Canadian heavy metal band Kobra and The Lotus will be releasing a new covers EP titled Words of the Prophets on August 28th. The EP contains covers of a number of hard rock songs by fellow Canadian artists, including their take on Rush's The Spirit of Radio, with the title of the EP being a direct lyrical reference to that song.
