In the world of the damned the enigmatic band Frayle shines brightly embarking on a new promising musical journey that gives life to the haunting third full length “Heretics & Lullabies”.
Darkness descends upon us all as “Walking Wounded” presents a modern approach blending theatrical atmospheric waves and vitriolic guitar lines while the catchy chorus relies on the mystifying vocal delivery.
“Boo” sounds macabre and playful as guitars diligently mix gritty obscure riffs and murky melodies complemented by the contrasting vocal duet of eerie whispers and guttural growls.
The doomed soul of “Demons” constantly emerges through the hypnotic atmospheric maze and the somber rhythmic crescendos emphasized by the raw guitar sound.
Throughout “Souvenirs Of Your Betrayal” the band focuses on dense atmospheric arrangements channeling dreamy shoegaze influences while guitars remain in the background providing additional ghastly vibes.
“Glass Blown Heart” could have been a little romantic song but here everything is pitch black, ultimately only the shimmering synths and the fragile vocal harmonies are meant to evoke luminous sentiments.
“Heretic” is a live show hit song relying on the super radio friendly chorus and a series of moody melodic progressions surrounded by a perennial atmospheric gloom.
While Frayle clearly draw inspiration from the ominous aspects of classic doom metal they always enhance the inner decadent catchiness of “Heretics & Lullabies” with multilayered sultry atmospheric themes and an accessible melodic composition.
