Screams of Cold Winter are pleased to announce their return. Following the departure of Trish and the bands break up in late 2011 the band have returned with a new line up which sees Spike McKay rejoin the band on guitar and keyboard player Paul Shepherd now switching roles to guitar. Joining them is Justin Clack on drums, Brian MacDichian on bass guitar, and Sarah Loftus on vocals. The new line up will make their live debut at The Cedar Tavern, Blackpool on March 17th and will also be performing at Later at The Blue Room on 6th April and 5th May. The band have been working on new material which they will be performing at these shows and also will soon recording for an upcoming EP. We would also like to thank previous band members Trish, Claire, Dugald, and Lundie for their valuable contribution to the band over the years. Previous line-up Screams of Cold Winter are a female fronted Alternative Metal band from the North of England. Formed in late 2007, from the remains of local metal bands, Vocalist Trish, Guitarists Spike and Lundie, Bassisst Dugald, Synth/Keys player Paul, and Drummer Claire, joined forces to combine a heavy and harmonious guitar driven sound mixed with decadent synthscapes and formidable, elegantly delivered female vocals. Encompassing the raw energy of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Lacuna Coil, Paradise Lost, Tool and Killswitch Engage, while moulding their own original sound Scream of Cold Winter soon took their sound to the road. Over the last two and half years Screams of Cold Winter sound has continued to grow and evolve and the band continue to develop their presence as a formidable metal band. Known for their live performances, Screams of Cold Winter thrive on proving themselves to new and varied audiences across the UK. Already cutting their teeth on the UK live circuit with established acts like - Abigails Mercy, 3rd Room, Inkubus Sukkubus, Pro-Jekt, Screaming Banshee Aircrew,You Will Fail, By Any Means, Where Angels Fall, From The Ashes,CryGirlCry, shows how they can hold their own with ease. Despite their constant live presence Screams of Cold Winter have recently shifted their focus to creating and recording their debut album ‘Della Luna’, which will be released by Casket Music in 2010. With their eyes fixed on new heights It’s only a matter of time before Screams Of Cold Winter lay waste to the UK and the rest of the world.
