Biography

Frailty is a modern doom metal band, from Riga, Latvia, creating and performing dark and disturbing sounds of melancholy and tragedy. Frailty's music is the reflection of humanity's sickness, sorrows and coldness expressed through many faced musical approaches starting from influences of early 90ties doom/death metal, slowly evolving into more abstract ambient and ethnic soundscapes. It is a dark journey inside reality's most unwanted, feared and abhorred aspects, leaving no compromises or hopes. Deeply inspired by mythologies of this world, Frailty tells a story of mystery and tragedy to its ever increasing audience.
The band has released successful debut album "Lost Lifeless Lights" in 2008 under well known Solitude Productions label, specified in doom metal sounds, that got well response all around the world.

Nameless self released EP followed in 2009 - and band got two highest awards on first ever annual Latvian Metal Music Award 2009 - "Best Latvian Metal Band 2009" & "Best Latvian Metal Album 2009".

One of Frailty's main goals is to create crushing and memorable live performances - massive and bleak walls of sound from guitars, dark atmospheres from keyboards, crushing drums, bulldozing bass and deep growling vocals sometimes supported by sorrowful and sick cleans.
