Frozen Wreath - Mea Culpa - Reviewed By occultblackmetalzine ! check it out here http://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/

 Frozen  Wreath  are  a  duo  From  Hungary  that  has  had  music  reviewed  before  in  this  zine  and  on  this  recording  plays  a  very  atmospheric  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2023  album  "Mea  Culpa"  which  was  released  by  Filosofem  Records.


  Atmospheric  sounding  keyboards  start  off  the  album  and  also  mixes  in  with  the  heavier  sections  of  the  songs  at  times.  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast b eats  can b e  heard  which  also  gives  the  recording  more  of  a  raw  feeling  and  the  vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams.


  Most  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length  while  the  riffs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  melody.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  clean  playing  can  also  be  heard  at  times.


  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  along  with  a  few  tracks  also  adding  in  a  small  amount  of  spoken  word  parts  as  well  as  the  songs  also  mixing  in  a  lot  of  90's  influences  and  remaining  very  modern  at  the  same  time.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  Hungarian  and  cover  suicide  themes.


  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Frozen  Wreath  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  atmospheric  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Az  én  vétkem"  "Szabadíts  meg  a  gonosztól"  and  "Búcsúlevél".  8 out  of  10. occultblackmetalzine

Release Date: 13. September, 2023.

FFO: Dimmu Borgir, And Oceans, Catamenia  

Location: Hungary

All hope is gone: the second album of the atmospheric black metal band FROZEN WREATH is out now, entitled ‘Mea Culpa’! The Hungarian atmospheric black metal duo FROZEN WREATH released their second album ‘Mea Culpa’, after previously introducing the record with a truly dark and depressing music video. The concept album includes 7 songs in nearly 50 minutes. All the lyrics are about suicide, but from different kind of aspects; meanwhile musicwise the band still plays in the style of the second half of the 90’s black metal, in the same vein as old Dimmu Borgir, And Oceans or Catamenia. Filosofem Records released the album on CD, but it will be soon available on all streaming platforms!
