FALLING SATELLITES

A dramatic and catchy theater between First Day and Last Day. In the spring of 2016, FROST* have given their first bark titled "Falling Satellites", where are full of highly qualified pop essence tinged mainly with a tad complex Neo-symphonic sauce. Grabbing minds of young progressive rock fan and dealing carefully with old proggers ... each might be different from another and simultaneously both should give extreme energy or power to all of progressive freaks without any doubt. This album notifies us of such a certification.

And let me say they've discharged various elements here and there. Their sound strategy might look toward pop melody line with hard-edged eccentric rhythm basis for the sake of digging a cool novelty out and be constructed elaborately with massive influence by not only plenty of progressive rock pioneers but also pop / rock legends. Electric confusion like Discipline-Era Crimson, speedy rock chasing into comfort, technical complicated plays (killer ones), sound effects often used nowadays, fantastic sincere chorus, explosive sound virtuality under rockin spiritual clear sky ... lots of musical expression methods are around them indeed.

Kinda tough call to find a novelty or an innovative attention via such a soundscape / subgenre like theirs actually but the "pop / rock" composition quality and their brilliant play and technique can be felt awesome. No suspicion. And personally "Hypoventilate", flooded with drastically deep mental deflation, is my love. ;)

Frost - an on-again, off-again project of musical producer Jem Godfrey - mixes classical symphonic prog influences (through the dominant role of synthesizers) with modern electronic-based music and bombastic power pop. All prog bands overdo something - some the instrumental side, some the vocals ... (read more)
