12 Stones Release New Single “World So Cold” feat. Lyric Noel via Judge & Jury Records

 

Hard rock band 12 Stones have officially released their latest single “World So Cold,” featuring Lyric Noel, via Judge & Jury Records in partnership with SV Records. The track, produced by Howard Benson (Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, Skillet, Flyleaf), marks the band’s second release with the label.

 

Accompanying the release is an official music video, directed by Michael Levine of Levine Pictures, that vividly brings the song’s message to life. The visual narrative explores two contrasting sides of the main character. One side is consumed by anger and the other is weighed down by sadness and emotion.

 

Featuring Lyric Noel, “World So Cold” is a reignited version of the popular 12 Stones classic. Feeling that we had all lost our sense of humanity, Paul McCoy originally wrote the song in 2006 about the inconceivable tragedies of this world and, as he reflects now, the need for a song like this never truly went away. Almost 20 years later, this song is more relevant than ever.

 

 

The song is filled with candid lyrics, such as “What kind of world do we live in? // where love is divided by hate?” Heart-wrenching verses build up to explosive choruses, leaving behind a message that is certain to be remembered.

 

“’World So Cold’ is a song I wrote about my view of the world. I wrote this song almost 20 years ago about how messed up the world seemed to me. I can honestly say that I don’t feel like it’s gotten any better over the last 20 years. I remember sitting in the lounge of the music studio messing around with an acoustic guitar while the TV was on in the background. I saw a news story about another person on a shooting rampage, and in that moment, I just started singing the melody that became ‘World So Cold’. I realized that all humans can become a byproduct of their environments.  The song is about believing in hope in hopeless times,” says McCoy.

 

Lyric Noel adds, “I was incredibly honored that out of all the singers out there, they chose me to be part of the re-release of ‘World So Cold.’ It’s such a powerful song that already carries so much emotion and history, so getting the chance to lend my voice to it meant a lot to me. Filming the music video was an amazing experience, and the visuals really bring the story and atmosphere of the song to life in a beautiful way. Being part of this new chapter of ‘World So Cold’ alongside 12 Stones is something I’m truly grateful for.”

 

Founded by multi-platinum producer Howard Benson and Neil Sanderson (drummer and songwriter of Three Days Grace), Judge & Jury brings decades of success in the rock world, offering extensive promotional, production, and songwriting resources.

Rock and metal have long been perceived as a boys’ club, but Betsy Weiss never cared. Legends like Suzi Quatro, Doro Pesch, and Lita Ford get a ton of credit for paving the way, but leaving Betsy out of that conversation would be a mistake. With her band Bitch, Weiss is, and always will be, a fire-breathing demon. It’s why Brian Slagel made Bitch Metal Blade Records’ flagship band, and why Weiss endures in 2026. It’s with this in mind that Weiss beamed in with ClassicRockHistory.com to look back on one hell of a career. What are your earliest recollections
