Cobra Spell - Announce Line Up Changes


Cobra Spell have revealed major changes to their line-up. They've parted ways with three members: vocalist Alexx Panza, guitarist Esmée van Sinderen, and drummer Léonard Cakolli. Kristina Vega has been selected as the new full time singer, Anna Voloshyna will fill in the guitarist position for the upcoming shows while Léonard Cakolli will stay as drummer for these shows only.

The band comments on vocalist changes: "With a very heavy heart we want to announce that Alexx Panza will be parting ways with Cobra Spell. You may already saw it coming, since we have been performing with a different singer (Kristina Vega) on the latest shows. Alexx is an incredibly talented singer and a fantastic friend to us, and we love him terribly! He has been there since the beginning. Since Cobra Spell recently became the main priority for the majority of the band, and Alexx can not commit to the current needs of the band, it is the best decision for both parties to split ways. We thank Alexx deeply for the amazing work he delivered in the band, being part of our 2 EP's Love Venom & Anthems Of The Night, and for being an awesome as hell falsetto singing maniac, delivering the best of vocal melodies!"

Alexx states: "Unfortunately, due to force majeure I can't continue being Cobra Spell singer. I can't escape the fact that a day only has 24h and a week 7 days only, and having a daily job and being in two other bands doesn't leave me enough time that a band like Cobra Spell, with a tight schedule ahead, would deserve. I wish the best of luck to my mates in the Cobra Spell camp and to their new talented singer Kris. Thanking all of you who supported me so far, I invite you to keep following me with my other bands Jack Starr's Burning Starr, and my main band Hitten, where I'll keep channelling all my efforts to deliver you the best Hard'n'Heavy your fine ears deserves. And don't forget to ROCK UNTIL YOU DROP!"

Statement from Cobra Spell on the new singer Kristina: "We want to introduce you our new front vixen and singer; Kristina Vega! After learning all of our songs in less than a week, stepping in on our latest tour straight away and delivering nothing but the very best; excellent vocals, mind-blowing performance and pure companionship. We are extremely thankful, lucky and proud to have her in our band. She really completes the band and is exactly the person we needed in the line-up.Kristina has a wide range when it comes to her singing style and a really fresh understanding in melody, which will offer us a lot of cool new options for the future Cobra Spell music, this truly excites us a LOT! Kristina has years of experience both on stage and in the studio and she is a fully-booked metal vocal coach in Barcelona, Spain."

Kristina adds: "Thank you Cobra Spell for trusting me for this position as singer! For me it’s a huge privilege sharing the stage with these impressive talented musicians. I think the band is incredible and I am sure that I can bring in what the band needs. I really feel like I fit in the band, like it was meant to be. We are ready to take over the world! Yeahh!"





Band statement about other line up changes: "We announce that we are parting ways with rhythm guitarist Esmée van Sinderen, and - mutually agreed with him - part ways with drummer Léonard Cakolli. This decision was taken due to personal indifferences. Their vision does not align to the band’s and the speed rate that the band is evolving. Being part of a band that just started to grow very fast requires a certain amount of effort, time and sacrifice that not everyone can offer/give with their own priorities and job. Therefor we are obliged to take this decision for the well-being and workflow of the band.

We wish them the best in the personal projects and future endeavours and thank them deeply for being part of our epic journey so far! Very big opportunities are coming into our path, and this means. Cobra Spell needs to have a a strong and stable line-up for what is coming. As we mentioned, Cobra Spell has just started taking off, and all of us in the band are giving 110% of our energy and input to bring this band to the next level. We all share this musical dream and we want to reach it all together. Therefor we are more than ready to bring stability in the band and find 2 new sisters that want to be part of our rocking crew! We are currently looking for a female rhythm guitarist and drummer that share the same passion and mentality to make it far. Are you the one?! Contact us here: cobraspell@gmail.com."
