Frozen Mist started off as a basic gothic metal solo project in February 2004 by me, Darkj, because I felt a need to write music and to support the metal scene by utilizing PC programs to compose the music, since I don't own any instruments anymore. Musically & lyrically, Frozen Mist is a genre of music that I have classified as "Dark Melodic Fantasy Metal." Frozen Mist is influenced by excellent metal bands such as Overkill, Serpentia, King Diamond, Orphanage, Eternal Gray and The Project Hate MCMXCIX just to name a few.

A year later in the wintery beginnings of 2005, I drastically changed the music styles leaning onto more of lush fantasy and beautiful horror environments from my mind onto pieces of paper and into the music that I have written. In the first half of 2005, I've engaged in experimenting with different musical elements such as electro hi-q's, industrial sounds and background drum loop patterns, hence I then later took these ideas and the side project Mournful Cries Wept Mist was born. Frozen Mist meshes the perfect balance of horror and beauty.

A few internet collaborations from women online have helped out with vocals in the past which has given Frozen Mist that sort of old school "gothic" feel torwards the music with their harmonic, yet beautiful operatic and soprano melodies, thus creating the ideal sound that I wanted to achieve with Frozen Mist at that time.

The Frozen Mist album entitled "Weeping Redolence" released right after Christmas 2005 has really turned some heads on quite a few people. The very first official review has been written by Matt Hensch and can be read over at his review site here.

The "Godforsaken" album released on August 19th, 2006 features front cover photomanipulation artwork done by Amanda Abram and matches exactly very well with the lyrics and music for this CD. The lyrical content behind "Godforsaken" is simply all about desolation, isolation, complete hatred and infinite sadness. Matt Hensch's review for this CD can be viewed over here.

The "Sapphiric" CD was pretty much just a rush job. I started work on this during the "Godforsaken" sessions because I had recieved new guitar samples in the summer of 2006 and really wanted to quickly experiment with them, hence its quick release in late October 2006.

After the release of "Sapphiric", I decided it was time to move forward with the band. So, Walt Davis was asked to join Frozen Mist and play lead guitar for the band in October 2006.

While Walt was working on leads for the next CD entitled "Dark Seasons Of Sorrow," I got inspired to write some technical death metal a little heavier and a slightly different approach from Frozen Mist's musical style, hence Brumous (my 2nd solo side project) was started in January 2007. During the winter months of 2006-2007, there has been several lineup changes with trying to find a permanent female vocalist to complete the next album. So finally in June 2007, I put out an advert banner on trying to find a "permanent" fix in the Williamsport/Lycoming County area. With absolutely no luck from the banner, my last resort was to ask the haunting female soprano voice of Katarina Rose from the "Godforsaken" album to rejoin for the new CD, thus Frozen Mist was reborn!! Walt and Katarina could not finish the album on time during the midway point of recording, therefore Richard and S. Lee Baysinger from Fateless Tears was asked to finish the remainder of the album.

After a year and a half of work, "Dark Seasons Of Sorrow" was finally unleashed on April 26, 2008. After the release of "D.S.O.S.", I started pushing even farther with making the distinctive sound of Frozen Mist even more realistic. The new album, entitled "espershades", is modelled by the beautiful Melanie Swank and she is featured on the CD cover artwork. Wulv, from the PA black metal band Funeral Dust, has joined Frozen Mist to add his vokillz and Richard Baysinger from Fateless Tears, returns to lay down the lead guitar tracks. Lyrically, this new album deals with the hauntings and nightmares all about the paranormal. "espershades" was released on April 11, 2009.

With "espershades" now out of the way, I started writing new music in late February 2009 for the next album. It will be a continuation lyrically from the last album. Concepts and inspirations came from visiting and reading about Katie's Church (Millville, PA) and Allison's Grave (Duboistown, PA). In April 2009, my underground label, Capcomia Studios and Wulv's underground label, Wolf's Lair Records, have joined forces to release future albums together with both of our bands and are now searching for more underground death & black metal bands to join us. In July, Darkj decided to throw together a compilation album featuring 2 tracks from each full-length Frozen Mist CD since 2004. The 3CD compilation is called "Five Years of Darkness" and will be released to those that inquire about it. A dark ambient black metal side-project featuring Darkj and Wulv has spawned and is called THELGETH. Stay tuned for future updates!!
