Terrorizer Magazine describes 'Cold Comfort' as "Haunting, lush Gothic Metal the Netherlands that drips with melody." This is one that fans of Katatonia, The Gathering, etc. will not want to miss!
The title track, as well as the video for "The Scarecrow", can be seen below.
'Cold Comfort' is the band's fifth full-length effort and their third for Metal Blade Records. It offers a collection of striking songs blended into a diverse and yet surprisingly compact album, one that Autumn considers to be their most personal and meaningful to date.
Autumn needed not look far for a man to put at the helm with the right pioneering philosophy for the band to begin taking leaps: Erik-Jan Dodd, Autumn's live sound engineer since the 'My New Time era', envisioned a more vintage approach for 'Cold Comfort'. An experiment the band was all too eager to embrace, explains guitarist Mats van der Valk. "If there's anyone who knows what we're all about and more importantly: what we could potentially be all about, it's E-J."
Autumn guitarist Mats van der Valk comments on the band's upcoming shows in Germany: "We're well pleased that we'll be setting foot on German soil again this February, bringing Cold Comfort to Berlin, Köln and Hamburg. We've grown fond of these cities during previous tours, have always been welcomed with heartfelt smiles by awesome audiences. We're very much looking forward to meeting up with fans and friends, old and new, as we hit the stage for the first German shows of the Cold Comfort campaign!"
