AUTUMN stream "Truth Be Told (Exhale)" on mxdwn.com!
'Cold Comfort' available worldwide now!
Today, online music destination mxdwn.com will be hosting the premiere of Truth Be Told (Exhale) from AUTUMN's new album, Cold Comfort. The song is the 8th track on the record and contains some of the albums most poignant and moving melodies. The track can be heard now HERE.
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 now at www.metalblade.com/autumn.
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, Kφln 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!"

The band comments the video clip as follows: The Scarecrow is the opening track of our new album Cold Comfort. Its probably our most doomy and melancholic song ever. Pretty heavy as well.

While AUTUMN's roots remain firmly planted in heavy rock/guitar-oriented soil, their branches are stretching out to more progressive musical genres and alternative approaches to the sound of individual songs. Guitarist Jens van der Valk elaborates: "In terms of sound we realized there were still leaps to be taken out of our comfort zone and into unthought-of possibilities. As a first step in the right direction, our main focus was on a more open, transparent sound, one through which the often multi-layered nature of our songs would be optimally channeled."

Autumn The Heart Demands video featured on ultimate-guitar.com!
Dutch hard rockers, Autumn, have recently released a new video for their song, The Heart Demands, from their latest album, Altitude. Our friends over at Ultimate-Guitar.com posted the video this morning, so make sure to head over there and check it out. You can see the video HERE.
Altitude was released on March 3rd in the US and perpetuates the bands vision of writing albums and not just putting together a collection of songs. Guitarist Mats van der Valk comments: Were pretty much an album band, having grown up in times when buying an album meant embarking on a musical journey, a thrilling adventure. Nowadays, you often end up with a collection of songs, some killers, some fillers. For us, every note on this album has a purpose. Every second counts, so to speak.
Ultimate-Guitar.com is the fastest growing guitar community on the net - it's the only guitar website that has gear and cd reviews, music news, guest columns, guitar and bass lessons and tabs in one place! And don't forget about the coolest guitar community of guitarists on the planet, so make sure to register for an account and comment on The Heart Demands and other videos while youre there.
Welmens performance is far more personal and engaging, reflecting the warmth of an Anette Olzon or Amy Lee… Outburn Magazine
…dreamy and otherworldly…brilliant and very inventive… PureGrainAudio.com
…beautiful harmonies combined with great songwriting and an avant-garde sensibility make Altitude a multi-layered and multi-dimensional CD that is a very enjoyable disc to listen to. ThrashMag.com
To say that Altitude is the bands best work to date is an understatement, for Altitude has blasted light years ahead of what the band crafted two years ago in My New Time. SomethingPunk.com
The MVP of the album is Welman, who takes the full reins of Autumn and never lets loose. Her vocals are soaring, passionate, and full of just the right amount of emotion to not lean into over-wrought territory. About.com
If you're looking for smartly penned melodic metal (which manages to sound unlike most of the other modern-day metal bands mining similar sonic terrain), Autumn's Altitude would be a wise purchase. AllMusic.com
