Jack Frost is quite an unusual band that hails
from Austria. They have been around for more than ten years now in one form or
another and have several album releases through their native CCP Records
behind them. It has been raining all day and still does when I sit down to
write this review and it seems like that is actually the perfect gray
melancholic background for the music of this album to come alive. Jack Frost
performs some strange mixture of gothic rock and doom metal, finding a way to
forge together the two forms of music that they love the most. The music is
sad, heavy with a powerful drive that thrusts the listener forward all the
time. There are some nice songs and melodies covered in a depressive gray
shade on this album but unfortunately it lacks that little extra which makes a
band take a step out of the masses. The dark vocals also seem to lack depth
which easily makes them hide behind the music. This is a little bit too
similar to what hundreds of modern day dep(ression)-pop bands are trying to
achieve. Not a bad release though and I do not doubt the fact that Jack Frost
will appeal more to many of you than they did to me. An original album title
though which on the other hand doesn't mean anything... Stand-out tracks:
"Mother Mary Sleeps With Me", "One Hundred Percent
Pain".
