Genre: Pagan Black Metal
Biography:
“Hailing
from the underground of Montoursville, Pennsylvania Frozen Mist started as a solo project by Orodreth in mid-February
2004. The name Frozen Mist came
about from smoking a cigarette in the cold, grim, snowy weather. Throughout the
years, Orodreth has been changing the sound of his music with very unique
extreme dark, death and pagan black metal attributes. To this day, Frozen Mist remains as the ONLY extreme
metal band in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania!”
Frozen Mist returns
with their 21st full length studio album, THE
TENALACH PROPHECY, to be released on the Capcomia Studios underground label
in spring 2016.

It
must be absolutely fantastic for a band to be the only extreme metal band around, and in
their home town too, which means they have full run of everything, but it must also have its drawbacks too!
It
is pretty common place that extreme metal only seems to be heard in some places
on the planet and not admired by many it seems, unless you live in places like
Finland or Sweden where it does seem to have a larger following, however,
thanks to the Internet, all corners of the globe can be reached and music can
be enjoyed from an arm chair, so sit back and watch this!

Frozen Mist’s new video
reminds me of a song that is the total opposite of Pagan Black Metal and it
goes “If you go down to the woods today be sure of a big surprise!” and this
isn’t a dig at the band either, before someone corrects me and has a go.
It
must be amazing to just lose yourself in those woods and be at one with nature
as well as having space to record a video, with no interruptions from passer-by’s.
Although coming across these three guys in the woods if not into the more
extreme type of music could scare you half to death, but for me I would be in
my element! – However not much chance of it happening in Liverpool that’s for
sure, with its concrete jungle and scally thugs galore!
Pagan
Black Metal is without a doubt bleak and cold, as it is intended to be. The
vocals most of the time, if not always, are incoherent and dismal, but never
lacking in passion or emotion, even if it is hate fuelled, but it can be a
thing of beauty too and can sometimes concentrate on the forests, runes, pagan
ancestry, the night, the moon, the stars and indeed the Autumn and Winter months,
which for Frozen Mist hold dear as
influences of their music, along with heaps of Maxwell House Master Blend coffee
and Warsteiner Dunkel beer!
Jamie
Orodreth Stonge has worked extremely hard, putting a lot into the making of Frozen Mist along with his two
companions Salmar and Daeron and together have created something so dark and
evil it defies its own terms.
It
epitomises raw and emotional imagination, gets under the skin and captivates
with intimidating desolate scenery that is strongly outlined in this video.
Transporting the listener to new minimalist territory with rousing vocals that
plead guilty for instantly making the ears bleed!
Even
with the sun shining its golden rays, Frozen Mist manage to make their video
menacing and intimidating turning the colour into black and white and their camera angles portray an eerie atmospheric presence,
backed up with some raucously deep probing rhythms and mighty earth shattering
vocals – the path is now clear cut, and it’s enough to wake all the witches of
a bygone era!
