Anders Martinsgård joined the band on guitar in January 2019 as the last piece of the puzzle.
COBRA CULT is an intense live performance band who have toured throughout Sweden, Germany, England and Norway. Their performance at Sweden Rock Festival in 2019 has been the greatest live achievement for the band to date. They have shared stages with bands like VA Rocks, Electric Hydra, The Sewergrooves, and Horndal. The band has worked with Swedish musical legend Tomas Skogsberg (Sunlight studio), Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust), and Robert Pehrsson (Robert Pehrsson’s Humbucker, Death Breath) amongst others.

Their variation in musical background, influences and experience makes the combination interesting and delivers a unique result.
