While<em> &#8216;Nocturnal&#8217;<\/em> stomps and judders in contrast to the somewhat tranquil <em>&#8216;Get Rid of the Walls&#8217;<\/em>. Throughout,\u00a0they show a flair for focused songwriting and larger soundscapes, resulting in a record that keeps you guessing from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly,\u00a0<b>Cold Night For Alligators<\/b><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>3 amongst its five members. For this edition of <em>&#8220;Influences&#8221;<\/em>, they&#8217;ve picked out a mix of bands and musicians they&#8217;ve looked up to since forming a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/user\/alreadyhearduk\/playlist\/45v1cJxVI5rhblMmblxym4\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Tobias \u00d8rnes Andersen (Shining, Ihsahn and Ex Leprous)<\/h2>\n<p><em>Christian Alexander Minch (Bass): I\u2019m respectfully looking past dividing instruments into certain groups, and mainly focusing on my own instrument. Tobias is one of the most talented musicians out there. Hands down &#8211; and he is a great guy! A huge inspiration for what I\u2019m trying to achieve musically.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Tides From Nebula<\/h2>\n<p>Kristoffer Winther Jessen (Guitars): <em>Tides From Nebula have been a huge inspiration for me, especially how they incorporate many different atmospheres and emotions in their music. As a guitarist, I focus my listening on their guitars and they use many different pedals and effects to create different tones, which make them a really interesting listen. This inspires our music, as we aim to be diverse in our writing.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Per M\u00f8ller Jensen (The Haunted)<\/h2>\n<p>Nikolaj Sloth Lauszus (Drums): <em>Ever since The Haunted first blew me away 13 years ago, Per M\u00f8ller Jensen has been one of my favourite drummers. \u2018rEVOLVEr\u2019 and \u2018The Dead Eye\u2019 are still among my favourite albums, and his drumming on them is so controlled, well-rounded and musical.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Martin Lopez (Opeth)<\/h2>\n<p>Nikolaj Sloth Lauszus (Drums): <em>I&#8217;ve probably stolen more licks from Martin Lopez than any other drummer. I&#8217;m still envious of how tasteful and purposeful his drumming is in both Opeth and Soen. Opeth&#8217;s \u2018Ghost Reveries\u2019 is a tour-de-force and he absolutely slays on the opening track.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The Contortionist<\/h2>\n<p>Roar L.A. Jakobsen (Guitars): <em>Robby Baca (guitarist) and the gang always build a universe consisting of interesting harmonies and odd meters, which never stops tickling the ear and creates a lust for more. As a listener, you are never bored, and I try to recreate that feeling when I write chord progression.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Greg Puciato<\/h2>\n<p>Johan Pedersen (Vocals): <em>Greg Puciato first blew me away with his diversity and his live performance. I really got into Dillinger 4-5 years ago but he\/they keep growing on me, and Greg\u2019s new project (The Black Queen) just shows off his diversity even more. The thing that inspired me for this album was his approach to dealing with recordings. He once discussed in an interview about how if it doesn&#8217;t work after a couple of tries, then most times he&#8217;ll go for something else. I really tried using this mantra when we recorded this album, and it gave me much more freedom and confidence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Cold Night For Alligators - Violent Design (Official Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pvjJUCq-OGw?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;Fervor&#8217;<\/i> by <b>Cold Night For Alligators<\/b> is out now on <b>Long Branch Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Cold Night For Alligators<\/b> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/coldnightforalligators.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cnfadk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cnfaband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copenhagen quintet Cold Night For Alligators have a wide pallet of sounds and styles.
