Kobra And The Lotus guitarist Jasio Kulakowski recently checked in with the following update:

"Hey guys! Our new single '50 Shades Of Evil' dropped on iTunes today. If you buy it, you'll get two bonus tracks; one is on the Japanese-only release 'Calm Before The Storm', and the other is an acoustic cover of DIO's 'Rainbow In The Dark', which I had the pleasure of producing and mixing! Hook yourself up, we really appreciate the support."
