3 Feet High & Rising: Members of The Fight, KOYO, Missing Link, Sanction, Separated & TYPECASTE Form New Band Blood Runs Cold & Share Debut Double-single (DAZE)
Hailing from The Island of Long (ya'know, Long Island,) New York, Blood Runs Cold is creating Metallic Hardcore fueled by sheer frustration. Just last week, the band made their debut with double-single, "Residuals" B/W "Kill Yourself," out on DAZE. Formed by brothers, guitarist Evan Perino (Separated, Missing Link) and drummer Dillon Perino (Sanction, The Fight,) the two set out with vocalist Joey Chiarmonte (KOYO, Soul Provider, TYPECASTE) to produce a sound that was heavier than what was currently happening in the local scene. Rounded out by guitarist Mike Marino (Sanction) and first-time bassist Kyle Mulligan, the band took their time in the studio crafting out what you hear today. The two songs fall into a similar vein of recent DAZE releases, like Simulakra & Foreign Hands, while pulling influence from bands, like Buried Alive, Madball & Poison The Well. "Residuals" sets off with a classic Melodic [Hardcore] start before heading into a mosh-fueled fury of hulking guitars and shout-along vocals. On the seethingly direct "Kill Yourself," an impassioned vocal fury stirs, supported by crashing cymbals and crushing guitar work.
Speaking on the lyrical content, the band stated: "Most of the songs come from a frustrated or hateful place. Depression, mortality, [and] frustration with the ways people operate both in sub-cultures and broader society inspired the lyrics for the record." It appears as though Blood Runs Cold handed out a two-track promo CD entitled 2023 Demo featuring early(?) versions of both "Residuals" & "Kill Yourself" at FYA Fest in Tampa, Florida back in early January, which doubled as their first show together. "Residuals" B/W "Kill Yourself" is available now on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp. The release was recorded and mixed by Evan Perino at Shellshock Audio and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Double-single artwork designed by Lil' D AKA Dillon Perino. Plus, we heard from a little birdy Blood Runs Cold is already planning a more full-length release to drop this upcoming summer! Blood Runs Cold's next live show is scheduled for April 2, 2023 at 7:00pm at Amityville Music Hall in Amityville, New York with Earth Crisis, One King Down, and Age of Apocalypse celebrating 30 years of the Firestorm EP.
