Frozen Soul + Creeping Death

Frozen Soul offers a very tasty slice of old school death metal. Their 2021 debut, “Crypt of Ice”, caused an immediate shockwave upon its release. Fans have been waiting with baited breath for its successor. With the help of co-producer and guest musician Matt Heavy (Trivium), the Texan band managed to surpass expectations. “Glacial Domination” is an incredible record. Led by the bellowing vocals of Chad Green, which are sometimes downright filthy and eerie, Frozen Soul marches through the metal landscape in a way that reminds us of the good old days. The five-piece band doesn’t do anything new, but has found a way to perfect the familiar formula in a way that won over tons of death metal fans.

Just like with Frozen Soul, Creeping Death is inspired by death metal from the eighties and nineties. The riffs on their latest album “Boundless Domain” are massive, while singer Reese Alavi’s vocals are screechy in the best tradition of Benediction, Autopsy and Obituary. It is not that surprising that Corpsegrinder of Cannibal Corpse joins in on vocals for the song ‘Intestinal Wrap’. The songs of these Americans are exactly what you’d want from a death metal band. All you can do is headbang!

Tonight’s opening act with be the Finnish band Foreseen, which offers a worked-up, straight-forward mix of thrash and death. Their latest album is aptly titled “Untamed Force”, as if Venom and Hellhammer have welcomed a vile new nephew into their family.

The horror of HP Lovecraft, philosophical absurdism, and existentialism are sources of inspiration for American death-doom metal band Phobophilic. They don’t get any heavier and blunter than this. Enjoy!
