Screams Of Cold Winter were formed in late September 2007 when Paul (keyboards), Spike (Guitar), and Lundie (Guitar) former members of Preston based Goth band Asylum, joined forces with ex-Sorrows Fall lead singer Trish. They later recruited Ryan from Without Motive on drums. After just over 2 months of rehearsing and writing material, the band played their first live gig supporting Pro-jekt and have since gone on to support the likes of Deviant UK, Cybercide, Novus UK and Rhombus. In March 2008 due to commitments with his other band Ryan left and was replaced with Claire on drums. Tom (Violin) recently made a live appearence with the band. Dugald (bass) recently stood in for one gig and helped out the band. In May 2008 the band recruited Jonny formerly of Burn Machina and Manisha Tank on bass. With the new lineup the band are due to start work on writing and recording their first album which should be out by the end of the year. Screams Of Cold Winter mix traditional gothic metal guitar and synth sounds with powerful and harmonious female vocals. Influenced by Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Rammstein to name a few.
