Cold Therapy is an Electro-Industrial / Dark Electro music project from Poland, founded by Jacek Wolański on October 8, 2012.[1] Music of Cold Therapy is known for its dark and highly atmospheric sound.

History

Wolański started his journey with music on 2009, releasing several albums with two different bands before founding Cold Therapy.[2]

At first, he started making Dark Ambient music (never officially released) with his two-man group Unsinn,[3] where he was the composer and vocalist. Finally, they ended up making Aggrotech / EBM music and released one official album on 2010.[4] Shortly after that, his work on Unsinn ended in a controversial manner, about what you can read in the interview for Halotan Records[5] - "...he 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.".[6]

The second band in which Wolański was involved was Traumatize.[7] Another Aggrotech / EBM project, which was more concentrated in making music fitting to the dancefloors and DJ sets. As Traumatize, since 2010 to the end of 2012 he released 3 full albums, 1 EP and 1 single,[8] mostly with the Spanish record label Mutant-E Records.[9]

After few years of album releases, Wolański felt tired of the aggressive, club-oriented style of music and in need of the change, founded Cold Therapy. This was the moment he decided to make more classical sounding Dark Electronic music, with the old school sounds.[10]

He stated in one of the interviews - "This time I wanted to make something different, something more "personal", more into my own musical tastes, to express myself.".[11]

After the first album "Embrace the Silence",[12] to the band joined new, main vocalist Jan R. and female, secondary vocalist Jen. They released together an EP "Carnival of Lies"[13] and the full album "Masquerade Infinite".[14] But on March 10th, 2016, Jan R. and Jen were no longer vocalists of Cold Therapy. Wolański got back to working solo on his musical project and on November 14th, 2016, he released another full-length album titled "Figures and Faces".

"Masquerade Infinite" is currently the most successful release of Cold Therapy, it got many positive reviews. For example from well-known Side-Line Magazine,[15] 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.",[16] or Brutal Resonance[17] - "Here, Cold Therapy have created a sound that spans across quite a few eras of electro-industrial evolution.".[18]

"Masquerade Infinite" reached high, 4th position in the German Electronic Charts[19] (GEWC) and entered the TOP 50 Bestsellers ranking on POPoNAUT,[20] being on the 43rd place.

Cold Therapy appeared on various compilations and is well known for numerous collaborations, and remixes done for other artists, like Wumpscut, Acylum, Shiv-r, A7ie, Die Braut, nolongerhuman, Hydroxie and more.

Record label

Currently, Cold Therapy is signed to the record label Advoxya Records[21] (since March 22, 2015).[22]
