THERAPY? – HARD COLD FIRE – ALBUM REVIEW
Thankfully it feels like we are past having to talk about postponements and delays due to the pandemic, but the latest album from Therapy? is another little reminder of what weâve been through.
Recorded in November 2021, âHard Cold Fireâ is seeing the light of day now having been held back to allow the band to conclude their well received 30th Anniversary Tour. That tour celebrated the incredible journey the band have had; but a major part of their career has always been new music, so itâs fitting that they follow is up with another collection of fresh material.
In fact âHard Cold Fireâ is the bandâs 16th album given them an average output of an album just over every two years. Over such a sustained period this is a remarkable achievement, particularly over the past decade during which most acts of a similar ilk would have long slowed down.
Those live shows last year were a clear indication that the band wonât be slowing down anytime soon, either in work ethic or indeed sonically. The velocity at which the riffs on this album are delivered are echoed in the length of the record at just over the half hour mark.

Musically this is Therapy? at their very best and the album simply flies by with all ten tracks adding something to the album. There are some standout moments such as fantastic opener âThey Shoot the Terrible Masterâ, the juxtaposition of âWoeâ and âJoyâ and the stunningly titled âPoundland of Hope and Gloryâ (fitting on this coronation weekend!), but every track is a winner.
If the delivery rate for Therapy? albums is something to be admired, the consistency in quality truly must be revered. âHard Cold Fireâ isnât just âanother one for the collectionâ, this is another highly relevant and hard rocking exhibit in the case that Therapy? are one of the most criminally undervalued rock bands of the last three decades!
