Cold Sweat – Break Out (Release Year – 1990)
Cold Sweat is a five piece hard rock band that recorded one CD in 1990 on MCA Records.
This band features former Keel guitar player Marc Ferrari, ex-Wasted guitarist Erik Gamans, bassist Chris McLernon, drummer Anthony White, and singer Rory Cathey.
There was some stink between Cold Sweat and Lynch Mob for a while as Oni Logan who was the
original singer, defected to go sing for George Lynch on the day Cold Sweat was to sign with MCA.
Break Out is a very solid 80’s style hard rock disc that is often forgotten about. Marc Ferrari’s guitar work on this CD is superb. This disc doesn’t have a band song on it, and even features a writing credit on Four on the Floor by current KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer.
Let’s Make Love Tonight
This disc has it all! A great power ballad in Waiting in Vain, and a bunch of excellent hard rockers: Four on the Floor, Take This Heart of Mine, Let’s Make Love Tonight and Fistful of Money. This disc also has a pretty cover of the Foghat song, I Just Want to Make Love To You.
This long out of print CD often sells for 20 or more dollars on EBay, but can often be found for lesser amounts. It is a disc well worth seeking out if you are a fan of 80’s hard rock and glam metal. Buy Break Out if you can! You will love it!

They were acutually dropped the day that MTV put the video for Let Make Love Tonight in regular rotation. Just another fine example of why MCA is considered the Music Cemetary of America by alot of bands.

Now would you rather drive a Ferrari or play with Marc Ferrari?
Marc Ferrari said the label dropped them like very shortly after they released their album. They were in the middle of opening for Dio and had to pull off the tour. A shame they didn’t get more of a chance.
I love Cold Sweat! I agree with you, that was an awsome album! To bad they didn’t have more. My favorite song on it is “Take This Heart Of Mine”. Another good track is “Lovestruck”!
