Texan death metal outfit Frozen Soul have put out a brand new single titled “No Place Of Warmth“. In an unexpected move, that song features a prominent member of the emo rock community: My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way. That track also opens Frozen Soul‘s just announced third studio album of the same name. Robb Flynn of Bay Area groove metallers Machine Head & Devin Swank of Columbus, OH death metal outfit Sanguisugabogg will also guest on that record. Century Media will have that new album out on May 08th.
Per Frozen Soul vocalist Chad Green, this new song is, “about life at its coldest and the choice you have to let it consume you, or to use it to find warmth in a world that feels void of it. Life is always coming at you, and death doesn’t stop—you might slow it down, but it’s always coming—so you have to make the best out of it and march on.”
As for pairing with Way on it, Green added:
“We met Gerard a couple of years ago and have become friends. I knew he had a love for metal, so I spun the idea to him about singing in a Frozen Soul song and he was stoked! Gerard is an amazing artist and musician whose creative vision has shaped generations and more to come.”
Brendan McGowen directed the below video for the song, which finds actor London Smith returning after previously appearing in Frozen Soul‘s “Morbid Effigy” video. Smith takes on the role of ‘Death’ in this clip, with Green offering:
“The lead character attempts to keep her dagger with rosary beads away from Death, as a stand to say we won’t be afraid of what’s coming and we will live happy with the memories and experiences of our time here.”
Green also weighed in on the record itself, stating:
“Each song on this record has its own meaning and influences that helped make them what they are, but in their essence are written to give the listener that extra push and power they need to fight those everyday battles. These songs are built to say ‘We won’t be swept away by its winds; we can and we will move forward.'”
Regarding the trio of guest appearances included on this Josh Schroeder (Varials, 156/Silence) produced affair, Green explained:
“Anytime we have features, it’s with friends and bands that we love and respect who share the same feelings and emotion that we’re trying to get across in the song. Gerard, Robb and Devin all added their own unique styles and love into the songs and really helped bring them to life. It was an absolute pleasure working with them.”
