Set to release their eagerly-awaited full length May 8th via Century Media Records, Texas destructors Frozen Soul continue to lay waste to modern heavy music with another pummeling preview from No Place of Warmth. Debuting the album's title track last month with the reveal of Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance as a special guest feature, Frozen Soul have again landed a genre heavyweight, with Robb Flynn of Machine Head taking up the steel on the personally poignant, "Invoke War".

Packed with all the power and punishing sonics that have made Frozen Soul such a celebrated collective in both the death metal and hardcore circles, the track serves as an earnest tribute to frontman Chad Green's departed brother - emphasized b an especially convincing performance. 

Green further explained the track, “...is about the internal battle we all have to fight when navigating loss, grief, guilt, and depression. It’s about getting back up. It's meant to be the anthem to your day, the background music to your story, the extra weapon you might need to help conquer whatever you’re struggling with. Robb’s lyrics add a whole new layer of power and emotion to the song. This is a follow up to ‘Arsenal of War,’ which was about remembering and carrying the light and memories of your lost loved one with you.”


Paired with a powerful video directed by Brendan McGowan, the clip not only frames the band's dominant performance, but also highlights the resilience and symbolism rooted in the song.  “We wanted to show that this isn’t some big war with a ton of actors—this is the war we fight alone inside every day. We brought trinkets to hold up in the video to remember the good times and remind us that the battle may never end but we can choose to remember while we move forward.

At the end, I dig up the dagger from the ‘No Place of Warmth’ video out of the bloody soil, a symbol of how hard it is to remember and relive those things. That dagger has my [late] brother Cory’s name engraved on the side facing away from the camera. I stared at it the entire scene thinking about how badass he would think it was with me all bloody holding a dagger.”

En route to the May 8th arrival of No Place of Warmth, Frozen Soul recently completed  a European trek with Heaven Shall Burn, The Halo Effect & The Black Dahlia Murder. Up next, Frozen Soul joins Avatar for a North American jaunt that begins in Sacramento, CA on Apri 16th and extends through the end of May. A list of dates and cities can be found below.
