So Cold

At the beginning the So Cold project was just an idea of Jure and Teo from Trieste, north-eastern Italy. It was all born by their deep attraction for gothic metal, so “If you are a fan of finnish gothic metal from the 90’es I can recommend you this band” (Metal Revolution). Teo, who played in the first line-up of Rhapsody of Fire when the band was still called Thundercross, contacted soon other local musicians.
With the entrance of Mik, Max and Ste, a reliable nucleus was easily reached. The melodic and melancholic sound of So Cold steadily developed with time, from winter 2004 to the long awaited release of their first official and self-produced demo “A touch of…” (Fandango Studios, Trieste) in March 2006, “They’ve got something not so common these days, it’s called talent” (Chimeramusic.org). Starting from the first direct but catchy melodies, the band has slowly found its own way and inspiration for a “sensual and melodic heavy rock” (Metallus.it), brought to excellence by Mik’s voice (J.P. Leppaluoto docet).
In april 2006 So Cold signed an agreement with italian label Nomadism Records for the release of “Kiss the scythe” in the label’s new compilation “United forces of Phoenix” in September 2006.
Since that moment the band has never stopped composing new melodies, while working hard for promoting its music and demo, taking part in radio programs, at Radio Capodistria, and giving several interviews published on many online fanzines, revealing itself as a “band in great shape”(Metallus.it) under many aspects. So Cold has started soon playing live shows as well, first of all was Metal Mania Open Air in Slovenia, in august 2006, where the guys finally showed all their potential as a“Solid band in the gothic metal underground scene” (Paranoid-zine.com).

A touch of demo has got many reviews around the world, many of them sound great:
Metal Hammer UK: 8/10
Metal.de: 8/10
ChimeraMusic.org: 8/10
MagicFireMusic.net: 15/20
Imperiumi.net: 3+/5
At the beginning of January 2007 Jure decided to give up and to follow his personal path far away in Russia. Misfortune after misfortune and mourning after mourning the band channelled all this emotional stream in the recording of their first album at the Moonbeat Studio in Trieste. But this is a story to come…
The heart of So Cold beats today in Trieste, with the intense energy of Mik, Teo, Max and Ste. Their music creates a unique atmosphere, leading you through dark dreams, deep passions and strong emotions, weakness and sorrow.
Join them in their black harmony
The band’s Myspace page has confirmed that So Cold already has many fans around the world, counting more than 50.000 visitors.
