about

‘Cold' was one of the first songs we wrote in the cellar in the basement. Title was inspired by the cold you could feel in the bones late at night from November to February. Back then seasons were there in full. In Winter I could be there only with layers of jumpers and a steaming teapot. The wine my father stored in the adjacent room also helped some times.
It was supposed to be an instrumental according to the singer, but eventually we convinced him to layer a basic text at least. And he obliged to the requirements of course.
Rhythmic section got inspired from the martial drums on the cassettes of a band signed on our same label.
That band was Ataraxia. I guess no one will ever link that to the making of this track. Nor they will never guess that the bass line comes from the repeated listening of the techno rave anthems feeding the illegal raves at the time, and I joined something radically different from the crusty
years when I suddenly shifted from “The Only Good Punk is A Dead One" to “From Enslavement To Obliteration" in the course of a Summer. This song has it all. Even if you will never guess so. When I heard this song played in a club it really took some time before admitting to myself that it could only possible be our song being played and not someone else playing something like Luigi's arpeggio. Or him having stolen that off this band. or ultimately someone covering a song of ours. And it wasn't the third round of Weiss beer either...

lyrics

Real cold, real fear
Ancient remorse
Endless stations of nightmare
Devil eyes Look all around my body
Smear my life and spill my shame.
Cold, Cut into my soul Before I get the chance
And then destroy my name
The untold promises of empty voices
Unfold the face. Cold.
Cold, my tears
Cold, my heart
Cold, in my veins
Cold, my life
Cold, in your life
Cold, my eyes. Cold.

Simon Dreams In Violet Rome, Italy

“Formed in '92 with voice, distorted bass and drums. Band's symbol comes from a sign placed on witches graves, which is jolly. The assurance of the old sound sustained through energetic expression rather than shallow noise. Two MC's through Energeia, ‘Simon Dreams In Violet' ('93), ‘Dreaming The Lost' ('94) and the self-released MC ‘Follia’ ('95) on their own label Interior Deus.” Mick Mercer ... more
