Cold Night for Alligators

Copenhagen, Denmark

How would one describe a metalband without making it sound like another overused metal cliché?

Cold Night For Alligators is neither hardcore, nor 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 stereotypical in the music, as 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, dub step, jazz and metal from this decade. This chaotic picture of sound is perfectly summed up by the words of Morten Løsborg (tech. supporter, CB Studios): “It sounds like a lot of beats on the bass drum mixed together and then thrown out all over the place”.

The EP “Ulterior Motives” 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. “Ulterior Motives” is mixed and mastered by Jeppe Anderson in Hansen Studios, and can be downloaded free of charge here at the site.
