Frosk - Stone Prison (full album, 2023)

I am very proud to present Stone Prison, the debut release from Frosk, released today - eponymous solo project from one half of Hekseblad, as well as the experimental amphibious Frog Mallet, and death metal band Groaning Retch. Most similar in sound to Hekseblad, Frosk is resolutely second wave worshipping old school black metal, that sounds like it was recorded in an abandoned shack in the depths of a wintery Norwegian pine forest – characterised by grim, nocturnal ice- and silvery moon curdled riffs, brittle, bitter tremolo leads ripped from guitars with dead-eyed menace, savage, nasty wraith-spite vocals and carboard boxy drums, battering the tracks along their victorious paths, with illuminating segues of vintage dungeon synth ambience. Self-released to an already sold-out run of hand-dubbed tapes during pre-order, I suspect this album will be in demand of another press once people get to hear it in full! Digital is available, from the Bandcamp, now:
