Coldbones

Coldbones are a genre-blurring instrumental trio from Kent, UK, serving up heavy atmospheric soundscapes without uttering a single word. Since forming around 2015, they’ve carved their niche by fusing post-rock’s cinematic expansiveness with metal’s raw intensity, stacking colossal riffs against delicate melodies. Their 2018 debut *Where It All Began* put them on the radar of the UK’s underground heavy music scene, while 2020’s *The Cataclysm* sharpened their knack for earth-shaking dynamics and introspective moods. Known for their crushing live shows, they even brought their tectonic sound to the Heavy Music Awards in 2020, immortalized in their *Live At The Heavy Music Awards ’20* release. Whether they’re dropping original avalanches like *Ruin* and *Collapse* or reimagining Kate Bush’s *Running Up That Hill* with wall-of-sound grandeur, Coldbones let their instruments do the screaming—and they’ve got plenty to say.
