Cold Dead Hands started with Ian Strung, the band's singer, primary songwriter, and sole guitarist. Since the mid-1990's, Ian had been writing alternative rock songs and honing his instrumental skills, looking for the right band to perform and record with. In 2004, Ian met Cold Dead Hands members Robin Deyong and original drummer Elena Silina at the Trebas Institute in Toronto. The two players knew they wanted to be in a band, and enjoyed Ian's original demoes enough to give him a chance.
