Background information about 'Scalding Coldness'

From the frozen wastelands of Murmansk comes a masterpiece that bridges the gap between primitive savagery and refined darkness. Old Wainds delivers their most polished yet uncompromising statement with "Scalding Coldness", an album that proves evolution doesn't mean abandonment of core principles. While some purists initially questioned the cleaner production, this third full-length reveals itself as a natural progression from "Religion of Spiritual Violence", showcasing the band's ability to craft memorable compositions without sacrificing their signature brutality.

The eight tracks spanning over 40 minutes demonstrate Old Wainds' mastery of atmospheric black metal, where melody serves the darkness rather than diluting it. The professional studio treatment allows every nuance of their arctic fury to breathe, creating a listening experience that's both immediate and enduring. Remastered by Jack Control and Maor Appelbaum at Enormous Door, this reissue presents the album in its definitive form, complete with restored layout that honors the band's visual aesthetic. This is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of Russian black metal.

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