COLDERA

COLDERA - Melodic speed metal's fastest rising young stars.
Heart-breakingly melodic and as heavy as a ten-ton hammer, COLDERA was born of like-minded musicians seeking to forge their varied influences and immense talents into a metal juggernaut, where the rules of "tradition" are promptly left at the door. After leaving the American extreme power metallers CELLADOR, former lead guitarist Bill Hudson teamed up with up-and-coming Florida-based shredder John Slaughter and set out to do just that; to create a band that combined the catchiness of European melodic metal like Iron Maiden and Helloween with the technique and aggression of thrash and death metal like Death, Testament, and early Sepultura.
Coldera truly embodies the ultimate extreme-melodic metal line-up, bringing together world-class talent from around the globe. Finding a singer who could handle the range of COLDERA 's music was tricky, but Carlos Zema (ex-OUTWORLD) more than handles the demanding vocal work. Drummer Adam Sagan, known for his amazing drumming work with Canadian progressive metallers INTO ETERNITY, brings a dizzying array of styles and influences to COLDERA's sound. Completing this rhythm section tour-de-force is UK-based bassist Adrian Lambert, known for his exceptional work with power metal legends DRAGONFORCE, as well as the schizophrenic, genre-defying maniacs BIOMECHANICAL.
Anthemic, catchy, yet very heavy, powerful and technical, COLDERA are currently in pre-production for their debut album - an album which they promise will showcase the immense talents of one of metal's most impressive line-ups.
Prepare for the COLDERA onslaught - crazy melodic twin-guitar solos, blast beats, incredibly melodic and precise bass lines, soaring vocals and a truck-load of raw power.
