Overview
Cobalt Rasender is the lead singer, songwriter, and bassist (Fame: 2) for well-known metal band Mired, currently on the Nuclear Blast label. The band's been around with fairly minimal change in lineup since the mid-90s, save for a brief hiatus a few years ago. Hardcore metalheads would definitely recognize him. He coined the term "mired metal" to describe the band's particular blend of doom, death, symphonic, gothic, thrash and other styles. His singing style is part death metal growl, part baritone balladier, with an impressive range. The band's music is dark, dramatic and love-and-death-focused but very brutal, inspiring acts of violence and suicide attempts at their shows and rumors of necromancy and Satanism from Cobalt and the band members. Since Cobalt returned from his Durance a few years ago, the music and his concerts have become louder, scarier, more violent, and crazier than ever, not to mention popular with certain kinds of Lost who enjoy using his concerts to harvest Glamour of all sorts.
No one really knows why Cobalt is in Vermont, or why he joined the Fate's Harvest Freehold -- but he did. A fairly Influential member of the Summer Court, he has a reputation for predictable unpredictability and violent mood swings -- not to mention a towering ego. Plus, he looks like a g*ddamn demon. You don't get much more metal than that.
