From Russia with Love (Cold War album)

From Russia with Love is the first album by metalcore band, Cold War. It was recorded between May and July 2004 and released on Indecision Records in November 2004.

Overview

The band made use of sound effects and cinematic excerpts in the recording of this album, as opposed to the 'sampling' of another artist's songs.

It is characterized by its harsh hardcore vocal style and brutal, but often melodic and somewhat technical, guitar work. The lyrics can be described as typically hardcore, that is to say politically and socially aware in contrast to the fantasy imagery often employed by heavy metal bands.
