Rituals Of Surrender

Unhallowed Remains I hate to compare bands to established artists but Cold In Berlin sound immediately familiar. Comparisons to the heavier end of Killing Joke's back catalog being fronted by Souxie Soux and draped in modern Doom fuzz is about as close as I can get. This album is powerful and pummling goth doom goodness. Simply stunning, stripped back and gloomy, just how I like it! Favorite track: The Power.

Ogden Fahey For the demonic possession! Favorite track: Dark Days.

Paul Schwarz "She was just a child / When the world was born" Summative as F*r! The R66 "feed" is "headed" off at the bypass by soaring feminine tenor tones, snarling gutwrench bass giving way to floating mid to high guitar notes. The POWER. Oh wow. The POWER! Favorite track: The Power.

Stampeding Tapir This is by far Cold in Berlin's heaviest, doomiest and maybe yet most melodic album yet. Kick-ass-riffing, slowly pulsating rhythms and desperate vocals with a slightly angry undertone at the same time. Fluent songwriting, unique sound and catchy songs - wow, thanks! :) Favorite track: Dark Days.

about

Cold in Berlin’s fourth album Rituals of Surrender is proudly released by New Heavy Sounds.

Produced with gritty clarity and volume by Wayne Adams (Green Lung – Woodland Rites) Rituals of Surrender opens with the grinding, hypnotic pulse of The Power and the gothic riffage of Dark Days.

The record twists and turns as guitars crash, tempos warp and vocalist Maya stalks your thoughts with her mesmeric vocals. The rituals continue to build through Avalanche and Monsters, an edgy industrial throb and a sweeping prayer. Side A closes with Frantic a frenetic shard of fractured shellac.

When the cut-and-thrust dies down, the album reveals the band at their most fragile. The haunting schadenfreude of Your Body//My Church is a beautiful, desperate love song nestled between the epic Temples and the stoner trip of Shadowman.

The closing piece is Sacred Ground. A slice of Lovecraftian doom-gaze, touched by haunting violin builds to their grandest and most poignant piece to date.

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track. dan-rod

Extremely atmospheric and quite varied, but not as polished as their later work. Still stands well on its own though. At first I was weirded out by the short instrumental tracks, but now I *really* dig them. dan-rod
