Cold As Life was a hardcore punk band hailing from Detroit, Michigan, revered in the underground music scene for their raw and unfiltered take on the hardcore genre. Emerging in the late 1980s, they cut their teeth in a city known for its gritty resolve, which bled into their music, creating a legacy of intense and brutally honest soundscapes. Their works, such as "Born to Land Hard" and the reflective "In Memory of Rodney A. Barger (1970-1993)," honor the memory of their fallen founding member and serve as a defiant outcry against the adversities they faced.

Cold As Life's reputation was solidified by their authentic depiction of street life and the struggles inherent to the working class. Their music catalog, including the raw energy captured in "Demos 1988-93" and "Demos 1995-97," showcases the band's evolution while maintaining the core elements of aggression and survivalist themes that defined the group. Songs like "I Can't Breathe" continue to resonate with audiences, articulating the never-ending plight against oppression and the band's relentless spirit. Even as the years have passed, Cold As Life maintains a cult following, their music a testament to the heart and tenacity of Detroit's hardcore scene.
