Cold as Life
I really don't know if theres anything harder than this band or if there ever will be. Sure there's bands that weigh in heavy on the tuff-guy scale if
there is such a thing when you factor in all the urban myth type scene stuff...but pound for pound when it comes to dirty, scary unforgiving matter of
the fact shit....Cold as Life...

agreed.
although i think someone should remix Declination of Independence.
too much weird stuff going on with that album but there's some great tunes in there.

^^^^^^^^^^^ Ya, that sfor sure. The recording sucked but I always equated it to how fucked up the band was. So it fit well.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

A couple of those dude were real cool to hang with though. Jeff singer and Mike bass. Dude even gave me a shirt for hanging out and making fun of the
old WARRANT singer making bar food. Good show.

One of the best and most real bands to ever grace hardcore.

^^^^^^^ The opening track just gets you going just like the opening of B4B's SPIT MY LAST BREATH. Those 2 records which were released around the same
time kick so much angry- hate filled- frustration- bitter than a thousand granny smith apples- asses.

I remember being up in Windsor for a bit back in 98 and seeing a marquee that said Cold As Life on it at somethin that looked like an old school movie
theatre...I guess that makses sense being theyre from Detroit right? which is across the line from Windsor....
They really are heavier than balls....

Is it just me, or do the singer's vocals sound like they're processed in some way, like they used some kind of effect?

doubtful...every time I ever saw Cold As Life Jeff G could pull off those vocals perfectly live and sounded like whatever demo or record they had at
the time.

I don't doubt it, as they don't seem like the type of guys who would worry about such things. I just think his vocals sound processed at times.
Don't know why, just do.

I saw Cold As Life play a bunch of times in Detroit and Windsor. One of the best shows I ever went to was Cold As Life, One Life Crew and Krutch in
Detroit. That show was fucking insane.

Pretty sure Cold As Life was playing at the Kathedral once and I was actually there and left early before they went on. Back then I'd never heard of
them til about 1-2 months later when I checked it out. Still pissed that I left early.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I was at that show and remember seeing people leave before they came on and thought to my self. Why the fuck would anyone be leaving now? They killed
it by the way. In fact I don't even remember who else played that night.

I was told that they did use a vocal effect on his voice. Not sure what ,but they supposedly used a rig setup for the vocals.

God Forbid & No Warning come to mind, I think No Warning opened but no idea who was up before Cold As Life. My cousin came up to visit and was back
at my apartment waiting, and it was getting late so I just couldn't be bothered staying.
