Like an air-raid siren warning of death from above, this Texan Death Metal brigade returns with their most definitive and rancorous statement to date.

Like an air-raid siren warning of death from above, Fort Worth, Texas-based Death Metal brigade Frozen Soul returns from their bitterly cold lair to unleash chaos upon humanity with their third studio album, the ruthless No Place of Warmth, following up on their critically acclaimed 2023 sophomore Glacial Domination. Produced by Josh Schroeder at Random Awesome! Recording Studio, and displaying a deadly artwork by James Bousema, the newborn beast by vocalist Chad Green, guitarists Chris Bonner and Michael Munday, bassist Samantha Mobley, and drummer Matt Dennard is a monolithic, majestic and exigent collection of anthems built on the perfect blend of ferocity and subtle melody, allowing soaring guitar leads to guide a lantern through the dark chasm of merciless riffs.

Just like the soundtrack to a spine chilling horror flick in an isolated and bitterly cold cabin, No Place of Warmth kicks off the album on a bestial mode, featuring vocalist Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance), with Chad already delivering his trademark Death Metal roars. Then it’s time to head into the battlefield in cold and despondent lands in Invoke War, featuring guest vocals by the iconic Robb Flynn (of Machine Head), while Chris and Michael fire deadly, sharp riffs nonstop; followed by Absolute Zero, which despite its cool, demonic lyrics (“Ground to nothing / Concealed in snow / Reduced to / Absolute zero / Absolute / Zero / Zero”), it could have been a bit longer and more detailed. In Dreadnought we see guest vocalist Devin Swank (of Sanguisugabogg) make an infernal duet with Chad in another heavy-as-hell tune by Frozen Soul, with Samantha pounding her bass with endless rage, whereas Chaos Will Reign keeps their Death Metal fire burning thanks to another crushing performance by Matt behind his drums, who’s also ruthless in Eyes of Despair, offering Chad exactly what he needs to vociferate like a demonic entity.

The band then offers our putrid ears one of the heaviest and most violent of all songs in the album, titled Ethereal Dreams, with their caustic riffs walking hand in hand with the obscure, massive kitchen crafted by Samantha and Matt. And after another short tune titled Skinned by the Wind, offering more of the Death Metal riffs by Chris and Michael, it’s absolute chaos in Deathweaver, bringing the heavy hammer of winter directly to our heads with another gruesome performance by Chad on vocals, sounding as dark as evil as it can be. Their second to last breath of frozen Death Metal magic comes in the form of Frost Forged, where their scorching guitars will melt our faces before we fall into their deep freeze again; and although you might have survived crossing their frozen lands, you’ll be decimated inside the pit by Killin’ Time (Until It’s Time to Kill), where the demonic bass by Samantha brings absolute thunder to their sonority, ending the album on a beyond killer and bludgeoning mode.

Frozen Soul’s time is now, and No Place of Warmth is their most definitive and rancorous statement. Without a single moment of boredom, the album sees the band distilled to its primordial essence. No frilly edges, no indulgent ambient passages, just pure steamrolling Death Metal destruction at its most clinical. Having said that, if you think you have what it takes to enter their frozen realm of violence and destruction, you can find those Texans on Facebook and on Instagram, stream all of their creations of sheer Death Metal brutality on Spotify, and of course grab a copy of No Place of Warmth from their own BandCamp or from Century Media Records. Because when Frozen Soul attack, there’s definitely no place of warmth. Only old school, scathing and frostbitten Death Metal.
