Frost Like Ashes
This Midwestern band was put together in
2001, intending to put their own unique
spin on symphonic black metal.
This is death-influenced black metal with
prominant keyboards and a fair bit of impressive
drumming.
Some have labelled this band a poor man's
Cradle Of Filth,
which isn't too far off the mark as the vocals
do resemble Dani Filth at times and musically
early COF is a decent reference point.
Lyrically, this band is quite Christian, which
is a bit of a novelty, as
black metal and Christian lyrics are seldom
put together (see
Horde
for a rare example).
So, Frost Like Ashes' stance is either a noble
stand for their own beliefs, or an attempt to woo
non-believers to their side.
Add to this the fact that Kansas City is hardly
a black metal hotspot, and that makes these
guys' road a tough one to hoe.
Tophet isn't groundbreaking for the genre of black
metal, though Christian metal fans seem to be
enjoying this more than secular fans.
