Thanks to Chain D.L.K. and Steve Mecca for their review of Color of Nothing.

" This is a bigger, bolder and heavier album than they've ever done before"

'Color of Nothing' is Collide's 8th studio album and their first one in six years following 'Counting to Zero' in 2011. That album was a rather downtempo, melancholy affair that although well-executed, largely lacked the fire that they exhibited on 'Two Headed Monster' from 2008. There's fire aplenty though in 'Color of Nothing' and it begins with the aptly titled "Wake Up". If Collide's fans thought they had lost some of their industrial edge previously, I can tell you that it's back in full force now. The harder edge here is provided by the guitars of Kevin Kipnis (Purr Machine) and Scott Landes. Statik is still handling programming (electronics, percussion) and kaRIN has never sounded more seductively witchy. Something about the ways her voice was recorded on this album is really different. She is still immediately recognizable but there are places where her vocals are elusive as smoke. Statik incorporates a lot of melodic/rhythmic industrial loops on this album, perhaps more than he's ever used before. Where Collide had once flirted with taking over the mantle of the 90's band Curve (ie; The Secret Meeting - 'Ultrashiver') here on 'Color of Nothing' they do so forcefully and unapologetically. They even invited Dean Garcia back again to play bass on a track ("Fix"). This is a bigger, bolder and heavier album than they've ever done before. Although there's no definitive unified concept here, this is one of those albums that plays best as a whole rather than trying to pick some hit song, of which there isn't really one here. They're all good. Even though it took me a while to really get into 'Color of Nothing' it was worth it, and I think Collide's fans will think so too. It's an album that could only have been put out by a goth-industrial outfit of the calibre of Collide, and was worth the wait. I can only hope they'll feel like touring it.

We're excited to announce that we're launching a new PledgeMusic campaign for our new album. 

In the coming months, on our PledgeMusic site, we'll be posting news, and exclusive behind the scenes videos of what goes into finish the album.  On the site, you can pledge to see all of that, and receive a download of the album when it is finished.  Of course there are lots of other special items there, so check it out.

We are hoping for a May 2017 release.  We didn't want to say too much about it, until we were a little closer to being finished, but we are in the final stages.  We just have to finish vocals and a couple of songs, and then we will be working on artwork and mixing.
