This German Black Metal band is at once reminiscent of early Agalloch and that can’t be a bad thing. The band however is trying to find its own voice using the template, so to speak. It has a lot to express and goes about employing several acoustics parts and interludes if you will, to reach a point where it’s Black Metal primarily. That’s probably the only problem I have with this release is that it takes too lo...

Frigoris is a German metal band releasing their sophomore album. They were initially formed (2007) as a Pagan & Black Metal band, but steadily developed their sound. Now, it is mostly filled with a beautiful soundscapes and epic emotions.

Their sound nowadays is hard to categorize, but I would call it a melodic and atmospheric black metal. What we have here are eight majestic tracks that are ...

The taste of “Hypnotic Dirge Records” in Black Metal isn’t always easy to understand and be acceptable to me; however, they surely didn’t miss with this second album of German project Frigoris. This time it’s Black Metal based on pagan values and the majesty of nature. Actually it’s a direction taken by many bands of today (including many German ones), like Imperium Dekadenz. Meanwhile, in the case of Fr...

German band Frigoris received their start in 2007 and soon thereafter released their demo, Morgenröte, in 2008. In 2009 Dominik Winter did away with the three other members of his band due to internal differences. He formulated a new group, which consisted of two additional bodies, for the debut full-length album, Nach dem Kreig, which was released in 2010. After an additional line-up change which places three newcomers into th...

As a relatively young and unknown German band, Frigoris strikes with their second full-length album called "Wind", and shift the attention to themselves. Being boldly compared to old Agalloch, old Woods of Ypres and Imperium Dekadenz, "Wind" carefully threads a distinctive path of emotional, atmospheric melodic black metal, with a few pagan black metal touches.  The album delivers a strong emotional and natura...

At first I was suprised with German language and very melancholic guitars, then it has began. Simple, but not burish perfect guitar riffs, strong lyrics took me far far away into the dark and brutal tales of the "Wind”. And then I pressed play button... again...and again. I couldn't get enough of this music and grim, but very poetical stories. 

Frigoris is showing clearly that German language doesn't belongs to Rammstein and that good ...

Pagan Black Metal from Germany - this scene has certainly produced some excellent bands and albums, but also quite often in very large garbage is produced. Frigoris of food hit more on the latter side - though is their second album "Wind" was no big garbage without any bright spots, but it's also really, really not a good album. since switch to "wind" that is reasonably audible, but the majority also int...

Majestic Teutonic black metallers Frigoris return for their sophomore album and paint a soundscape of epic and forlorn emotions for nearly 50 minutes on Wind.  After cold, fragile acoustic guitars pull you into a world of natural beauty on Windgefluster, you are then transported to a field of darkness as Zwischenwelten unfolds.  Slowly drifting riffs flow in blackened, yet somehow folky rhythms while stony vocals drag across t...

Back to the Hypnotic Dirge Records with the third album released this summer, that of the Teutonic Frigoris. The band Dominik Winter (that there is a correlation between the name of the mastermind and how much of icy might evoke the name of the band?) Propina a concentration of black mid tempo very melodic guitars which in some ways may remember the song of the Dissection of the swan...

Moods massive, enchanting melodies and majesty, here is what is the new second album by German Frigoris. "Wind" was released for the Misanthropic Art Productions and consists of 7 songs plus intro for about 48 minutes and a half of a melodic black metal, not prone to attack front and mid tempos and more inclined to introspection. Nevertheless, the songs are not flat, they are not a bunch of homogeneity...

The German foursome of Frigoris came into motion back in '07, under the leadership of guitarist/vocalist Dominik Winter, although internal affairs in '09 forced the rest of the band out and Dominik began anew. At that point two demos had already been released, which was followed by the debut 'Nach dem Krieg' in '10 and most recently their second album 'Wind' through Misanthropic Art/Hypnotic Dirge Records.

German band Frigoris release their sophomore album on Hypnotic Dirge and the list of ‘for fans of’ appealed so here I am, eager. It opens as you might expect with a little soundscape, wind softly calling across the landscape, rustling trees and grass as the acoustic guitar plucks a pastoral tune before being swallowed by the rush of the blasting riff and the nicely howled vocals. It’s a good sound, and a nice if plainly p...
