Rare are the moments when you are so unexpectedly overwhelmed by a piece of art, especially if you have never heard the artist's name before. In this case, the artist is a relatively new band from Germany, more precisely from Haltern am See in North Rhine-Westphalia, and goes by the name of Frostshock. Frostshock have been around since 2020 and have released an insanely strong album with their self-titled debut. They were able to prove their live qualities together with bands like Sodom at this year's Turock-Fest in Bochum. Fortunately, a friend of mine was among the visitors, so I heard about Frostshock by word of mouth, because the four musicians don't have a label behind them that could do any major advertising, the album is completely self-released. Given the outstanding quality of the music, pretty much any label from the heavier genre should have been able to get involved, but perhaps it was a conscious decision to do everything themselves, more on that in the upcoming interview with the band.
