Your Demise was a UK-based hardcore punk band that emerged from the English hardcore scene with a vigor that captured fans from multiple subgenres of punk and metal. Formed in St Albans in 2003, the band drew initial influences from hardcore punk and later infused their sound with a blend of melodic elements, distinguishing their style within the hardcore community. Over the years, the lineup saw several changes, with Ed McRae becoming the definitive voice of the band as lead vocalist after joining in 2007 until their eventual break-up.

Your Demise gained a reputation for their energetic live shows and relentless touring schedule, which helped cultivate a dedicated fan base. Their discography represents a progression in their musical journey, with early releases like "Blood Stays on The Blade" and "Ignorance Never Dies" reflecting a raw intensity that defined their sound. By the time they put out their more refined albums, "The Kids We Used To Be" and "The Golden Age," the band had matured, incorporating a wider array of influences and lyrical depth into their work. The two variations of "Cold Chillin'"—likely referring to a single and an associated EP—exemplify Your Demise's ability to blend aggression with catchy hooks, further demonstrating their versatility as a band. Despite disbanding in 2014, Your Demise left an indelible mark on the hardcore scene, influencing new generations of punk and metal enthusiasts.
