Watch Toundra’s hard-hitting video for Cobra

Toundra have released a hard-hitting video for their new single Cobra.

It’s been lifted from the Spanish outfit’s upcoming fifth studio album Vortex, which will arrive on April 27 via InsideOut/Century Media.

The video, which focuses on the plight of refugees, was created by Jorge Escalona using photographic material from Pulitzer Prize winner Manu Brabo and video from well-known Spanish journalist Gonzo.

Brabo says: “It made me feel really proud to collaborate on this considering how socially responsible the band was being as an artist and communicators.”

Gonzo adds: “The victims in every war is always the innocent, who never starts the war. They lose their lives, their homes and their dreams. Refugees escaping their homelands become ambassadors of the nonsense.”

Toundra say: “With this video we just wanted to shine a light on those who Victor Hugo called Les Miseràbles.”

Toundra will head out on tour across Europe throughout May. Find details below, along with the Vortex cover art and tracklist.
