Review from The Infernal Symphonies

One of the great things about metal is discovering new bands, not just those placed in front of you by the bigger labels but those lesser known artists who deserve to be heard. Likewise, it is also important to support the smaller, independent labels who toil away in relative obscurity yet show a clear passion for the music.

My point? Thanks to Hypnotic Dirge, a label who always impresses with their shrewd choices as to who to...

Album Reviews make twice as much fun when you know what to expect. So I was on Ragnarock 2013 Frigoris already experience and goutieren some songs in the current plate and second plate "wind" live. Frigoris are at least visually not the typical Black Metal.

Without corpsepaint cliche but with the more "melodic" the guys in the division cut-Depressive Black Metal Melodic and remind me of the pl...

Frigoris is a pagan/black metal from Germany, with German lyrics, sometimes reminding me of Dornenreich. The music and production is executed in a very good manner and there are not many things to complain about there. However the songwriting is the largest drawback with this album.

For me it is almost impossible to stay focused during the entire album. I’ve tried and tried, I’ve listened so many times now, just to reall...

Almost every time I stop by a German Metal band I never get disappointed and FRIGORIS is no exception, add to it that the integrality of the lyrics in this Pagan gloomy album are in German, a thing that accentuates the common fact that this language is most fit for Rock and Metal. Indeed, from the first glimpse into the artwork (where a wide field of cereals is yielding) can tell it all, alongside the album intro where wind sound...

The album starts with a very nice acoustic intro that slowly builds a very nice
atmosphere. After hearing it, I was really looking forward to what the rest of the
album will sound like. Sadly the second song "Zwischenwelten" didn't really give me
anything, there is a nice acoustic part in the song but overall it's nothing really
special.

But now, looking back when I first heard this album the song title "Zwischenwelten" can

Dominik Winter rules the roast in Frigoris. In 2007 he founded this atmospheric black metal project and since then many band members have come and go. Wind happens to be the second full length album and the successor of Nach Dem Krieg (2010). Recorded at famous Gernhart Studios with producer Martin Buchwalter, the four-piece active on this album has created a melancholic record with a grand atmosphere. However it shows the...

Frigoris is a German pagan black metal band formed back in 2007 by Dominik Winter. After the demo “Morgenröte” in 2008 and several line-up changes, the band self-released its debut full-length album “Nach dem Krieg…” in 2010. The line-up changes never stopped for the band, but they didn’t give up. In the end of 2012 they signed a one-record deal with the Canadian label Hypnotic Dirge Records and the South Korean ...

"Wind" is German Frigoris other fuldlængdes. I do not know their first disc, but this one is not quite so crazy. The genre has, by its own admission a mix between black metal and pagan metal, and this really is very good.

From the lands of Germany there comes the music of Frigoris , training pagan / black metal on her second album with Wind , album released in June for the Hypnotic Dirge Records .

A great product of extreme metal and air pollution, which plunges us with taste, making use of ideas very close to folk metal, in a musical landscape of pure aggression but also decadent melancholy. A journey through vast...

German group (not change) Black Metal inspired by "pagan" Frigoris released his first album in 2010 with a rather average. In fact, that made ​​way for Nach dem Krieg  ! On the 2010 album, the style is quite hesitant despite some good parts (particularly the acoustic guitar), with a little chopped musical construction and consistency is lacking.

I have a soft spot for bands that sing in German, especially black metal and neofolk. So this disc mix of both styles, (but not exactly neofolk acoustic guitars have a role) painted quite palatable. 

"Wind" is the second album by the Germans Frigoris. In 2009, two demos, Winter, vocalist and guitar, made the other members, and apparently has given good results, while this album is the re...

It is these moments when you simply must force off an album. Not because you can not bear it. The contrary, it puts it all without expectations in the CD player and wants to hear it by the way, you actually have to do something else. And then directs the music but always of what we wanted to do down because they seduced over and again to listen more closely and are yielding to the back, then you can...

The second full-length of Frigoris really gave me a lot. A summary of the methodology German / Austrian to be creepy, the exemplification of all that it means melodic / melancholic within the extreme. It 's very hard for me to tell you about this work just for her to be enslaved in a complete manner to that thing called "feeling". A roller melodic and endured that it sweeps away thanks to a black meta...

I needed something to smile as I entered the band name into the form of a, ahem, very well-known search engine. In the ranking ranked in the top row, the "Frigoris AG Refrigeration" one. How to match the melodic black metal I thought. However, I can "wind" (release date 07.06.2013) is anything but cold. Frigoris focus on guitar-driven, melodic melancholy music ála a Insomnium mixture with which they h...

Germany’s Frigoris started off as your fairly standard pagan/black metal band, but over time has transitioned into a melodic black metal group that places emphasis on soaring melodic passages and an entrancing atmosphere. It’s not that different from the transition some of the other acts in the genre have gone through as they have reached for more expansive ideas, but Frigoris’ sophomore effort Wind goes for a slightly different ap...

Arriving this June on Hypnotic Dirge Records and Misanthropic Art Productions we have Frigoris and their sophomore release “Wind”. Perfectly mixing acoustic guitars with melancholic Black Metal, the band creates a very powerful and emotional atmosphere around their songs. Hailing from Germany, this band is an ideal match for fans of bands like Agalloch, Fen, and Woods of Ypres, and older Empyrium.

Frigoris began as a pagan black metal band but then later added in an array of elements as head, Dominik Winter, thought the band could do more, and so it has become something much more. Wind was proposed to be by the band and I am sure glad they did.  Before then I had no idea the band existed but now I am becoming an avid fan of their work.  As time went on I caught myself listening to the new album, Wind, time and time a...

There comes a time where those who perceive must question the idealism found in “beauty”. Is it a rose, a glistening sunrise on a picturesque beach or the deep rumble of an American muscle car? Everybody has an opinion that will differ from the next. This extends into, “how is it beautiful?” Rather than focusing on the simpler but unjustified, “yes it is a work of beauty”. More often than not, people are going to see t...
