THE COLD release new CD "Last Embrace"

The band from Frankfurt was founded in 1997 as a quartet, initially
featuring an unconventional interpretation of traditional New Wave Music
from the early 80's.
With the first Demo CD, today's five-member line-up joined forces and
their repertoire was completely replaced by their own songs. Ever since
the band members are:
Uwe Liebscher (vocals, guitar), Alexander Meister (bass), Timo Schardt
(keyboards), Robby Lehmann (drums), Torsten Köhler (guitar).

Bands like Joy Division, The Cure, Editors or Chameleons have an
important influence on the band.
After countless performances and compilation features (Dark Awakening,
Pagan Love Songs, Strobelight) a second Demo CD was recorded and The
Cold applied with numerous record labels for a record deal.
The Cold became acquainted to a wider audience through numerous support
gigs for international bands like Faith & the Muse, The Mission, Pink
Turns Blue, Diva Destruction, Cruexshadows, Sex Gang Children, Cinema
Strange and a few festival performances at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, M'era
Luna, Cry for Happiness and Herbstnächte.

From a very early start The
Cold were supported by a great number of Scene DJ's and fans. Especially
the coorporation with the concert agency “Motherdance” provided The Cold
with large opportunities.
Their album “After All” was published in 2004 under the label Sonorium
that in fact made it into the German Alternative Charts for five weeks.
For their début album The Cold collaborated with Monica Richards and
William Faith (Faith & the Muse) for the song “Summernight” and the
legendary Andi Sexgang (Sex Gang Children) for the song “World came
Down”. The song “Summernight” became a floor filler in no-time.
After a long tour through France, Holland, Belgium and Lithuania in
2008, The Cold started working on their second album.


The Cold signed a record deal with the prestigious independent label
Dark Dimensions in 2009. The new album with the title “Last Embrace”
will be released for the first time at the Gothic Pogo Festival on the
fly with the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in May 2009. (Unless we are facing
Armageddon).
The Cold consequently continues with their musical enthusiasm with “Last
Embrace”. Wave, Pop, Post Rock compose into a blend that can not be
found often, nowadays. Melancholia and Anger, dance ability and gloom
lie close together in the new The Cold Album.
