Cold Night For Alligators

With the award as ”Best Metal Act” at UMA 2011, several tours in Europe (two times in UK, Belgium and Norway), including UK Tech Fest 2012, and shows throughout Denmark, Cold Night For Alligators is about to establish themselves as one of the most promising Danish metal acts. But how would one describe a metal band without making it sound like another overused metal cliché? Cold Night For Alligators is neither hardcore, true nor the world’s meanest metal band. It is merely four regular young guys, who wish to present a different musical experience to the listener. An experience that should leave the listener with a memorable impression of what Cold Night For Alligators is. The fact that the source of inspiration stretches from Between The Buried And Me and Meshuggah to The Faceless means that Cold Night For Alligators fills a gap in the growing Danish metal underground environment. The love of a wide span of genres shines through in a musical universe which is mostly characterized by a technical style of playing with progressivity just below the surface. There is nothing stereotype in the music, illustrated by producer Christian Bonde’s reaction “damn, what a weird groove” after listening to “Tempus Fugit” for the first time. The members of the band have very different musical backgrounds which is also why the music is inspired by elements of the electrical music scene, dubstep, jazz and metal from this decade. The new EP “Singular Patterns” (summer 2012) is the product of months of work, fun and frustrations in the studio. The joy of playing music, and the fact that the band is entering an exciting new chapter should be reflected throughout the music. “Singular Patterns” is mixed and mastered by Jeppe Anderson in Grapehouse Studio and Hansen Studio, and can be downloaded at Bandcamp at “set-your-own-price”.
