Hailing from Colorado Frozen Eternity is an underground Metal act that seemed to be loved by everyone who knows them, and it is easy to see why. Frozen Eternity have a powerful sound that outmatches many of the metal bands of today. Their brutal riffs, insane solos and unique vocals make for quite the listening experience.

The band started in 2005 originally consisting of 3 members but now have 6. Not even in a year’s time the band released their debut album by the name of Forgotten Past.
The album kicks off with one of my personal favorites “Maelstrom”. They have an interesting way of kicking off their songs in this particular track we have some tympanis. Throughout the entire album excellent musicianship is demonstrated. The soloing from Frozen Eternity is simply phenomenal. The solos are very fast and technical. The fact is Frozen Eternity are an extremely technical band and never fail to impress.
The vocals on this album are pretty unique for death metal. 95% of the vocals on this album are a unique scream that gives almost a liquid feel. “Self Annihilation” is a track that greatly demonstrates the liquid feel you get from Josh and Cody's vocals. Aside from the Screams there are some clean vocals here and there. The clean vocals are a definite standout since they are very clear and beautiful.
One thing I did not expect from this album was good production quality. Seeing as the band members were only 18 years of age and had not hit it big yet by any means I did not expect clear music. Although some company somewhere must have picked up this band and given them a studio because the production quality of this album is quite impressive. A song that demonstrates the good quality is another gem the band title track “Frozen Eternity”.
For a couple of 18 year olds the musical talent is unbelievable. The Guitar is fast paced and provides innovative riffs, and the drumming is fast paced and in your face. All the songs on this album have a great riff such as “Eclipse of Hope” and can put a smile on any metal heads face.
All in all this is a fantastic record. The musicians demonstrate excellent musicianship and songs are catchy and still pack a big punch. And although Frozen Eternity is quite underground that does not mean they should be overlooked at all. Forgotten Past proves to be quite the album and is a must have for any fan of the metal genre.
