Your Demise are a band that, despite not having been around that long, have a few major career talking points. They’ve also developed a fairly large and loyal fan base too. With their original vocalist, George Noble, Your Demise produced some simple, yet effective hardcore. Noble left the band after their first album however, and was replaced with former Centurion frontman Ed McRae. This saw a slight change of direction for the band, in which they now began to focus a little more on melody. They then released ‘The Kids We Used To Be‘ studio album through Visible Noise in 2010, which comprises some of Your Demise’s best material to date. This led to much excitement about their last release ‘The Golden Age‘ which came in 2012, however, they took the melody aspect too far and ultimately released a dreadful album by their standards.
‘The Golden Age‘ saw somewhat of a backlash against Your Demise. Despite this, Your Demise still stuck up for ‘The Golden Age’, however I think the release of this new EP ‘Cold Chillin‘ proves otherwise. Right from the first minute of opening track ‘Karma‘, the lead single of the EP, you can just tell that this is well above the standard of ‘The Golden Age‘. The four tracks on this EP are on a par with some of the best material Your Demise’s have ever written.
‘Cold Chillin‘ has raised the standard, and therefore the anticipation for Your Demise’s next full length album, and it’s definitely very exciting to hear what comes next from the band.
