Frostland are a band from Germany that plays a very raw, atmospheric and dissonant style of black metal and this is a review of t heir 2026 album "Im Zentrum der Leere" which will be released on October 30th by Höstljus Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams mixed in with a few growls while the album also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also gets very dissonant sounding and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding and most of the songs are also very long and epic in length, synths and spoken words can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover the cosmos, in all madness and depth with some inspirations from the writings of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion Frostland are a very great sounding raw, atmospheric and dissonant black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mare Imbrium" and "Unter dem Meer der Faulnis". 8 out of 10.
