I’ve dug pretty deep through the tunnels of melodic black metal, and Frigoris serves to remind me that discovering more acts of high quality in this field prevents the process from getting tiresome. Stumbling upon a good one is among my favourite cathartic moments in experiencing music. The substance, the moods, and the careful balance between tranquil and monstrous is what this emotionally charged offshoot of bleak heaviness...

Frigoris aus Essen kenne ich noch aus meiner Zeit bei Black Horizonz, da wir damals mit ihnen ein paar Gigs gespielt hatten. Damals waren sie noch eine Pagan-/Black Metal-Band, heute geht es mehr in Richtung Post-Black Metal. Ich finde ja nach wie vor, dass „Post“ im Black Metal-Bereich immer noch eine Art Schimpfwort ist. Dennoch machen Frigoris ihre Sache richtig gut, denn sie haben immer noch viel Atmosphäre in ihrer Musik,...

Emotionally draining, emotionally harrowing and emotionally horrifying, Firgoris’ understand atmospheric black metal. They have clear grasp on how to be both ugly and beautiful and the same time. We have mellow passages of melody that eases the pain and suffering caused by the ugliness of the black metal. Scarring heaviness that pours from troubled souls, the chaotic rhythm is saved by the sadness cover...

Eén momentje, stil zijn. In dit eenvoudig zinnetje, weliswaar in het Duits te vertalen dan, zitten de twee laatste platen vervat van het ijskoude post-blackmetalgezelschap Frigoris. Via het Canadese Hypnotic Dirge records bereikt … In Stille mij. En om met de deur in huis te vallen, heerlijk plaatje! Je zou direct een heleboel lawaai willen maken, maar dat past niet echt. Vrolijkheid, uitbundigheid en blijdschap zijn niet direct de...

I tedeschi Frigoris ritornano con il loro quarto album “…In Stille” concludendo il concept cominciato nel 2016 con “Nur Ein Moment…”. La nuova fatica in studio uscirà il 24 gennaio per Hypnotic Dirge Records, e il risultato è di buona fattura. Autori di un post-black metal a volte descritto come atmospheric, a volte come melodic, in verità unisce tantissime diverse influenze che andremo ad analizzare in seguito. I Frigoris ...

Frigoris’ brand of black metal doesn’t really bite in the way you expect black metal to. On their fourth album, …In Stille, the german outfit continue to hone their sound so that it’s not one of jagged edges, but a fine, carefully worked blade. It’s well produced, trading in that traditional harsh, trebly coating for a warm, full low end and smooth guitar tones. It washes over you gently, it doesn’t bowl you over. That’s ...

This is the fourth album from Frigoris, an atmospheric post-black metal band from Germany.

Frigoris’ post-black metal is atmospheric and immersive, and as you journey across this 65-minute album, you’ll also discover aspects of doom, progressive metal, and post-rock that are incorporated into the music’s textured tapestry.

The well-crafted songs are dark and filled with a sense of melancholy and sorrow. These are long songs stee...

Konzeptalben, die sich über zwei Platten ziehen und dadurch Tiefgang erzeugen (wollen), sind in neuerer Zeit nicht allzu weit verbreitet. Frigoris haben sich nach ihrem Stilwechsel von Pagan auf Post-Black Metal im Jahre 2016 aber für genau diesen Weg entschieden und präsentieren uns mit „…in Stille“ den zweiten Teil einer äußerst melancholischen Reise durch den modernen Black Metal.

Jedoch schien das Konzept auch schon b...

And so, here we are with Frigoris, and their album In Stille. With so many extreme bands falling into the category of post this that and the other, sounding fairly generic with very few unique or distinctive aspects to their music the trouble is that artists of this ilk often sound as if very little thought has gone into the work other than to make epic tracks with a duration of anything from five to 25 minutes. So, with Frigoris...

FRIGORIS is a Post Black metal band rooted in the heart of the ruhr-area, Germany. From their Facebook page, “the combination between Black Metal riffing and craftsmanship as well as a postmodern approach towards atmosphere and lyrics form a synthesis that results in long, atmospheric but melodious songs. The isolation and depression in modern society, the beauty of nature and a last pure shimmer of hope left are all tropes you can f...
