‘Violence and hatred runs in the family, I am drowning in this hostility, My resentment towards this world, Now echoes through your suffering’ (Wilkman’s War)
As its full title implies, Years In Permafrost, brings together all of Killing Frost’s recorded output since the band formed. This includes the band’s debut demo, 2021’s Declaration Of W.W., and 2023’s self-titled 7-inch EP, plus a 2024 compilation track, and two brand new tracks recorded specifically for this discography.
Hailing from Helsinki, and featuring members of Foreseen and Yleiset Syyt, Killing Frost forge a brutal fusion of sludge fuelled doom with monolithic slabs of fiercely groove laden riffage. This visceral onslaught brings to mind a rawer, more hardcore inclined interpretation of Tower Of Spite-era Cerebral Fix. Soaring NWOBHM inspired solos, swirling swells of dungeon synth, haunting choral backing vocals, and splendidly timed death metal grunts are all inventively integrated into the venomous battery.
The gutturally roared vocals call upon bleakly allusive imagery of frozen arctic darkness to explore the ongoing personal battle to escape the numbing childhood legacies of violence and isolation. Sweeping from the swaggering Cross Of Mourning to the searing Wilkman’s War II by way of the more mournfully introspective Killing Frost, this is a collection of pulverising intensity.
