Frosthold

German website Ice Vajal have recently put up a 7/10 review of our CD, When Brothers Fought In Arms...

It seems like yesterday I said the year was flying, and Frosthold has been dormant for quite some time now. Not long before the autumn leaves will fall. My daughter is already 4 months old, time is really flying.

However - I post with great news - that the CD When Brothers Fought In Arms is available once more in the merchanidse page. Please help support us by spreading the word and picking up a CD - they're only £4, so you have no excuses.

Until next time people... wass hael / James

I've been listening to...

• Opeth - Watershed
• Negura Bunget - Om
• Mael Mordha - Cluain Tarbh
• I - Between Two Worlds
• Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
• Carcass - Swansong
• Tyr - By The Light Of The Northern Star
• Forefather - Steadfast
• Mayhem - Chimera
• Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

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.
