Year Of The Spider

With the success of 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage, Geffen financed their third major album titled Year of the Spider, which was released in 2003. Year of the Spider is the third Studio album by Floridian Post-grunge /hard rock quintet Cold. See also 2003 in music (UK Musical groups established in 2003 Record labels The album has been to date the band’s most commercially successful album, when it debuted at #3 on the Billboard Album charts, with over 101,000 copies of the album sold in its first week of release. The Billboard 200 is a ranking of the 200 highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States, published weekly by Billboard The album’s first single, "Stupid Girl," has been the only Cold single to crack the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at #87. Following the release of the album’s second single "Suffocate" to radio stations, plans were set-forth for a video to accompany the song. However, for reasons unknown, Geffen refused to make the video, or promote the album any further. The stalemate with the label led to frustrations within the band, and in late 2003 Terry Balsamo departed, replacing Ben Moody in Evanescence. Ben Robert Moody (born January 22, 1980 in Little Rock Arkansas, U Evanescence is an American Balsamo was later replaced by ex-Darwin's Waiting Room axe-man Eddie Randini.

In 2004, guitarist Kelly Hayes quit the band, citing that "not feeling the music" was his main justification for leaving the band. See also 2004 in music (UK Musical groups established in 2004 Record labels This was despite Ward's earlier comments saying Hayes wanted a break from the music scene. A week after Kelly Hayes' departure, he officially confirmed his position as the guitarist in Jacksonville's hard rock outfit, Allele, a move that had been in the works from the time Terry Balsamo left the band. Hard rock (also referred to as heavy rock) is a variation of Rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage and Psychedelic rock The band made efforts to release another single, "Wasted Years" from Year of the Spider. However, Geffen stayed true to their earlier promise by not financing or promoting the album any further (despite it later being certified gold). However, Cold officially released another single from Year of the Spider entitled "Gone Away", which was the secret track featured after the song "Kill the Music Industry". Year of the Spider is the third Studio album by Floridian Post-grunge /hard rock quintet Cold. The track begins at 16:06 after 13 minutes and 13 seconds of silence (a reference to the superstitious nature of their previous effort 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage). This song was used for WWE Tough Enough 2. There were two versions of a video released for this song.

Subsequently, in mid-2004 the band asked to be released from the Geffen label. This proved ironic, as a track was released on the album titled "Kill the Music Industry," in which the band blasted the predictability and marketing of major record labels. The band also recorded the soundtrack for the video game Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy featuring the songs "With My Mind", "Came All the Way", "Just Got Wicked (Chris Vrenna Remix)", and "Go Away (Chris Vrenna Eye Socket Remix)" and embarked on a short tour with Sevendust in support of "With My Mind", the single released from the CD.

A Different Kind Of Pain

By September 2004, the band had added former member Matt Loughran to their ranks and was picked up by Atlantic Records (Lava Records division), where they set about recording a new album. Atlantic Records ( Atlantic Recording Corporation) is an American Record label best known for its many recordings of Rhythm & blues, Rock Lava Records is an American based Record label, owned by Warner Music Group, and operates through Atlantic Records. The album was to be produced by Elvis Baskette and slated to be released in December 2004. However, Cold suffered another blow with the loss of their third guitarist in almost a year and parted ways with Edward Rendini for undisclosed reasons. The new album was scheduled to be released in spring of 2005. Before releasing the album, Cold went back in the studio to record several more tracks. The album was originally to be titled And a Sad Song Lives On but was later changed to The Calm that Killed the Storm, and the suspected release date was moved to September 13, 2005.

In June 2005, the band's official website noted yet another change to the new album's title, changing it to A Different Kind of Pain. A Different Kind of Pain is the fourth album by Cold. It was released on August 30, 2005 in the US and September 12, 2005 "Happens All the Time" was the first single and video released. Just prior to shooting the video, the band added Las Vegas guitarist Mike Booth the band. He would appear in the video and tour with them for a few months, being replaced later by Florida-native Zachary Gilber. The album debuted at #26 on the Billboard Albums charts, with more than 36,000 copies sold – a relative disappointment considering the success of the previous two albums. The title track was released as the second single, but Atlantic did not fund another video. The majority of A Different Kind of Pain was written in a hotel room that Ward locked himself in for an unknown amount of time. His sister has had a long battle with cancer, and is said to have been the root of the subject matter on the album, along with the end of his relationship to his fiance/mother of his daughter.

Disbanding
