Doom purveyors Frayle have begun their triumphant return with a brand new single, the chillingly dense "Walking Wounded". The track impresses with a whispering wall-of-sound that crushes with spine-tingling stacks of harmonies, providing a haunting showcase of what's to come from the band in 2025. The song arrives alongside a cinematic music video drenched in macabre aesthetics, blending both elegant and eerie imagery.
When asked to describe "Walking Wounded", Frayle cited a profound quote by Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie: "We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man".
Frayle is a widely acclaimed band and will stun with more upcoming music soon. Helmed by frontwoman Gwyn Strang and guitarist Sean Bilovecky, the band merges the heaviness of occult-driven doom and blackgaze with eerie vocal stylings and rich atmosphere.
Frayle will kick off its European headline tour alongside several festival stops. The band has also confirmed additional USA performance dates in 2025, before and after the European tour. See below for a listing of where you can catch Frayle on the road! Link
