Cold are from Jacksonville, Florida, USA. With the release of its self-titled debut, "Cold," in 1998, the band quickly became known for its angsty lyrics and the singer's distinctive voice. Cold's first self-entitled album, "Cold," has obvious touches of grunge, but on the following album, "13 Ways to Bleed on Stage," Cold changed towards a more ambivalent, and in some ways, alternative, hard rock, with slightly calmer and angst inspired songs. In later years and albums, Cold has moved closer to plain rock, heavily inspired by lead singer Scooter Ward's dark lyrics and sorrowful sound.
