Darken Days
Darken Days is a 1 hour, 55 minute long album by King Cobra. It was published to iTunes on December 30th, 2010.
Background and Production
After the mediocre response to Blood Cemetery, Josh set to work on his next album in spite of the Troles. Like his debut album, the run-up involved posting picture of his album cover to his Facebook page to drum up excitement for his next album.
Music and Lyrics
While his style remains unevolved from Blood Cemetery, Josh discovered how to mix his audio to make the vocals slightly louder, although it's hard to tell if this was intentional. However, this album shows a greater focus on given topics - For example, his first track “My Mom Lora” has a curious amount of detail about what may or may not be his home life with his biological mother, Lora. Other topics include the holocaust(Bones in the Ashs) and his Cult of Cobra tattoo that doesn't look like a dick(My Simble).

Reception and Criticism
Critical reception, like much of Cobra's art, was generally poor. It has been described as incoherent ranting, and is seen as lacking a clear musical direction. However, it still stands out as a notable achievement for Cobra, whose general disorganization makes any kind of coherent project extremely difficult.
