Ugly, frost-bitten, troll-ravaged folk-metallers FROST GIANT will unleash a new beast in 2018. Transcending Records is gearing up for the release of The Harlot Star, an 11 track salute to the glory of battle from one of folk metal’s most unique and entertaining bands. FROST GIANT’s third full-length is a catchy mix of 90’s So-Cal punk, European folk metal and American hardcore rooted in Norse mythology, historical references and general silliness.

I have no quarrel with Blabbermouth.net, but something has to be said site of their comments section. Whenever they post an artist people don’t immediately know it quickly becomes a game of “Who?” and other unoriginal comments that are (still) painfully unfunny nearing the end of 2017, which says quite a lot that people aren’t willing to read or, most importantly, listen to bands they aren’t familiar with.
