A COLD PARADISE, the modern metal project led by powerhouse vocalist Antonio Calanna (known from ALL FOR METAL), has dropped its brand-new video single “Waking Up”. Following previously-released singles, the track marks one of the band’s most personal moments yet, and shows the project sharpening its mix of melodic heaviness, emotional grit, and cinematic intensity. With its powerful lyrics and moody atmosphere, “Waking Up” resonates with listeners craving honest reflection and atmospheric melodic metal sound.

Calanna explains the meaning behind the song in his own words:

“Waking Up is the moment A Cold Paradise truly opened its eyes. It’s a song about leaving the past behind, stepping out of the shadows, and finally chasing the rock’n’roll dreams we’ve carried for years. In a world, and especially in the metal scene, full of monsters you have to face, this track is our first real step forward. A huge thank you to Tim Hansen and Dominik Gusch, whose talent helped bring this song to life.”

After recently announcing their worldwide record deal with PERCEPTION – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music, A COLD PARADISE  now reveal a sing-through video for their brand-new single “Talking To The Moon”!

Following the explosive debut single, “El Perdón”, A COLD PARADISE takes a bold turn: the second single is a daring metal cover of Bruno Mars’ hit of the same name. With his trademark powerhouse vocals, Antonio Calanna — also known as the exceptional singer of ALL FOR METAL — transforms this smooth pop-R&B classic into an emotional metal anthem, blending melancholy with raw strength, resilience, and a rebellious edge.

“This time, it’s a chance to get romantic with a bit of power. ‘Talking To The Moon’ is one of those songs you wouldn’t normally imagine as a metal cover, but I took on the challenge of transforming one of the most vocally demanding songs for a male singer into something truly special for me,” Antonio reveals. “I wanted to preserve the song’s smooth and intense emotional core while bringing it into the metal world. I hope you’ll enjoy this new interpretation!”

To celebrate the release, Antonio went beyond a simple single drop and organized a special release party at Heimatrock in Ladenburg. The event drew an enthusiastic crowd and was close to selling out, reflecting the growing interest around  A COLD PARADISE and Antonio’s strong connection with his audience.
