the Internet back and forth or started a few ideas prior to hitting the studio," Paige said of the writing process. "This time, we were all working together in the flesh for the full duration of the writing process. It’s a collision of everything we love. We feel like it’s the freshest and most timeless thing we’ve brought to the table."

Speaking further about the band's shift, she commented, "The new body of work sets the tone for the music going forward. Sonically, it’s still heavy. It highlights the showmanship and maintains the edge. At the same time, it’s approachable. It pays tribute to our influences, but it takes the next step. So, it’s a reintroduction to us and a rebirth. A firm goal was to build a strong identity and update everything. We just want to be Kobra and the Lotus; that’s what we’re doing."

"It’s about all of the reasons you hold yourself back," Paige went on. "You literally need to burn all of those feelings, stories, excuses, and obstacles keeping you from being your own authentic self. It’s super personal. It’s a product of growing and arriving as a person. I’m realizing who I am. It’s symbolic of the rebirth."

Evolution drops on Sept. 20 on Napalm Records. Pre-order your copy here and see the band's upcoming tour dates below.
