Five years ago in 2012 the guys came together and officially became ColdCell. Seems like two maybe a lucky number for the band, since every two years since the founding they have released a new album. Their debut album ‘Generation Abomination’ produced by Gravity Entertainment in October of 2013, being their longest album to date. Two years later the band released their second album entitled ‘Low Life’ in May of 2015 with just one less song, but from a new label Avanlgarde Music. November has been a very busy month for this out of the Swiss group with the release of their third album ‘Those’ on November 3rd 2017. This eight song album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Victor Bullock, over the course of three months in Germany at Woodstock Studio. The album was produced under the record label Avanlgarde Music.
