Frosthold

It seems so recently that it was the start of 2009, and here we are nearly half way through. Frosthold has gone a bit quiet recently, but that is because mid-April, I became father to my beautiful daughter, Freyja. Soon we will restart rehearsals and breathe life back into Frosthold, but for now we are on a temporary pause. We are also out of stock of CDs at the moment, and as soon as I have time I will get some more done so we can start shifting more. Thanks to everyone who already purchased one, either at the Cannibal Corpse gig or on our merch page. In the mean time, keep yourselves well, and enjoy the summer festival season.

Drink mead and thank the gods for another great year so far. Another update will come soon...

Wass Hael!

From The Dreaded Press:

Plucky locals Frosthold clearly planned to make the very best they could of what would be a dream slot for any young extreme metal band - supporting Cannibal Corpse is probably as close to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as it gets, especially in a venue as intimate as Portsmouth's Wedgewood Rooms. There's even a decent percentage of crowd to catch their set.

Their stage presentation may be a little polite and clean-cut for the genre, but their gritty and straight-faced approach to their music works pretty well. Frosthold bill themselves as the Anglo-Saxon answer to the Viking battle metal outfits, so the heavy martial rhythms and grinding guitar are accompanied by growled vocals about dawn raids by longboat and foraging in enemy territory. A bit more theatre might make the material more believable, but there's no mistaking their commitment - Frosthold may well be pillaging your village in the near future, so sharpen your scramasax.

So the show is over now, thanks to everyone who came and supported Frosthold and to those who bought a CD. Apologies to anyone who didn't get one, but don't forget you can still buy one from the Frosthold Merch store!

If any prospective reviewers, webzines, labels etc. would like a CD to review, please e-mail band@frosthold.com and we will gladly send you a CD.

Unfortunately the Cannibal Corpse gig is totally sold out now. We are only given a certain number of tickets, and we managed to get 10 more yesterday, but due to huge demand for the show, these were sold by yesterday afternoon.

Apologies for anyone who didn't get a ticket (and there were at least 5 people asking me!) - if we somehow come across some, we'll message each person individually!

The Cannibal Corpse show we're playing is very nearly sold out, and there are only a handful of tickets left.

If you still want one, get in touch with us ASAP either through the Frosthold Myspace or by e-mailing band@frosthold.com.
