Cold is heating up for a new era in the hard-rock group’s history -- including its first new album in eight years,the band is back in the groove it started with its 1998 self-titled release and took off with back-to-back gold albumsin 2003, along with such rock and alternative hits as “Stupid Girl,” “Just Got Wicked” and “No One.”
“Everybody’s really pumped and excited and ready,” reports Ward. “I don’t think it feels like a new band, but it does kind of feel like a new era, like there’s a new beginning for us.”album during February 2014. Then Ward took time off to help care for his sister, who was battling cancer for a second time. That led to the departure of other band members, including original drummer Sam McCandless and guitarists Zac Gilbert and Drew Molleur, forcing Ward to assemble a new lineup.
“I have [guitarist] Nick Coyle,” says Ward. “He played in a bunch of bands and has been trying his whole life to be successful, so it’s nice he’s able to come with us now and is a great addition to the band. Lindsay [Manfredi] is the same way. She’s been touring her whole life in bands and trying to get it done and is a beautiful person and a great bass player. It’s all working real well. Everybody’s happy to be out here.
With its big beat, yearning melody and majestic chorus, first single “Shine” takes on the subject of bullying, which Ward experienced as a child and has watched his young daughter and stepdaughter deal with at their schools.“Nobody wants to have their kids come home bawling and having a hard time,” he says. “Just to know it still existed was heartbreaking. So, of course, I got online and started looking up things, and that just inspired me.
The new album will take Cold back on the road, though no dates have been announced yet. “I think with us being off for so long we’re all ready to be gypsies again and go out and play forever. So it’ll probably be a couple years of touring,” predicts Ward. “We’re blessed with the Cold Army; we’ve definitely had a die-hard fan base stick with us this whole time. The music to them is very important, and it’s helped them and it’s just carried over and still helps them to this day.
