The Hindsight Notes

Cold Night For Alligators are a respected and forward-thinking progressive metal outft from Copenhagen, Denmark. Swaying the world with their innovative take on progressive metalcore and playing numerous shows across Europe and even the far east of India, these guys are no freshmen. Having explored dense, technical prog metal on their two previous full- lengths, their new release The Hindsight Notes shows a more mature band with a cleaner, softer sound, focused on well- crafted, innovative songs with a progressive edge. The clean, minimalist aesthetic of the artwork covers a sprawling record which dials back the heaviness where needed to let the song- writing and myriad of creative details shine. Whether it’s moody synths, bouncy 8-string guitar grooves or tasteful, layered choir arrangements, the musical side of the bands captivates and shows a multi-faceted, creative outpouring without conventional limitations. This approach also shows in the lyrical and vocal tour-de-fource from frontman Johan Pedersen, dealing with personal trauma, hopes and doubts in a far more intimate and exposed way than what’s usually seen in the guarded prog metal genre
