Cobras and Fire (The Mastermind Redux) is a redux studio album by the American rock band Monster Magnet, released on October 9, 2015. The album is a reworking of material previously included on their album 2010 Mastermind. It is the band's second release focusing on reworking material from a studio album following their 2014 remix album Milking the Stars: A Re-Imagining of Last Patrol.
In regards to the album, Dave Wyndorf told Blabbermouth:
"With 'Cobras And Fire', I wanted to present these songs in a much stranger and dirtier atmosphere. Less 'classic rock' and more… well, I'd guess I'd call it a deranged fusion of garage-psych, fuzz punk and movie soundtrack music. It's almost completely re-recorded and, as in 'Milking The Stars', I've added organ, piano, sitars and more to flesh out a completely new sound for these tunes."
