Texas death metal crew Frozen Soul aren’t exactly known for messing about, and they’ve proven it again by dropping a ferocious new track titled “Absolute Zero”. Clocking in at a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 53 seconds, it’s a total punch to the gut that ditches the bells and whistles in favour of pure, unadulterated aggression.
The song is a massive nod to the band’s roots in punk, hardcore, and old-school death metal. Frontman Chad Green didn’t hold back when explaining the motivation behind the track, noting that it serves as a firm stance against authoritarianism. To drive the point home, the accompanying video features Green taking a massive sledgehammer – cheekily dubbed “icebreaker” – to a frozen skull. As he puts it, “The best ice is crushed ice.”
Since they burst out of the underground with 2019’s Encased in Ice, these guys have been a breath of fresh air. They’ve managed to capture that legendary Bolt Thrower and Obituary vibe while making it feel entirely their own. After the success of their full-lengths Crypt of Ice and Glacial Domination, they’ve become one of the most exciting names in the next generation of metal.
