King Kobra was founded by drummer Carmine Appice, the band consisted of four relatively unknown musicians: vocalist Mark Free, guitarist David Michael-Philips, guitarist Mick Sweda, and bassist Johnny Rod. After two albums on Capitol Records, Ready to Strike (1985), Thrill of a Lifetime (1986), and the independent release King Kobra III in 1988 they disbanded until returning in 2010 with Paul Shortino (Rough Cut) taking over vocal duties.


Recorded in 2016 at the Sweden Rock Festival this album features original members Carmine Appice, Johnny Rod, David Michael Phillips (David Henzerling), and vocalist Paul Shortino. Filling in for Mick Sweda was Jordan Ziff (Ratt) on lead guitar. This new digital Deluxe Edition release has been fully re-mastered and now captures the band's entire electrifying set, including the new bonus tracks “Monsters and Heroes”, "Iron Eagle (Never Say Die)” and “Runnin Wild”.




Carmine Appice had this to say about the newly re-mastered and expanded release,

“Playing Sweden Rock Festival with King Kobra was a great experience. The band was excellent that night. Jordon our new member was extraordinary that night. The audience's reaction was magic. Paul Shortino killed it. It’s great to hear the show in its entirety, it was a great night of KK rock!!“

Also coming up from this new partnership will be the Deluxe Edition of the 2010 self-titled King Kobra release due out digitally on August 13th. This will include two bonus tracks, the original studio version of “Monster and Heroes” and the Japanese only bonus track “Red Flags”.
