San Francisco’s industrial rockers Everything Goes Cold make their eagerly anticipated return with the release of their new single “Nadir.” This haunting track unveils a spacious, desolate industrial soundscape, seamlessly blending haunting guitars, resonant drums, menacing synth atmospheres, and forlorn darkwave vocals. It’s a chilling reminder of the band’s ability to craft deeply immersive, dystopian sonics, and a potent declaration of their enduring relevance in the industrial scene. “Nadir” encapsulates the icy heart of Everything Goes Cold: brooding, atmospheric, and unrelentingly intense.
Ever since their last appearance, Everything Goes Cold’s frontman, Eric Gottesman, has been anything but idle. He’s been keeping a busy schedule outside the band, playing keyboards and bass with more groups than you can patch into a synthesizer, including Ayria, Caustic, and Haujobb.
“Nadir” marks Everything Goes Cold’s gritty comeback after a decade, diving headfirst into a post-apocalyptic disaster vibe while holding onto their signature blend of melodic songcraft and electronic thunder. This is dark music for a darker world, with Gottesman spinning his sinister spell.
But don’t be fooled by the grim themes; the band’s twisted humor and quirky imagery remain intact. Gabriel Roland, the band’s longtime visualist, helms the retrofuturistic clip with style. Expect a VHS treatment, lo-fi glitches, and surrealist animated touches, including their quintessential cartoon refrigerator seething with renewed rage for a rough new era.
The video also features guitarist Jamie Cronander (Combichrist), keyboardist Morgan Tucker (Crashfaster), and drummer Mike Blodgett (Dark Monarch).
Watch the video for “Nadir” below:
Everything Goes Cold burst onto the scene in 2007. Their debut album, Prepare to Be Refrigerated, hit the streets in 2009, flaunting a signature mix of dark humor and heavy beats. Over the years, they’ve kept up a relentless touring schedule, collaborating with notable artists across the EBM and industrial scenes.
Everything Goes Cold’s last full-length, 2014’s Black Out the Sun (Metropolis Records), delved into 8-bit chiptune sounds through the gritty lens of classic WaxTrax!-style industrial music. But their latest effort aims to bridge the gap between the insular traditional industrial scene and the cutting-edge realms of darkwave and EBM.
An intense remix for Nadir by Susan Subtract (High Functioning Flesh, Physical Wash) drives home the ambitious scope, with top-notch production from INHALT’s Matia Simovich. The result is a hard-hitting blend that’s both sharp and shadowy.
Nadir releases digitally on July 23th through Pittsburgh’s Distortion Productions.
