Cold July

Cold July stands as a singular force in the UK depressive black metal scene, emerging from Cornwall with a distinctive one-woman vision since 2004. With a catalogue marked by emotional intensity and haunting sonic landscapes, Cold July has consistently engaged listeners through recordings such as "For You... My Love... I'll Disappear..." (2023), "Goodbye... My Love..." (2024), and the forthcoming album "Maybe it's for the Best..." scheduled for release in August 2024. Notable tracks like "Alone in This World" and "Haunted by our Memories" showcase an unfiltered exploration of solitude and longing, securing Cold July's place within the genre’s vanguard.

This dedication to atmospheric artistry also translates to the live stage. In November 2025, Cold July performed at The Star Inn in Guildford, lending their evocative sound as a support act for Laura Loh (Full Band). The same venue saw Cold July supporting Laura Loh’s EP launch, further demonstrating the project's ability to resonate alongside acclaimed contemporaries.

The live journey continues into 2026, with Cold July headlining at Boilerroom in April and joining (həd)pe as a support act at Limelight 2, Belfast, as part of the Still Broke 25th Anniversary Tour in September. For followers of live music, gigs, and the evolving world of depressive black metal, Cold July remains essential.
