“If you are a person who enjoys tech-death and symphonic black metal, this record may just be your album of the year.” – Metal Epidemic
“Freedom of Fear are masters in their field” – Everblack Media
“Adelaide wizards Freedom of Fear have unleashed one of the most diverse albums of melodic technical death metal you are likely to encounter this year. Carpathia is a complete triumph and is easily one of the best death metal releases of 2022.” – 10/10 Hysteria Mag
Today, Adelaide extreme metal outfit Freedom of Fear release their sophomore album Carpathia via EVP Recordings. The album is an intense force of nature which combines tech-death, black metal, goth and melodic death metal influences. Carpathia features German tech-death legend Hannes Grossmann (Necrophagist, Obscura) on drums, with the mix supplied by V. Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress). Freedom of Fear will be touring Australia in support of the new album, full details below.
Since launching their debut album Nocturnal Gates in 2019, Freedom of Fear have made a name for themselves in Australia’s metal underground through touring with Fleshgod Apocalypse and supporting other heavyweights of the genre such as Jinjer, Thy Art Is Murder, The Black Dahlia Murder, Revocation, Obituary, Ne Obliviscaris, Aborted, and The Ocean.
With respectful nods to everything from Cradle Of Filth and Morbid Angel to Obscura, the band harnesses virtuosic ability to rival the excess of the greats of yesteryear, and a classy sensibility that enables them to maintain an acutely modern relevance. The music is of the highest class and will no doubt put Freedom of Fear squarely on the metal map.
