"The Red Garden" by FREEZE THE FALL

Emerging from the vibrant rock scene of Kelowna, British Columbia, FREEZE THE FALL is poised to unleash their compelling new EP The Red Garden on June 18, 2025, via 604 Records. Known for their gritty and introspective sound, this trio is ready to take their music to new heights with a project that weaves intricate tales through each track.

The Red Garden showcases a sophisticated fusion of heavy rock and narrative depth. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Jordan Chase at Oodelally Recordings, the album promises a deep dive into thematic richness, complemented by haunting visuals from album artist Kevin Moore of Soft Surrogate.

The journey begins with "Denial," a chilling instrumental that seamlessly transitions into "Rot," where medieval allegories collide with modern-day dilemmas of misinformation. "Hypothermia" follows, with bassist Aria Becker's intricate rhythms underpinning a narrative on the perils of digital anonymity.

Intensity mounts with "VHS," a track that draws from the horror genre to explore the dynamics of power and subjugation. Conversely, "Aurora" offers a melodic reprieve, reflecting on the universal ties that connect humanity through its ethereal sound and thoughtful lyrics.

The album continues to explore profound themes with "Oubliette" and "Lace." The former melds atmospheric tones with progressive elements, including a verse in French that accentuates its reflective mood. The latter, "Lace," closes the album on a poignant note, using sparse instrumentation to delve into themes of innocence lost and the harsh realities of growth.

This album, rich with thematic complexity and audacious musicality, invites listeners to traverse a landscape where music meets myth, emotion, and introspection. With The Red Garden, FREEZE THE FALL crafts an audial tapestry that is both haunting and deeply resonant, promising to leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of those who journey through its tracks. This isn't merely an album; it's an immersive experience designed to challenge, captivate, and inspire.

About FREEZE THE FALL:

Hailing from Kelowna, British Columbia, FREEZE THE FALL is a dynamic trio that has quickly carved a niche within the hard rock and metal scene. Formed in 2023, the band consists of Quinn Mitzel on guitar and vocals, Aria Becker on bass and backup vocals, and Jonah Goncalves on drums. Together, they bring a fresh fervor to the modern rock landscape, melding elements of metalcore, nu metal, and hard rock with a deeply narrative-driven approach to their music.

FREEZE THE FALL began making waves shortly after their formation. Their breakthrough came with a viral cover of THE WARNING’s “Evolve,” which caught the attention of both fans and industry insiders. This early success led to their debut single, "Glitch," in February 2024 and subsequently secured them a distribution deal with 604 Records. Their debut EP, Thrones, released in July 2024, showcased their ability to blend intense instrumentation with lyrical depth, earning them nominations for Best Music Video at the Okanagan Screen Awards 2025 for the singles "VHS" and "Hypothermia."

Inspired by the likes of BRING ME THE HORIZON, EVANESCENCE, and SPIRITBOX, FREEZE THE FALL crafts songs that explore the complexities of human emotion and societal issues. Their music features emotive vocals, thunderous bass lines, and blistering guitar riffs, paying homage to ‘90s grunge and ‘00s alt metal while pushing the boundaries with their modern sound.

The band’s creative process is marked by a collaborative spirit and a shared passion for storytelling through music. Each track they create is not just a song but a chapter in a larger narrative, exploring themes from misinformation and the impact of digital anonymity to personal introspection and societal critique.

With their second EP, The Red Garden, released in 2025, FREEZE THE FALL continues to expand their sonic landscape. This project dives deeper into experimental sounds and elaborate storytelling, weaving a tapestry of lore and emotional intensity that challenges the listener while providing a cathartic musical experience.

FREEZE THE FALL not only aims to make music that resonates on a personal level but also seeks to create a lasting impact, pushing the boundaries of rock music with every note and lyric. As they continue to grow and evolve, their journey is one of relentless creativity and a commitment to making music that matters.
