What Listeners Are Saying About Cold Arc’s “Broken Signal”:
Cold Arc is a modern nu-metal band creating heavy alternative music for fans of Deftones, Glassjaw, and early Linkin Park. Founded by FORM, a veteran of the early 2000s nu-metal scene, Cold Arc blends downtuned guitars, electronic textures, and atmospheric production into a sound that’s both familiar and urgent.
After years touring the underground heavy music circuit and nearly a decade away from music working in audio production, FORM returned with “Broken Signal”—Cold Arc’s debut concept album exploring themes of mental health, fractured identity, and emotional collapse. Written and recorded over three years, the album draws from ’90s and 2000s alternative metal while pushing the genre forward with modern production techniques.
“Broken Signal” is available now on all streaming platforms and vinyl. The album features ten tracks of dense, atmospheric nu-metal meant to be experienced front to back—a continuous emotional arc for fans of concept albums and heavy music with substance. Standout tracks include [single names if you have them], blending crushing riffs with vulnerable lyrics about isolation, control, and the search for meaning.
FORM recorded the entire album in his home studio, handling guitars, bass, vocals, and production. The sound is intentionally raw—controlled on the surface, unstable underneath—emphasizing space and tension over polish. This is nu-metal for people who lived through the genre’s first wave and still believe in its power.
