about
In 2004 the debut album 'We The Living' was released upon the ears of the public and Cold By Winter began to work hard pushing their music upon the ears of the willing and unwilling.
They went on to show their diversity and passion to play by supporting countless international acts including Hot Water Music, Thrice, Funeral for a Friend, Shai Hulud, Mudvayne, Underoath, Parkway Drive, Thursday, Sunk Loto, and alongside local legends The Bleeders, Sommerset, Cobra Khan, Kitsch, Jakob and Blindspott.
The height of their career personally and musically was the tour throughout Europe in 2006 playing 22 shows in 24 days then returning to follow up with a tour in Australia and an invitation to play New Zealand's first Taste of Chaos tour.
2007 saw the band go their separate ways and pursue other musical ventures vowing to make it work again if they ever could.
2012 marked what seemed to be the final nail in the coffin when Scott left NZ with his family to become a viking in Sweden. But nay, you cant keep a good thing down.
In 2013, Scott flew back to NZ so winter could support Norma Jean on their NZ shows. In the ten days back we recorded two songs played the shows and did this clip while holding down full time jobs and drinking.
The clip took place on a quiet Sunday in the back streets of Onehunga, violated by our music and scotts farts, Onehunga was forever changed never to return her former state of purity.
Within the shadow of your former
Where is loyalty my friend your changing face
Discourse rerun rehashed diffuse and defused
Of all the power of meaning
They say action speaks louder than word
So where is betrayal?
My friend you wear it well
Oh well
Upon your heart
Lonely,
The path you choose,
Envy
Bitter untruth……… pour from your mouth
If there rules you adhere to
Then live it and breathe it
Then we’d understand your grievance
Til then hypocrisy is seething and breathing in
You this cancer’ll see you reap what you sow
With blinders on you preach your truth your
Eyes in a tunnel
Another blind prophet
I believe your heart is not aligned with this
So cowardice shines through
Your stance, the scowl, you wear, words are two
And so is face
Let bitterness catch up to you
So shade your faces friend
History is part of you
We’re through, it wont escape you, virtue
ironically true, how you’ve, turned your back tooo
we miss you friend
drowning in the intelligence you bear and that which you learn but stunted in the same
for you will drown in this knowledge if you cannot keep your own image above the tides in which you bathe
knowledge is a gift not a weapon so careful where you point it friend
and careful of the tides in which you bathe or prepare to bathe in your shame
pride in the words you choose to judge us with so eloquent and pointed but how they’re void of meaning
when you’ve turned your coat to suit you’ve become of those that you hath judged and the venom is sealed in your heart
freedom does not lie in intelligence but in application
emancipate yourself from intelligence or your mind is as closed as the books on your shelves
the limits you placed self inflicted turn them upon you cos your stance can’t save you now
drowning in betrayal
philosophy
bitterness
emptiness
hypocrisy
falsity
history
your drowning
smile for the scene
