Cold Therapy (band)
Cold Therapy is an Dark-industrial / dark electronic music project from Poland, founded by Jacek Wolański in October 8, 2012. Music of Cold Therapy is known for its dark and atmospheric sound - "A soundtrack to the dark side of your mind”. History. Wolański began releasing music in 2009, releasing several albums with two different bands before founding Cold Therapy. At first, he started making Dark Ambient music (never officially released) with his two-man group Unsinn, where he was the composer and vocalist. Finally, they ended up making Aggrotech / EBM music and released one official album in  2010. Shortly after that, his work on Unsinn ended in a controversial manner: "[H]e removed me from the band, took all rights, without mentioning about it. He said and wrote everywhere that I left the band by myself. And that was the end of our cooperation." The second band in which Wolański was involved was Traumatize. Another Aggrotech / EBM project, which concentrated more on making music suitable for dancefloors and DJ sets. As Traumatize, from 2010 to the end of 2012 he released 3 full albums, 1 EP and 1 single, mostly with the Spanish record label Mutant-E Records . After few years of album releases, Wolański felt tired of the aggressive, club-oriented style of music and in need of a change, founded Cold Therapy. This was the moment he decided to make more old-school Dark Electronic music. He stated in an interview: "This time I wanted to make something different, something more 'personal', more into my own musical tastes, to express myself." After the first album "Embrace the Silence", the band was joined by a new main vocalist, Jan R., and female secondary vocalist Jen. They then released the EP "Carnival of Lies" and the full album  Masquerade Infinite. But on March 10, 2016, both left Cold Therapy and Wolański returned to working solo. On November 14, 2016, he released another full-length album, "Figures and Faces". "Masquerade Infinite" is currently the most successful release of Cold Therapy has received many positive reviews, for example from "Side-Line Magazine", which stated: "Cold Therapy clearly strives to compose a personal sound. The haunting atmospheres hanging over the songs is poignant and definitely the main force and characteristic of this work" and "Brutal Resonance": "Here, Cold Therapy have created a sound that spans across quite a few eras of  electro-industrial evolution." "Masquerade Infinite" reached 4th position on the German Electronic Charts (GEWC) and entered the TOP 50 Bestsellers ranking on "POPoNAUT", being in 43rd place.
