Dark, melodic, powerful and moving is how I start to sum up COLD COLOURS newest EP "MMXIV". Whenever I get a review it's sometimes hard to decipher the genre of music depending on the band name. With the name COLD COLOURS, I was thinking maybe some European electro-pop progression?!  I'm glad this wasn't the case.

"MMXIV" opens up with the lead off track "Heathen", it has a slow, doom and gloom intro. But then it gets heavier with the growling vocals but doesn't get real fast, which is cool, very fitting for the song.

The next tune, "From This Pain" also has that slow melodic intro but then you get some double kick in this one and some speed. This track to me sounds very similar to AMON AMARTH except the Viking references.

The Final track on COLD COLOURS new EP "MMXIV" is titled "Terminal Winter", them being from Minnesota, I can imagine. Living in Wisconsin myself, this winter sucked. However, this tune does no suck, its COLD COLOURS eclectic sound of dark and powerful yet has melody and ferocity.

If you are fans of melodic doom/death metal...definitely check these guys out. You can even go to their website and stream the album. I dig them and you will too.
