Side-Line introduces Coldlink – listen now to ‘Ghosts I’ve Known’ (Face The Beat profile series)

Track 13 on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 3” is Coldlink. On “Ghosts I’ve Known” the band is presenting its first ever output, and you’ll have to agree with us that this is quite an excellent first offering. While the rhythms have some old school feeling to it (Nitzer Ebb is not far away), the song itself goes more into a melodic electro direction with strong harsh vocals.
You can listen to the track below:
Coldlink is the new EBM project from Filament 38’s singer/writer Rob Armstrong and keyboardist Shawn McNoldy. The duo combines mood with machine, built on top of driving synths and danceable beats. Influences include dark ambient, post witch house, dark electro and classic industrial. In Spring 2016 the band will see its debut “Ghosts I’ve Known” EP released along with a video of the title track.
You can keep up to date with the band on their homepage.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
