Hailing from Oslo, Norway, a country known for its high quality in both progressive and extreme metal, the expectations are always high when a new band emerges on the stage. Frail Grounds challenge these expectations with their debut album, “The Fields of Trauma”.

A conceptual and musical journey through soundscapes composed of heavy, progressive and more extreme elements, these 11 songs will take the listener through melancholic acoustic moments and up through more brutal yet melodic epics. The story follows an expedition deep into Siberia, questioning how far a person might go under extreme circumstances in order to achieve a sense of resolution. The album was mixed by Øyvind Larsen (Lionheart Studios) and mastered by acclaimed producer Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios). It is released through the bands own label Triptych Recordings as digital download in all major online music stores and as physical CD through the bands webshop (frailgrounds.com/store).

“…This album is a continuation of the sound we created with ‘Corrosion’ (EP, 2008), except now its a more refined and complete experience. On this debut album the elements have fallen naturally into place, and we believe we fill a void in the Norwegian as well as the international metal scene… “ – Morten Søbyskogen (vocals)
