NEWS: Frostbite Terror like a happy animal!

While they continue to prepare an EP for a 2025 release via Inverse Records, Turku Finland based Metal heads Frostbite Terror have offered up a first taste of the shape of punk to come with “Happy Ox“. Combing a one two punch of Melodic Death Metal with Thrash riffs and Symphonic arrangements, the band switch between subjects serious and those in dark humor.

Guitarist Olli Kuure comments: “Happy Ox is our vision of double guitar harmony in concert with tight rhythm and solid rumbling drums and bass. Growl and edge-of-breakup vocals act as extra spice. Composing and recording the song was a fun experience, happening almost on its own. Happy Ox has been a work in progress from 2020 and it’s nice to finally release it. The song, being a bit in major key, gives a contrast to our more dark and melancholy songs”

Vocalist and bassist Otso Turunen adds: “The name “Happy Ox” comes from a suburban pub in our hometown, but soon got a life of its own much like many of our songs. The final lyrics are a mixture of anti-war and veganism — cannon and cow fodder. Frostbite Terror songs often turn both serious and comical subjects towards dark humor, in this case into blood sausage. The melodic and groovy background is perfect for howling like a bull, and I hope that joy is felt by the listener too”
