COLD Change Album Title, Post New Single Online

COLD have changed the title of their fourth full-length album to "A Different Kind of Pain" from the previously announced "The Calm That Killed the Storm". The follow-up to 2003's "Year of the Spider" was recorded in part at Bearsville studios in Woodstock, New York with producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette (CHEVELLE, IGGY POP) and was mixed by Ben Grosse (FILTER, FUEL, SEVENDUST, ALTER BRIDGE). The first single, "Happens All the Time", is currently available for listening at this location.

"A Different Kind of Pain" is scheduled for release on August 30 via Atlantic.

In a recent interview with MTV.com, COLD frontman Scooter Ward said about the upcoming CD, "It still has that dark vibe to it, but it's the most real record that I've ever done. With 'Year of the Spider', I tried to be real, and I got there with a couple of songs, but this one is just all real. There's definitely that message of 'Just don't give up.' There's got to be something out there, and if you just hold on to it, it will come to you."

Baskette was summoned to guide the band through the recording process. "We incorporated a lot of piano and a lot of strings on a few of these songs, and we brought Baskette in for the guitar sounds because we love the way he brings the heavy guitars. It's definitely the biggest record we've done yet soundwise, productionwise."

It's also COLD's first complete offering.

"Every time we've made a record, I've always had one thing wrong with it," Ward revealed. "I've always been like, 'Oh God, it's still not the record that I've always wanted to do.' But finally, with this one, we've found what we've always wanted to — a record I am 100 percent behind, that has every element of COLD we could have."
