"Strange rays in Nebula V"
The sensors could barely interpret it.
It was as if Nebula V itself had whispered a secret to the void,
a fracture of impossible light, suspended between dimensions.
Some believed it was the remnant of an extinct civilization.
Others, signs of life we’ve yet to understand.
But I know what I saw:
a gaze —not human— behind the glow,
watching us from beyond the plasma and time.
They weren’t rays.
They were a message.
(Richard and Sira)

Berlin-based music producer and sound engineer Thomas Geiger who worked with international acts like Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gotthard, Saxon and Hammerfall - to name a few - remixed three DIAMOND KOBRA tracks from the latest album "Return of the Starbeast" feat. Chris Amott (Dark Tranquility), Phil Soussan (Ex- Ozzy Osbourne, now Last in Line) and Joey Concepcion (ex-Sanctuary).
The songs got some extra punches and dynamics, even they already kicked hard on the album. Pure instrumental and atmospheric science-fiction Darksynth filmmusic with a Progressive Metal twist.
Presave now!

"Following Nastya's disappearance, Gus, Glorianna, and I decided to do our 'Battle of the Bands' photos as a trio. Our group is a BDSM-darksynth band named after a line Catalina Morace said in Sabrina's Star School 2: V For Vindiesel! We all dressed up in our favorite BDSM get-ups for this gig. We were very inspired by bands like Hatari, but also wanted an eighties-inspired darksynth aesthetic. Our album name is a tribute to one of our mentors, Lark Hayward. Our album sleeve is worn-out and dusty, as if you found it while cleaning out your dead uncle's attic."
All in all, I am so proud of these photos. I really want to thank Tropico and Gryph for being amazing teammates. In eleven years of participating in doll competitions, I have never done a group photo. Thank you both for making this a great experience!

"Why do one picture when we can do two? To support our debut album, V For Vindiesel embarked on 'The Darling Division Tour', named after our other mentor Casper Darling. The logo to our tour is inspired by a division sign because, you know, Darling Division. Here we are performing our hit song, 'Cheese Grater Boochie'!"

WE ARE DIAMOND FUCKIN’ KOBRA
Back in 1984 Elin & Emeli-Sofi Lundin from Sweden started a band they named Diamond Kobra.
As they had no recording equipment, they tried to figure out a way to get their music on tape. One night they had the chance to get into the Nightingale Studios for small money after the session of another group.
They jammed the whole night and recorded a demo tape. Unfortunately a week later the studio was destroyed by a winter storm. It was rebuilt the same year by a new owner and the demo went into a provisional archive with the other remaining material from the studio.
In 2017, 34 years later, Rögnvaldr Nyström bought the studio and found the Diamond Kobra demotracks. He remembered the last name on the tape: Lundin and asked his friend Otto Løfgren, who had married a woman from the Lundin family. It turned out his wife Ida was the aunt of the girls. Løfgren is a talented programmer and tech nerd and his friend Bjørn Bors Baconsson has a studio with a tape machine. As they heard the Diamond Kobra tape they knew they had to make an album out of it. It sounded like pure joy from the ’80s. They teamed up with their friends and fellow musicians to bring the music back to life and make an album out of it.
The sound from the 1984 recordings was great electronical music that had its own beautiful sound. It was time to add more vicious synthesizers and ripping guitars to blend it all into what Diamond Kobra does best:
High-Voltage Darksynth
Baconsson, who comes from a film scoring background, wrote a story for the album. A vision about a far future in which each song is one chapter of a novel. The characters and their story came together in the concept album which also contains soundtrack elements.
The project began in early 2018 when recordings started in Sweden, Denmark, Germany and England. Løfgren and Baconsson were extremely happy when outstanding musicians like Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian, JM of Psychopunch, K.D. Johansen of Supercharger and the famous Amott Brothers (Michael & Chris Amott) joined for the album production.
The cover artwork was done by well-known movie poster artist Tom Hodge of The Dude Designs. A complete graphic novel is already in the making, too. Just like the sequel to the first album.
DIAMOND KOBRA delivers the new single hymn „Rise of the Legion“ with guitar wizard Frank Pané (Bonfire, Sainted Sinners) on guitars - the first track of their next album. Multi instrumentalist Tommy Geiger (ex-Palast) plays the bass guitar on this futuristic 1980s Heavy Metal track with strong Savatage and Crimson Glory influences.
Otto Løfgren says:
„The new track is rooted in Dark Synthwave but is basically an epic heavy metal hymn with strong metal guitars. We are very happy about the fact we now have kind of a band structure with Frank and Tommy. Frank contacted us after the release of „Return of the Starbeast“ as he really digs our first two albums.
So we just tried to work on a track together and it was a perfect match directly from the start. Frank already plays on 4-5 new tracks now and it’s a pleasure that we found each other. In addition to this Tommy Geiger (who is also our producer - beside his work with Blind Guardian, Halloween, Saxon and so on) is giving a lot of input with different instruments like keyboards and bass guitar.
And he just has the vision how our style of music has to sound like. Massive and epic. He’s a real professional and both guys are lifting the sound of DIAMOND KOBRA to the next level. Artwork wise we are going into a more realistic direction, more into the high-end rendering video game graphic style like in Cyberpunk 2077. We found a great artist from Italy, so the „Legend“ single artwork shows his first work for as: a 1967 Chevy Camaro in a futuristic night life scene.“

