#30-Inside the darkness

Frost - Black Metal from Hungary
Hello and welcome to
Inside the Darkness.
- Can you tell our
readers a bit about
your history, please?
Welcome to you and
the readers of Inside The
darkness!
I founded Frost
with Krisztian
Bekei
(bass) and
Gabor Devenyi
(guitars/voc
a l s )
in May
1996. We
got out from the Prophecy
death/black style
Interview by Andrew Stanton
band, because our interest
was completely directed towards
Black Metal style and
we wanted to continue this
line of music.
The band went through
all the stages from
Music and style are changing, but
fortunately, not only the bands that represent
innovation can prevail, but also, those that
carry on the old flame. Time will decide
which bands can stay afloat in the long run.
demos to
concerts and albums. Unfortunately,
there were a lot of
Interview with Frost M. Feri
member changes during the
band's life, which hindered
progress to a great extent.
In 2018, the band ceased
to exist for a short time, but
the following year I wrote
the "Deathtree
Mystery"
album,
on which
Tamas Deak
undertook
the vocals.
The album
was released
by Metal
Or Die Records,
with whom we have been
working together ever since.
After that, around 2020,
a very good band membership
was formed, with
whom we can work really
well and effectively.
Under the 28 years so far,
we have released a total of
six albums and a few EPs.
We have worked together
several times with
US and Slovak record
labels, but from 2019 -
as I mentioned - we are
working with the Hungarian
Metal Or Die Records.
Currently, Frost is considered
one of the oldest
Black Metal band in
Hungary.
- Who are the members
of Frost now?
Tamas Deak/ vocals,
Gyorgy Komlo/guitars,
Bence Kohler/guitars,
vocals, keyboards,
Andras Balazs/ drums
and me Ferenc Mocsnik/
bass
- What is the Hungarian
scene like?
When the subject of
Black Metal comes up
somewhere, people almost
always think primarily
of bands from the
Scandinavian countries,
even though there are
many good bands in other
parts of Europe and in
many parts of the world.
I think that the Hungarian
scene is quite strong, there
are many high-quality Black
Metal bands, several bands are
successful not only in the
Hungarian scene, but also
abroad or are on major record
labels.
In addition, it can also
be said that all aspects of
Black Metal are represented by
great Hungarian
bands.
- What other
Hungarian
bands should
our readers
check out?
Tormentor,
Sear Bliss,
Ahriman,
Bornholm
are unavoidable
names
among the old
bands...
I think those
who are
more serious
about
the Black
metal style
may not be
foreign these names.
Among the newer bands
there are also many outstanding
ones, such as DV-
VAD, Denever or Aornos
consisting of ex-Frost and
ex-Sear Bliss members.
These bands all represent
different trends of Black
Metal in an absolutely authentic
and professional
way.
