A live video was released in November. [5]

Composition

Labelled as a "punishing anthem", [6] the song has been considered "a more mainstream and hard rock style" than the previously released single "You'll Never Find Me", [1] and as "one of the band's more experimental offerings". [7]

Reception

"Cold" was ranked 18th in Consequence of Sound's Top 30 Metal + Hard Rock Songs of 2019. [8] It was also ranked 11th in Kerrang's ranking of The 20 greatest Korn songs. [9]

A negative review of the song came from Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks, who otherwise praised the visualizer, recommending readers "[put] the video on mute and [listen] to something else while you watch it". [10]
