Cold InsideCold Inside are a Finnish band that is heavily inspired and influenced by most forms of American hardcore. This group features crushing Cro-Mags meets Integrity guitars with driving, head-throbbing drumming in vein of Iron Age or Bracewar. Fierce vocals about human despair and heartache round out the songs. Originally formed in 2003 under their previous name...Unity Murder. This 7' is their debut release and was put out last year (2006) by Brown Records/On My Own Records.
Finland is showing the rest of the planet that their hardcore scene is one to be reckoned with. Even though this particular band may not be the best Finland has to offer, they are certainly a strong component of that scene and would prove successful here in the States if ever given the chance. If you are into bands like No Warning, Infest or Ringworm; this band is worth your attention. If this band were able to tour the U.S. with a band like Bracewar or Shipwreck, you would see plenty of hardcore nerds sucking Cold Inside's dick on message boards across cyberspace.
Rating: 3.5/5

Synopsis: Brown Records has really opened my eyes to some excellent Finnish hardcore bands. I was already a big Finnish hockey fan (Sami Kapanen & Antero Niittymaki are two of my favorite players) and now I can claim to be a fan of their music scene as well.
