"Mit »No Safe Place« demonstrieren OPPRESSION eindrucksvoll, wie Black Metal heute klingen kann, wenn technische Versiertheit, atmosphärische Dichte und thematische Tiefe aufeinandertreffen. Die Kombination aus präziser Instrumentalarbeit, emotional aufgeladenem Gesang und durchdachter Komposition macht das Album zu einem Must-Have für Fans der Szene. .". [...]

"With UNCHAINED, a live feel was important to us. Even though everything was recorded separately, the spirit had to be preserved. The sound should combine the best of the previous albums – uncompromising, powerful, honest."
Frosted Undergrowth was interviewed by Legacy - The Voice From The Dark Side! If you want to know more about their latest album, their songwriting or their view on live shows, read the complete interview in issue #159!

"The thickly smeared keyboard parts beneath them add an extra layer of grimy undertone. Of course, this KÆCK isn't something you should expect any kind of beauty prizes from, which also makes the other compositions on this record grimy and filthy, all to further enhance the chosen theme. [...] Dutch war Black Metal of the highest order!"

"The band ramp up the traumatic intensity again, but also create other dynamic diversions and additions, including desperately sizzling chords, haughty pronouncements (like some high priest of darkness), acrobatic rhythm-section adventures, and grand symphonic overlays that seem both celestial and catastrophic. Through it all, they don’t lose the distressing melodic thread, but bury it deeper and deeper in their listeners’ heads."

"Vertrackte Momente gibt es ebenso wie stumpfes Uffta Uffta Gepolter. Bösartiges Gebrate mischt sich mit harmonischen, fast verträumt wirkenden Melodien, und über allem steht der bösartig herausgekrächzte Gesang von Kaiaphas, der seine okkulten Ausführungen mit maximaler Aggression ins Mikro kotzt.". [...]
LUCIFER LUCEM PROFERENS by Thokkian Vortex is a successful work that impresses with its dark, mystical atmosphere and successful instrumentation."

No experimentation, no unnecessary baggage – simply pure, authentic Black Metal that embodies the essence of the second wave while simultaneously feeling individual and unique."

"As for the lyrics and the whole concept of our latest albums. Odolen has a 150-year-old wooden house in the Strážovské vrchy Mountains. There, in the embrace of the mountains, “Night Sky Illuminations” and “An Ode To The Mountains” were created."

"It's not easy to pin down a frame of reference for KÆCK's music, which relies primarily on a rudimentary, less-is-more approach. The faster passages recall Impaled Nazarene's first full-length albums, while the slower work contains echoes of Gehenna's "First Spell," but with a touch of Hellenic mysticism and an industrial edge."

"The ten-minute track 'The Brazen Vessel Of Solomon' shines with atmospheric density, a dramatic structure, and instrumental playfulness ranging from doom to classic heavy metal. Furthermore, the song features a rather trippy interlude dominated by far-out keyboard sounds, somewhat reminiscent of Cradle of Filth on mushrooms."

"This mix certainly isn't for everyone. Old-school purists will surely criticize the somewhat overproduced, pristine sound. Fans of perfect production might find the raspy vocals grating in the long run. But those who don't share such aversions can have an interesting time with LUCIFER LUCEM PROFERENS, as there are new facets to discover with each listen."
