Since their formation in Cardiff in 2016, Obey Cobra’s journey from underground urchins to challengers for the new psych throne has been one of sonic notoriety.

Building entire empires on motorik kraut rock rhythms, heavy electronica and scything post-punk riffs through fields of progressive noir, their self-titled debut was as much a statement of intent as it was an introduction to the world at large.

Aided and abetted in recent years by Rocket Recordings, their most recent album, Mwg Drwg, was released last May to critical acclaim on the venerable UK-based label. Delivering an industrial dose of melodic unease, it has since lifted the band to new heights and allowed them to watch the world burn below to a soundtrack of brutal and beautiful guitars, drums, and vocal performances. More than capable of holding its own alongside equally far-out releases from artists such as GOAT, Pigs x7, Gnod and Hey Colossus, both live and on record, Mwg Drwg is a transcendent experience.

Not content however with keeping exquisitely loud and experimental company, following support shows and performances alongside the likes of Melt-Banana, Part Chimp, Acid Mothers Temple and TVAM, this November the Welsh quartet step into the abyss with their first tour outside the UK.

“When we first started writing this album, we didn’t think that it would lead take us across Europe,” explains vocalist, Kate Woodward. “But here we are, and we’re beyond excited to share this mind-melding live experience with you as we tour Mwg Drwg across so many different countries.”

For the full list of dates see information below. Mwg Drwg is available now on Rocket Recordings and can be purchased here
