Cold emerged from the Jacksonville, Florida USA, Altrnative-Metal scene,
fronted by singer+guitarist Scooter Ward, who started the band in the
late '90s with Kelly Hayes on guitar, Jeremy Marshall on bass and Sam
McCandless on drums.
Limp Bizkit main-man Fred Durst helped
the band land a contract with A&M Records subsidiary Flip and in mid-1998
Cold released its eponymous debut full-length album; the quartet toured
heavily behind the record playing concerts with Limp
Bizkit, Korn, Deftones
and Orgy.
By the time it came time to record the next album, Ward began working
on it focused on vocals, guitarist Terry Balsamo was added to the ranks
and "13 Ways To Bleed On Stage" saw the light of day in September
of 2000; it shot to #1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers list and entered
the top 100 of The Billboard 200 chart spawning three Mainstream Rock
top 30 hits: "Just Got Wicked", "End Of The World"
and "No One", the latter of which peaked at #13 on The Modern
Rock Tracks chart and helped the band's sophomore effort go gold.
Two and a half years later the quintet returned with their breakthrough
CD, "Year Of The Spider", the album crashed into the top 3 of
The Billboard 200 chart and its single "Stupid Girl" stormed
both Mainstream and Modern Rock Tracks charts reaching respectively the
#4 and #6 spots; the follow-up single, "Suffocate", made top
20 on Active Rock chart. During 2004, both guitarists left the band, Hayes
was recruited by another Florida's Nu-Metal outfit, Allele
and Terry Balsamo joined Evanescence
on tour; Cold then hired Matt Loughran and went to work on its fourth
album.
Now as four-piece act, Cold issued "A Different Kind Of Pain",
in late August 2005 on Atlantic Records, it includes the single "Happens
All The Time".
