FRAILTY (available for booking)

Frailty is a modern doom metal band, from Riga, Latvia, creating and performing dark and disturbing sounds of melancholy and tragedy. Frailty's music is the reflection of humanity's sickness, sorrows and coldness expressed through many faced musical approaches starting from influences of early 90ties doom/death metal, slowly evolving into more abstract ambient and ethnic soundscapes. It is a dark journey inside reality's most unwanted, feared and abhorred aspects, leaving no compromises or hopes. Deeply inspired by mythologies of this world, Frailty tells a story of mystery and tragedy to its ever increasing audience.

The band has released successful debut album "Lost Lifeless Lights" in 2008 under well known Solitude Productions label, specified in doom metal sounds, that got well response all around the world. Nameless self released EP followed in 2009 – and band got two highest awards on first ever annual Latvian Metal Music Award 2009 – "Best Latvian Metal Band 2009" & "Best Latvian Metal Album 2009". "Silence Is Everything..." is a promotional EP released in 2010, that shows the way the band is going and what to expect from then upcoming second full album. At the beginning of this year 2012, Frailty finally released long awaited second full-length album in the name of Greek muse of tragedy - “Melpomene” under Ukrainian Arx Production and for now it’s going around the world and collecting very successful reviews.

One of Frailty's main goals is to create crushing and memorable live performances – massive and bleak walls of sound from guitars, dark atmospheres from keyboards, crushing drums, bulldozing bass and deep growling vocals sometimes supported by sorrowful and sick cleans. The stage experience so far is formidable – Frailty acted as support band for Novembre in Vilnius and for Skepticism in Moscow. Frailty's first album's presentation was done on Moscow Doom Festival III together with Esoteric, Worship, Comatose Vigil, and Mournful Gust. The band got headline show on The Shadows Doom Festival in Moscow, as well – shared the stage with Dark Tranquillity, Tiamat, Samael, Sepultura, Sinister, Mournful Congregation, Longing for Dawn, Mourning Beloveth, Dark The Suns, Depressed Mode, Soundarcade and many others on local and foreign concerts and festivals.
