Review
Frayle
are a Doom/Stoner Rock band with an Occult and Gloomy presence hidden
within their music. The band say they take influence from Sleep,
Black Sabbath, Portishead, Bjork and Kyuss. And truth be told that’s
a pretty accurate description of how their debut EP – The White
Witch – sounds like.
A
collection of four songs that merge gloomy atmospherics with
progressive Sludge/Desert/Stoner Rock passages. The vocals from Gwyn
are perhaps one of the strongest aspects of the EP with the music
coming a close second. As Gwyn is the main focus of this EP. The
music is fantastic throughout as well. With Frayle even including a
heavy Post-Metal feel on songs such as Let The Darkness and Things
That Make Us Bleed.
Frayle
include a cover of Portishead classic – Wandering Star – and they
totally own this song. As the song is very different to the original.
Perhaps more gloomy and more sombre than the original.
The
future is bright for Frayle. Check this EP out before they move onto
bigger and better things. As The White Witch is perhaps Frayle’s
calling card to bigger and better things within the Doom/Stoner Metal
community.
