Cobra the Impaler and Hippotraktor: Uniting for the Serpent & Colossus UK Tour

In April 2025, Belgium’s progressive metal scenes are going to get fully ablated as Cobra the Impaler and Hippotraktor team up on the highly-anticipated Serpent & Colossus UK Tour. Mighty riffs, labyrinthine melodies, and sheer energy will be assured for the witnesses of this musical endeavour throughout the United Kingdom.

This makes The Serpent & Colossus UK Tour another milestone in the careers of both bands-underlining the considerable depth and imagination that exists within Belgium’s dynamic Progressive Metal landscape. Sweeping across five cities, the tour will bring with it an unforgettable evening of progressive metal greatness every time out. They can expect the perfect blend of styles where the distinctive sound of each band comes together in electric harmony.

With high-octane performances, and a peculiar mix of thrash-inspired riffs with epic vocals, Cobra the Impaler is in a state of continuous rise within the global metal landscape. Following up on the last critically acclaimed album, Karma Collision, and an upcoming tour supporting Katatonia in 2024, they will seal their status as one of the emergent new, heavy talents across the European continent.
