    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    "Cold Colours’ new EP “MMXIV” is a depressive doom release that has a dark and deathly feeling to it. Within the melancholy though is some impressive melody and guitar shreding and the solos make you feel the emotion as it pulls you into the shadows and leaves you there to rot...

    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    " Brian James Huebner, Kopf und an sich einzig festes Bandmitglied der US-Doomer COLD COLOURS, ist schon ein umtriebiger Geist, seit dem ersten Lebenszeichen im Jahr 2000 bringt es seine Kapelle auf nicht weniger als zehn Veröffentlichungen. Wie im Underground aber so üblich, relativiert sich...

    "Something good is going on here... The first track on this EP, Heathen, starts with black rasping in the style of Rotting Christ , which gives way to death-metal vocals. And the music is... I keep thinking it reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what. All I know is that I like it. There's...

    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    "Playing death-doom with gothic touches, Cold Colours churn out dark, sinister riffs that interweave with raw, slightly blackened vocals. This EP gets better as it progresses. The opening song, ‘Heathen’ is a little hesitant and flat, but is followed by ‘From This Pain&#8217...

    "When I stumbled into reviewing the MMXIV EP by Minnesotans Cold Colours I thought I am introducing a new band to the MetalReviews pages, but was surprised to find that my colleague Andy already covered their earlier full-length eponymous release, giving them a little harsh marks, especially for...

    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    "If you’re in the mood for some old fashioned depressive doom metal, then look no further, Cold Colours’ new EP titled MMXIV is exactly what you are looking for. The three track EP, which clocks in at almost nineteen minutes, is a nice block of heavy, brutally depressing doom metal...

    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    "Though Cold Colours just released a full-length album last year with their first self-titled disc, (I’ll have to add that they’ve had quite a few releases before that one) this appears to be a small follow-up EP. It very much seems to follow the same style as the band’s...

    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    "The brainchild of Brian James Huebner, Cold Colours has been around for 19 years by now, with four full-lengths and some EPs and demos to their name. 2014 now sees the kind of aptly titled fourth EP MMXIV, and usually something dubbed “atmospheric death/gothic metal” indeed does...

    "(7/10) Cold Colors, the band from Brian J. Huebner, released a new EP called "MMXIV" which contains three songs. Those are a logical continuation from their fourth album "Cold colours". The band sticks to the dark metal song with the distinctive vocals of Huebner. "Heathen" is a slow and riff...

    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    "Cold Colours is the kind of domineering doom metal band who have a colossal bottom end and a sense of the riff that is to die for. Their new EP, MMXIV though only three songs long is the sort of release that speaks to the eternal might of doom within our souls. These Minneapolis natives are...

    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    "Hailing from the USA, today we have Atmospheric Death/Doom Metal outfit Cold Colours and their three songs EP “MMXIV”. With a distinctive European sound, this band reminds us of a slower and gloomier version of Swallow The Sun, My Dying Bride, and Frailty mixed in with some Thorns...

    Cold Colours 'MMXIV' reviews

    "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...
