I saw this being praised heavily in a death metal group I'm in and decided to check it out. I have to say, I'm not really blown away by anything here. It starts off alright, but Frozen Soul is a death metal band in every sense of the word. They don't really do anything new or unheard of, they just play textbook death metal. Throw in some chuggy riffs here, start to play fast here, and call it a day. It's not bad really, but some tracks (especially near the end) leave me asking "that was ... read more