Berlin-based music producer and sound engineer Thomas Geiger who worked with international acts like Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gotthard, Saxon and Hammerfall - to name a few - remixed three DIAMOND KOBRA tracks from the latest album "Return of the Starbeast" feat. Chris Amott (Dark Tranquility), Phil Soussan (Ex- Ozzy Osbourne, now Last in Line) and Joey Concepcion (ex-Sanctuary).
The songs got some extra punches and dynamics, even they already kicked hard on the album. Pure instrumental and atmospheric science-fiction Darksynth filmmusic with a Progressive Metal twist.
Presave now!
DIAMOND KOBRA delivers the new single hymn „Rise of the Legion“ with guitar wizard Frank Pané (Bonfire, Sainted Sinners) on guitars - the first track of their next album. Multi instrumentalist Tommy Geiger (ex-Palast) plays the bass guitar on this futuristic 1980s Heavy Metal track with strong Savatage and Crimson Glory influences.
Otto Løfgren says:
„The new track is rooted in Dark Synthwave but is basically an epic heavy metal hymn with strong metal guitars. We are very happy about the fact we now have kind of a band structure with Frank and Tommy. Frank contacted us after the release of „Return of the Starbeast“ as he really digs our first two albums.
So we just tried to work on a track together and it was a perfect match directly from the start. Frank already plays on 4-5 new tracks now and it’s a pleasure that we found each other. In addition to this Tommy Geiger (who is also our producer - beside his work with Blind Guardian, Halloween, Saxon and so on) is giving a lot of input with different instruments like keyboards and bass guitar.
And he just has the vision how our style of music has to sound like. Massive and epic. He’s a real professional and both guys are lifting the sound of DIAMOND KOBRA to the next level. Artwork wise we are going into a more realistic direction, more into the high-end rendering video game graphic style like in Cyberpunk 2077. We found a great artist from Italy, so the „Legend“ single artwork shows his first work for as: a 1967 Chevy Camaro in a futuristic night life scene.“

B.B. Baconsson - Keys & Synthesizers

WE ARE DIAMOND FUCKIN’ KOBRA
Back in 1984 Elin & Emeli-Sofi Lundin from Sweden started a band they named Diamond Kobra.
As they had no recording equipment, they tried to figure out a way to get their music on tape. One night they had the chance to get into the Nightingale Studios for small money after the session of another group.
They jammed the whole night and recorded a demo tape. Unfortunately a week later the studio was destroyed by a winter storm. It was rebuilt the same year by a new owner and the demo went into a provisional archive with the other remaining material from the studio.
In 2017, 34 years later, Rögnvaldr Nyström bought the studio and found the Diamond Kobra demotracks. He remembered the last name on the tape: Lundin and asked his friend Otto Løfgren, who had married a woman from the Lundin family. It turned out his wife Ida was the aunt of the girls. Løfgren is a talented programmer and tech nerd and his friend Bjørn Bors Baconsson has a studio with a tape machine. As they heard the Diamond Kobra tape they knew they had to make an album out of it. It sounded like pure joy from the ’80s. They teamed up with their friends and fellow musicians to bring the music back to life and make an album out of it.
The sound from the 1984 recordings was great electronical music that had its own beautiful sound. It was time to add more vicious synthesizers and ripping guitars to blend it all into what Diamond Kobra does best:
High-Voltage Darksynth
Baconsson, who comes from a film scoring background, wrote a story for the album. A vision about a far future in which each song is one chapter of a novel. The characters and their story came together in the concept album which also contains soundtrack elements.
The project began in early 2018 when recordings started in Sweden, Denmark, Germany and England. Løfgren and Baconsson were extremely happy when outstanding musicians like Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian, JM of Psychopunch, K.D. Johansen of Supercharger and the famous Amott Brothers (Michael & Chris Amott) joined for the album production.
The cover artwork was done by well-known movie poster artist Tom Hodge of The Dude Designs. A complete graphic novel is already in the making, too. Just like the sequel to the first album.
The journey has finally arrived at its destination:
Diamond Kobras first album “The Arrival”.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Psalm 24:9 King James Version
Carpenter Brut, de son vrai nom Franck Hueso, est un artiste de musique électronique français originaire de Poitiers.
Son œuvre emprunte principalement aux styles metal et synthwave. L'artiste est considéré comme fer de lance du sous-genre musical Darksynth, genre s'inspirant de sonorité sombres, du metal et de musiques de films d'horreur.
