Background information about 'Scalding Coldness'

From the frozen wastelands of Murmansk, beyond the Arctic Circle, Old Wainds unleash their third full-length assault with "Scalding Coldness" – a masterclass in barbaric Russian black metal that bridges their savage early works with newfound sonic depth. This isn't just another black metal album; it's a 40-minute journey through the most unforgiving landscapes of human emotion, where hatred crystallizes into art and coldness becomes a weapon of spiritual destruction.

What sets "Scalding Coldness" apart is its perfect balance between brutality and sophistication. While longtime devotees might initially miss the raw savagery of their earlier demos, this album proves that Old Wainds can maintain their distinct mark of hateful coldness even with proper studio production. The eight tracks here showcase proficient composition that never sacrifices the band's core identity for accessibility. Remastered by Jack Control and Maor Appelbaum at Enormous Door, every frozen breath and razor-sharp riff cuts through with pristine clarity while maintaining that essential Arctic bite.

For fans of:
Darkthrone, Immortal, Emperor, Mayhem, Satyricon
