"Cold" was how Crossfade introduced themselves: the American band's first single, issued on Columbia in 2004 as the opening shot from their debut album. It landed hard, climbing to number two on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and number three on Mainstream Rock Tracks, sneaking into the Hot 100 at 81 and eventually going gold with the RIAA. By May 2005 it had even reached 47 on Sweden's Hitlistan.
Martin Weisz directed the video, and it keeps the temperature low. The band grinds away in a darkened room of a house while a woman, played by Beau Garrett, wanders in and watches for a while, then walks up to Ed Sloan, who ignores her and keeps playing. She packs a bag, and a photo of the two of them ends up in the toilet, which says everything about where that relationship stands.
