Cold Sign To Atlantic Records

Cold have signed a new deal with Atlantic Records following their split with the Geffen label back in March. At the time, the group's frontman Scooter Ward blamed the split on "a disagreement on how to promote our band. They wouldn't do what we wanted, so we asked if they would let us go," he said.

Cold have completed eight songs for the follow-up to 2003's "Year of the Spider" and plan on entering Long View Farm Studios in North Brookfield, MA with producer/former Ugly Kid Joe guitarist Dave Fortman (Superjoint Ritual, Evanescence) "a couple of weeks after [Dave] finishes [producing the new] Mudvayne" album, according to Ward. "We will probably start touring again in December (headline only)," Scooter said.
