Cold As Life was born in Detroit, USA, in 1988 but then they
were more of a punk band. Cold As Life of today are luckily heavier and more
interesting with a stronger metal edge. They have fought hard to get where
they are today and have been tried like few others when their vocalist Rawn
was shot dead in 1993. That´s life in the big and beautiful car-producing
Detroit... Musically Cold As Life can be compared with bands like Pantera and
Machine Head because they have that undefinable but characteristic American
sound. Perhaps they are a little harsher than these two and the vocals are
more hardcore-ish. There are a few things that stops them from being among the
best in the genre. The first is that the vocals are a little weak and not
powerful enough at times. Secondly the never-ending pounding becomes a little
monotonous in some songs and eventually tiresome. However the album is very
well-produced and a couple of tracks like "I Can´t Breath" and "My Prayer"
shows the true capacity of this talented but yet rather unknown band. Not a
real masterpiece yet but the aggressiveness and anger on this album is a lot
more interesting than most other unsigned bands today. Cold As Life is a band
to look out for and the fact that they have toured Europe and played at the
Dynamo Open Air anno 1999 should tell you a little about the quality of their
music.
