The stories behind The Coldest Thing in the Room

• Liner Notes: What Makes "The Coldest Thing in the Room" Black Metal — Blast beats, buzzing tremolo guitars and a deliberately cold mix, and how this take ends louder than the other.
• The Coldest Thing in the Room: What an MRI Quench Actually Is — A black-metal hymn to the button every MRI tech hopes never to press explains a real, rarely used emergency shutdown.

Lyrics

Wild and wild

Colder than the winter night

In the upright The frozen river

Underneath The humming sliver

How it turns the whole night through

Keeping the deep cold locked and true

It's the coldest in the room

Quieter than the winter sky

A button waits that no one wants for a night

We hope will pass us by

breathless steam

Climbing fast to save the room

Then runs upward,

tested clean

So the frost won't see how I do

It's the coldest day in the room

Quieter than the winter sky

One button waits and no one wants

For a night we hope will pass us by

I have stood beside the frost alone

And never touch the door

I hope I never have to

be

The one Who needs

it More

It's the coldest thing in the room

Quieter than the winter sky

We're but weights that no one wants for a night

We hope we'll pass us by I

can't feel inside the

corner

Call slaves And we stand by
