FROST TEARS “Nine Chapters”

FROST TEARS
“Nine Chapters”
(Magnum)
This one came as a surprise to me. I had forgotten that I had been in touch with this Taiwanese band since I didn’t hear from but then all of a sudden two years after I contacted them initially in drops their album. And what an ambitious alvum it is. Packaged in a nice looking digi pak you get a full album of really cool gothic symphonic power metal as well as an extra disc containing extra songs and a video. Gothic symphonic power metal might seem like a twisted and bizarre way to describe FROST TEARS metal but once you have lent your ears to this album you will agree on the desciption. You get the gothic side, the symphonic side and the power metal side. But don’t go thinking that this is a Taiwanese Kamelot because that couldn’t be further from the truth. This is a really cool metal album that also happens to be nice to look at too. Anders Ekdahl
