Архив новостей | Русская версия
Dallas, Texas's beloved death metal/hardcore unit FROZEN SOUL has announced "No Place Of Warmth", a monolithic, majestic and exigent collection of anthems built on the perfect blend of ferocity and subtle melody, allowing soaring guitar leads to guide a lantern through the dark chasm of merciless riffs. Across its third full-length studio album, FROZEN SOUL tells tales of the dark territories that come with dealing with the everyday struggle. It surveys the wasteland in the wake of their triumph and is an open letter to fans that decries life's cold realities yet gives them the tools and the motivation to conquer on their own.
Album opener and title track "No Place Of Warmth" features Gerard Way (MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE) and is "about life at its coldest and the choice you have to let it consume you, or to use it to find warmth in a world that feels void of it. Life is always coming at you, and death doesn't stop — you might slow it down, but it's always coming — so you have to make the best out of it and march on," reveals FROZEN SOUL vocalist Chad Green.

Green collaborated with director Brendan McGowen to bring the concept of "No Place Of Warmth" to life visually. Actor London Smith from FROZEN SOUL's 2023 "Morbid Effigy" returns, this time to play Death.
"The lead character attempts to keep her dagger with rosary beads away from Death, as a stand to say we won't be afraid of what's coming and we will live happy with the memories and experiences of our time here," Green explains.
Of the collaboration with Way, Green adds: "We met Gerard a couple of years ago and have become friends. I knew he had a love for metal, so I spun the idea to him about singing in a FROZEN SOUL song and he was stoked! Gerard is an amazing artist and musician whose creative vision has shaped generations and more to come."
"No Place Of Warmth (feat. Gerard Way)" is available today across all digital platforms and is the follow up to FROZEN SOUL's 53-second anti-authoritarianism anthem "Absolute Zero" which was released earlier this month.
"No Place Of Warmth" will be released on May 8 via Century Media Records.
In five short years, FROZEN SOUL's brand of all inclusive, in-your-face death metal has captured the attention of countless fans of extreme music globally. Their latest entry, "No Place Of Warmth", is their most definitive and defiant record to date. At the center of it all is vocalist Chad Green, whose sandpaper-y bellow sits somewhere between spiritual guide, dungeon master and soothsayer, delivering tales of unending battles and vanquishing foes. Musically, "No Place Of Warmth" is staunchly death metal, leaning into the unchecked aggression of hardcore punk while maintaining the band's Texas-sized sound mixing classic American death metal (OBITUARY, CANNIBAL CORPSE, MORTICIAN, MORTA SKULD) and early Earache ruination (CARCASS, BOLT THROWER).
FROZEN SOUL's fresh and live theatrical take on old-school death metal has earned them 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. Their breakout EP, "Encased In Ice" (2019),and two full-lengths, "Crypt Of Ice" (2021) and "Glacial Domination" (2023),a festival of their own in Wrecking Ball Metal Madness, and now "No Place Of Warmth", cement FROZEN SOUL as a leading force of metal's next generation. This April they will cross the States with Sweden's AVATAR and FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE.
