Representatives of high-quality, compelling death/doom, our neighbours from Latvia – braliukai, just an arm’s reach away – yet they have appeared at the KILKIM ŽAIBU festival only once. In 2017, in the depths of night, under a relentless downpour – it's time to right the wrongs of the past. After more than two decades of creation, FRAILTY return to Lithuania more solid than ever, delivering top-tier doom!
With their debut album “Lost Lifeless Lights“, FRAILTY arrived with ambition – fate-laden metal in the finest British tradition, shifting between melody and brutality, full of true super – hits, and that unbelievably deep, rich growl. Whew – those Latvians could truly give you chills. Some were quick to dub them the Baltic’s MY DYING BRIDE, others – the Latvian NOVEMBERS DOOM. Today, the band boasts four studio albums and a long-matured craft that balances between slowness and crushing heaviness.
Tangles of endless nostalgia, love, pain, and suffering are conveyed through heavy, at times mid-paced, melodic music – uncluttered by unnecessary twists, and still captivating with both its grit and lyricism. Just as the finest death/doom traditions demand. The band’s songs are long, at times monotonous or hypnotic, but then – melancholy was never meant for the weak…
