Pre-order:
Vocalist/guitarist Justin Storms reflects on the track:
“I received this song from Greaves along with the title and immediately was drawn to the melancholic sound. I remember when I first put on my headphones and listened to ‘Colder and Colder’. I started to hum a few melodies while listening to the song.
It didn’t take long to write down some of the phrases that became the song’s verses, ‘colder and colder, see your hand on my shoulder, colder and colder, see your eyes looking over’. I wanted to create a rhythmic sort of pattern with the song title and the vocal elements.“
Found and multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves offered of the single:
“Musically, ‘Colder And Colder’ is one of my favorites on Sceaduhelm. It’s the link between classic CBP style and the more austere dark pop aspect of how I write.
Working with Storms on this song was a total victory. He’s an awesome vocalist and his lyrics really give it a chilling tragic story.”
