Cleveland’s atmospheric post‑doom conjurers Frayle continue to carve their own spectral path through the modern doom and gothic underground. Following the acclaimed October 2025 release of their latest full‑length, Heretics & Lullabies via Napalm Records, the band now presents a brand new visual offering for the track “Souvenirs Of Your Betrayal”.
The video, directed by Adam Wilde, arrives just as Frayle prepare to embark on their upcoming US tour supporting Dogma, marking another significant chapter in the band’s steady rise.
Speaking about the emotional core of the song, Frayle comments: “We wrote ‘Souvenirs Of Your Betrayal’ from a very real place of hurt and clarity. It’s about facing deception head‑on and turning that experience into something honest, heavy, and powerful.”
Over the past years, Frayle have earned a reputation as one of the most compelling and rapidly ascending acts in contemporary doom. Their sound—an intoxicating blend of ethereal vocals, crushing riffs, and shadow‑drenched atmospheres—continues to evolve, with Heretics & Lullabies pushing their signature aesthetic into even more haunting territory. The album, Heretics & Lullabies, was selected by Terra Relicta magazine & radio as one of the 50 best dark music albums of the year 2025.
The newly released video offers another glimpse into the album’s emotional weight and sonic depth. Fans can experience “Souvenirs Of Your Betrayal” now and find the full list of upcoming US tour dates below. Link
