Cold Meridian

Using the bleak industrial backdrop of Central Scotland to help define their nihilistic dystopia-core sound, Cold Meridian crawl from the cracks in the oil soaked scorched earth and create a soundtrack to a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by war and disease.

These ex Shatterhand road warriors (Dave McIntosh, Stuart McIntosh and Mike Crawford) have darkened their souls and traded in the 100mph chaos for a brooding, uneasy and almost cinematic soundscape.

There are still hints of fiery punk energy burning like a dark plume of smoke in some of the songs, but when you cross it with Killing Joke's unease and The Chameleons atmospheric layers, you get a sonic rebirth; in places melancholic, in others, cynical and hypnotic.

Cold Meridian have found something raw and broken in the absence of all hope and created an unnerving sound. They welcome you into their Post-Punk almost gothic abyss of sound to face the darkness of your own future and the anger of all our pasts.

Where the debut Album ebbed and flowed, pushed and pulled, always brooding with an underlying tension, the band have returned with a new single and a new energy which propels "Adrenaline Fire" into the air with a cyclical riff, thundering bass line and dark, considered vocals setting the scene for the next chapter in what promises to be a truly incredible story......
