I heard about Frost on Progulus radio. The guys there were very excited about its release so I decided to give it a try.

I can sum this album up by saying, Frost just sounds fantastic!

Once I got the album and listened to it, I was a bit let down because I normally enjoy the metal side of things and that's not Frost's genre. But after listening to the album a few times at work, I've really done a 180 for this band/album and it's slightly less heavy genre.

The musicianship is superb and very reminiscent of Dream Theater at moments. Constantly changing intricate themes with long never boring instrumental sections is Frosts's strong points. The production value is very high on Milliontown.

I have fallen in love with the vocals on this album. The soft almost whispering tones that's delivered are very mood setting and almost demand you pay attention to the lyrics. I've always been a huge fan of great vocal melodies, but Frost does a great job of creating a mood with their songs yet their songs sometimes lack a defined catchy melody, I think it's more about the mood than some difficult to sing melody. This is how they have captured me as a listener.

The track Milliontown is the obvious spotlight on the album. I love this song. I especially got goose bumps when listening to the opening sample about angels. It really set a tone for me which really forced me to pay attention for what was coming next.

I've enjoyed this album so much that it has dragged me out of my prog metal cave and actually inspired me to hear more bands in this lighter style. How can I give an album that has opened my eyes to a new genre anything else than 5 stars? ;)

I am now determined to hear everything Frost has/will put out. GREAT ALBUM GUYS!!!
