Cold Therapy (band)

Wolański began releasing music in 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 in 2010.[4] Shortly after that, his work on Unsinn ended in a controversial manner:[5] "[H]e 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 concentrated more on making music suitable for dancefloors and DJ sets. As Traumatize, from 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 a change, founded Cold Therapy. This was the moment he decided to make more old-school Dark Electronic music.[10]

He stated in an interview: "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] the band was joined by a new main vocalist, Jan R., and female secondary vocalist Jen. They then released the EP Carnival of Lies[13] and the full album Masquerade Infinite.[14] But on March 10, 2016, both left Cold Therapy and Wolański returned to working solo. On November 14, 2016, he released another full-length album, Figures and Faces.

Masquerade Infinite is currently the most successful release of Cold Therapy has received many positive reviews, for example from 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] and 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 4th position on the German Electronic Charts (GEWC)[19] and entered the TOP 50 Bestsellers ranking on POPoNAUT,[20] being in 43rd place.

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

Cold Therapy has been signed to Advoxya Records[21] since March 22, 2015.[22]
