Cold Steel - Deeper Into Greater Pain

Cold Steel - Deeper Into Greater Pain

Cold Steel is a band that is positioned to take the metal community by force! The interoogle says they hail from Tampa Bay and are made up of: Jose Menendez - vocals, Janpierre Mojica - bass / vocals, Rafi Carbonell - lead guitar, Raffy Calderon -guitar, Shawn Wallen - guitar, Brandon Thrift -drums.
Full Tilt has started getting noticed by @matthewkheafy and @sxmliquidmetal. It is a dirty track that is thrashy perfection and Jose has some zest in his delivery. Showmanship if you will! The gunfire riffs will be a pit favorite. The energy is unmatched. There is no substitute for pure passion being captured in audio form! Killer track!
Evil Eye is everything you like about crossover thrash. Riffs! Riffs! Riffs! And more riffs to cause concussions. Jose has a lot to say on this track. His defiance is infectious. There is something special about Jose! There is a gnarly death metal section at the end of the track. If that is also Jose going full death….then call me impressed.
Cold Steel is stone cold deadly. The Tampa music scene is pumping out many great bands these days. Might be time for me to toss my Dad cargo’s aside and hit some local pits. Thanks for the inspiration Cold Steel!

8 out if 10: Deeper Into Greater Pain could be a top 10 contender for me. Raw. Honest. Emotional. Energetic. What is there to not like?
