Coldseed

Side projects are nothing new in metal, and in recent years there seems to be an increase in such bands. Coldseed brings together six members from three countries (Sweden, Germany, and Spain), three of whom are quite familiar to metal fans (Björn "Speed" Strid, Oliver Holzwarth, and Thomen Stauch). The list of other bands featuring these guys is impressive: Soilwork, Blind Guardian, Sieges Even, among others. And yet Coldseed sounds absolutely nothing like any of them. Instead, this is an odd sort of modern metal, with traces of industrial and nu-metal (though the band should not be categorized as either), and Strid alternating clean and harsher vocals, even more so than he has on his recent Soilwork albums. Again, this is clearly not anything like what one might expect from these guys. A bit on the inconsistent side overall, but at least there’s an effort to try something outside the flavor of the month.
