Revered death metal / hardcore forerunners Frozen Soul unleash their fierce 53-second “Absolute Zero” – no bells, no whistles, just a punch to the gut. “More relevant than the day written – with all of the chaos happening in our country, with ICE killing and ripping apart families, ‘Absolute Zero’ comes as our stance against authoritarianism and the monsters that are enforcing it,” frontman Chad Green states. The sharp banger is an ode to Frozen Soul’s love of punk, hardcore and death metal. Its video clocks in at just over a minute and is straight to the point. Green tells, “I went and got the biggest sledgehammer I could find, and Sam [bassist] carved ‘icebreaker’ into it. We wrote a little message to the world on it—then I froze a skull I painted in my freezer, put it on a cinder block, and obliterated it. The best ice is crushed ice.”
Frozen Soul’s brand of all inclusive, in-your-face death metal is a gasp of fresh air in a genre that has stretched the very limits of technicality. Emerging from Texas’ underground, the band’s hardcore intentions gave way to their thrash / death metal roots and obsession with the old school sounds of Bolt Thrower, Mortician and Obituary. Their fresh and theatrical take on old school death metal has quickly won them generation-spanning fans worldwide, alongside sold out tours and support slots with an array of heavy staples like Dying Fetus, Blood Incantation, Obituary, Amon Amarth, Killswitch Engage and Napalm Death just to name a few. Across their breakout EP ‘Encased in Ice’ (2019) and two full-lengths ‘Crypt of Ice’ (2021), ‘Glacial Domination’ (2023), Frozen Soul continue to be hailed as one of the leading forces of metal’s next generation. In April they cross the states with Sweden’s Avatar and Fleshgod Apocalypse. For tickets go here. See below for a full list of dates.
