Alternative Press stated in their February 2007 review that Freya’s new album Lift The Curse is music that can start prison riots. The album received four out of five stars in Revolver and a solid eight out of ten in Decibel and Outburn magazines. Holland’s Lords Of Metal webzine says that these songs will become classics in years to come. Both critics and fans in the worldwide mainstream/underground metal and hardcore scenes agree that Lift The Curse is one of the most powerful and captivating releases of the year. This is a must have CD for fans of Hatebreed, Slayer, and the bands previous endeavor the legendary Earth Crisis. Freya delivers the same dosage of ultra-aggressive metallic hardcore as they did with their former band sans the technical approach. Frontman Karl said in the Rhode Island based Final Word fanzine, “We set out to streamline our sound on this one. This keeps things fresh for us after years of experimenting during EC.” Music Choice, XM, and Sirius radios along with terrestrial radio have had the bands infectiously heavy track Suffer Not One in rotation for months. The album Lift The Curse debuted as the second most added album on college metal radio. Onstage, Freya is a furious storm of energy that marshals the crowd to vent aggression through stage dives and circle pits. They have played to receptive audiences with different bands across the board from Nonpoint and Madball to Crowbar and Kataklysm. Freya recently returned from tour dates with Sworn Enemy and Too Pure To Die in support of their newest release. Drummer Ethan Henry says, “We want to keep the spirit of 80’s thrash alive. The shows were crazy. Testament, Nuclear Assault, and DRI had something positive to say.” In 2003, Freya released As The Last Light Drains, that album is a blend of melody and devastatingly crushing heaviness. They were interviewed on Headbangers Ball and their video to the title track was in rotation for months. On the follow up to Last Light, Freya returned with a split recording with Victory Records label mates The Hoods in 2004. Peta2 made a video for the anti vivisection anthem from that release entitled Struggle To Survive, it is featured on Peta2’s Save 99 DVD compilation. Freya appeared along with Lamb Of God, Shadows Fall, Goldfinger, and Fall Out Boy. Over 100,000 copies of that DVD were taken home by fans who attended The Sounds Of The Underground and Warped Tour. The split prepared fans for the sonic fury that is Lift The Curse. Singer Karl Buechner describes the album as a concept from start to finish. “Lyrically it traces a timeline from Eden to Armageddon. With as many weapons, there are in the world and the amount of hatred some people have for their fellow man, civilization is going to self-destruct. Until then, Freya is determined to thrive with the long running band nucleus of Karl Buechner, Erick Edwards, and Ethan Henry along with new recruits Mike LaGrow and Mark Salisbury. Look out for upcoming US tour dates and a new video for the track Suffer Not One this summer. Photobucket
