FROZEN SOUL PREMIERE NSFW “ARCTIC STRANGLEHOLD” VIDEO — WATCH
NEW ALBUM
CRYPT OF ICE OUT NOW
FROZEN SOUL live up to their name as the sound of death metal at its most cold and classic. Their new album Crypt of Ice is out now via Century Media.
The band just premiered the NSFW video for album track “Arctic Stranglehold.”
Watch it here.
“‘Arctic Stranglehold’ is our favorite song off of Crypt of Ice,” the band says. “We started out doing just a visual, non-performance video for it, but in the end, we thought that it deserved a lot more to really show the song. We went back to the drawing board with Tanner McCardle and our good friend Dave Gonzalez with Metal Dave Media and decided to shoot some DIY scenes ourselves to add into what Tanner had already done! All the performance scenes and death scenes were shot in our jam space, then Tanner filmed some additional footage to add to that.”
The band finishes, “After we got all of the new additions finished, Tanner reworked the original visuals that he filmed and edited it together with all the new footage. ‘Arctic Stranglehold’ came to life, or death!! We put a lot of hard work into this video and are stoked for everyone to see it! COLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL FOREVER.”
Exclusive merch and restocked vinyl are available here.

ABOUT FROZEN SOUL:
FROZEN SOUL’s brand of straightforward, in-your-face death metal is a gasp of fresh air in a genre that’s stretched the very limits of technicality. Fully formed in 2018, the quintet has rapidly made a name for itself and churned the underground with a sound that evokes the old school sound of bands like Obituary, Mortician, and Bolt Thrower. That reverence for death metal’s roots was apparent from Frozen Soul’s initial four-song Encased in Ice demo, which includes a cover of Mortician’s “Witch’s Coven” and was released in early 2019 on California’s Maggot Stomp Records.
FROZEN SOUL entered the studio in early March 2020 to record its first full-length with former guitarist Daniel Schmuck handling production and mixing duties. Crypt of Ice is nothing short of a breath of very fresh and very cold air on death metal’s fiery landscape. From re-recorded demo tracks including the call-to-arms of “Encased in Ice” and the savage frost blister of “Wraith of Death” to the brutal, pummeling, and momentous guitar churn of “Arctic Stranglehold,” FROZEN SOUL have delivered a record that embraces the genre’s past while pushing death metal forward with frigid force.
