Hard Cold Fire is the sixteenth studio album by Northern Irish rock band Therapy?, released on 5 May 2023 through Marshall Records.{{cite web|url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/therapy-share-new-single-joy-announce-hard-cold-fire-album-may-in-store-gigs|title=Therapy? share new single Joy, announce Hard Cold Fire album, May in-store gigs|website=Louder|last=Brannigan|first=Paul|date=11 March 2023|access-date=4 May 2023}} This is the band's first record since 2018's CLEAVE. The album was originally recorded in 2021, but was postponed to 2023 because of the long overdue "Love Your Early Stuff" tour in 2022. Only ten cuts were kept for the record despite there being somewhere around 20 tracks recorded/for demos. Through interviews, vocalist/guitarist Andy Cairns stated that the band wanted to come back from the COVID-19 lock-down with force and catharsis, and the outtakes were deemed too "depressing" to be a worthy comeback.
