█ █ █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ ItÆs quite difficult to obtain background information about █ █
█ █ this band. They never send any lifesign before PRAEKOSMIUM, █ █
█ █ you wonÆt find any information on the founding date or █ █
█ █ anything else. The only real information you can obtain █ █
█ █ consist of one foto of the only person behind the band and, █ █
█ █ as a logic consequence, the fact, that he has done █ █
█ █ everything on his own (well, there were some session █ █
█ █ musicians involved recording this record). The debut record █ █
█ █ of this german band consists of ôonlyö five tracks, but it █ █
█ █ still offers a total playing time of round about 45 █ █
█ █ minutes. █ █
█ █ You could describe the record as two-parted (although these █ █
█ █ parts are mixed). The five tracks of the record are divided █ █
█ █ into two instrumentals, one outro track and, as the core of █ █
█ █ the record (as both tracks are quite overlong) , two ôrealö █ █
█ █ tracks. One of these core pieces starts the record, its █ █
█ █ named Die Architektur des Seins and it covers 15 whole █ █
█ █ minutes of the total playing time. This song starts quite █ █
█ █ calm but soon gets transformed into something darker, █ █
█ █ melancholic which resembles the main part of the track. You █ █
█ █ could easily say, that this track is the centerpiece û the █ █
█ █ soul û of the whole record, as it covers the whole music █ █
█ █ spectrum FrostSeele can offer in itÆs finest quality. █ █
█ █ The song offers everything pending from really catchy riffs █ █
█ █ featuring screamed vocals to some calmer moments, which █ █
█ █ continue the theme of the opening. These quite different, █ █
█ █ but still matching, parts prevent the song from becoming █ █
█ █ boring, although it had itÆs highlight û without any doubt █ █
█ █ û right in the middle of the track. The only real flaw in █ █
█ █ this song might be the long-drawn instrumental at the end █ █
█ █ of the track. The other songs feature the same █ █
█ █ base-quality, but they lack something else, which diminish █ █
█ █ the general impression. █ █
█ █ The main symptom found in these tracks is the lack of █ █
█ █ highlights, respectively the lack of really catching riffs. █ █
█ █ The two instrumental tracks are quite varied and well done, █ █
█ █ but they didnÆt manage to create something really catchy. █ █
█ █ Of course itÆs always difficult to create a striking good █ █
█ █ song without vocals, but the long playing time took itÆs █ █
█ █ toll. The second ôrealö track Du has another little flaw in █ █
█ █ the middle section, as the song becomes really slow paced █ █
█ █ and nothing really happens in this long-drawn period █ █
█ █ (although IÆm quite aware of the fact, that this passage █ █
█ █ fits quite well into the concept of the track, but itÆs █ █
█ █ still too boring.). The production is quite good, besides █ █
█ █ the fact that it lacks the low frequencies, which causes █ █
█ █ the bassdrum to be too subtle at times. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Conclusion: █ █
█ █ FrostSeele released a really striking debut record █ █
█ █ basically out of nowhere! The tracks are quite varied and █ █
█ █ well done, but all of them suffer from one or another flaw █ █
█ █ like the lack of highlights or really catchy riffs that █ █
█ █ canÆt be balanced by the good basic quality the songs have. █ █
█ █ This record contains a mix of melodic black metal and █ █
█ █ atmospheric/ambient music, that surely isnÆt new but really █ █
█ █ well done. You loved Daemmerfarben? Then you will love █ █
█ █ FrostSeele too! █ █
