Frozen Silence

Melancholic, atmospheric music is one of my favourite genres. I guess it began from that early moment in my life when I first heard Joy Division. There was something utterly, devastatingly beautiful in that minimalistic way the band managed to create powerful emotions and visions and I was hooked ever since. 80s gothic, post-rock, new wave, all these mean the same thing to me.

Frozen Silence is sort of a bastard child of gothic rock and classical music. While the general feel is quite minimalistic and pure, the atmosphere and feel bow more towards the gothic music than classical in it’s simplicity and rawness. Most of the tunes are produced at nighttime via improvisation and "one take per track" recording style, that mimics live performance. Similar artists include Kings of Convenience, Tori Amos, Nick Cave,
