Kob' (Cyrillic script: Кобь, lit. 'Spell') is the ninth studio album by the Russian heavy metal band Arkona, released on 16 June 2023 through Napalm Records. The songs are about how mankind has tried, and failed, to rise above nature, and is descending in six steps toward self-annihilation. The subjects include spiritual decay, ecological disasters, diseases, the Russo-Ukrainian War, and nuclear warfare. Critics have described it as Arkona's darkest album.
