Coldworker at Myspace

So in 2005, Anders Jakobson began writing demos for what could eventually become the first Coldworker album, “The Contaminated Void.” Once “The Contaminated Void” was released, it was clear that Anders wasn’t really done with Nasum. “The Contaminated Void” was full of sheer brutality, speed, technicality, and fury but on their newest record, “Rotting Paradise,” Coldworker actually slowed down a bit, think Zyklon’s “Disintegrate” when compared to “World Ov Worms”, and full of groove.

“Rotting Paradise” at times reminds me a bit of Arch Enemy at times due to the solos and the melody now present in “Rotting Paradise” but the brutality and the speed is still pure Coldworker. The album is a huge step up because it shows a side of “Death/Grind” that hasn’t been seen in a long time, not since Carcass’ “Heartwork.” This is really a great album and one that will really play well live when Coldworker performs. So look for this album and look for them on tour and prepare to come out bruised!
