Hot off the heels of their latest release "Skin & Sorrow", Cleveland’s Frayle have announced a European tour kicking off on November 1st, 2022. The tour will see the band playing shows and festivals in the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, UK, and Germany.
Heavy music media giants Revolver Magazine recently named Frayle as “One of the 5 bands you need to know”. They said;
“Frayle takes a cinematic approach to doom, conjuring up witchy atmosphere, mesmerizing groove passages and hushed melodies that hypnotize the listener into their eerie spell - only to snap them out of it with crashing breaks of cascading distortion.”
The group was formed in 2017 by guitarist Sean Bilovecky (formerly of now-defunct Man's Ruin recording artists Disengage) and vocalist Gwyn Strang, a singer with an alluring voice and an equally compelling flair for imagery. Frayle’s “lullabies over chaos” approach to songwriting allows the group the freedom to explore what is possible with heavy music; its gorgeously ominous sound a result of complex layering and tone stacking while simultaneously overseeing the perfectly delicate balance between heaving, heavy riffs and haunting vocal melodies.
“We look forward to seeing everyone again in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium as well as meeting new fans and friends in the UK, Denmark and Sweden. This album has been a long time in the making and we can’t wait to share these new songs with our fellow Heretics.” – Frayle
The band will announce something special just before the tour starts, so watch this space for more info.
Revolver premiered the video for ”Skin & Sorrow” and wrote Frayle's enchanting sound falls somewhere between the low-and-slow gaziness of bands like King Woman and Cloakroom and the more classic doominess of Earth and YOB. "Skin & Sorrow" is eerie and ethereal for its first half, but slowly lets more crunchy fuzz into the fold that builds up to a detonating finish with gobs of spiritual atmosphere. All of Frayle's videos are fucking gorgeous, and this one — self-directed by the band — is no exception, with all sorts of wide-angle shots and freaky outfits.
