Album Notes
Cold: Scooter Ward (vocals); Terry Balsamo (acoustic & electric guitars); Kelly Hayes (guitar); Jeremy Narshall (bass); Sam McCandless (drums).Recorded at Bay 7 Studios, Valley Village, California and Sparky Dark Studio, Calabasas, California.Like fellow nu-metalers Staind and Nothingface, Cold combines post-Metallica baritone vocals and massive, down-tuned guitars with the sharp pop instincts and brooding melancholy of alternative rock bands like Live and Creed. On the group's third album, YEAR OF THE SPIDER, the Florida-based quintet further explores its angst-ridden side with sweepingly dramatic production and lyrics that often read like the diary of a severely depressed suburban teen. Occasionally sounding like a heavier, slicker, and angrier Pearl Jam, the band eschews the vacuum cleaner-like death metal vocals popular with many of its contemporaries in favor of clearly audible lyrics, strong melodicism and spot-on harmonies. More accessible than the band's previous efforts, yet never lacking in sheer metal power, YEAR OF THE SPIDER delivers enough gut-wrenching minor-key riffs and heartache-filled tunefulness to satisfy a detention room full of both casual rock fans and dour teenage headbangers.
