Frayle

Frayle is a doom metal band that has been carving a distinctive niche in the heavy music scene with their haunting blend of downtuned riffs and ethereal vocals. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Frayle was formed by the duo of guitarist Sean Bilovecky and vocalist Gwyn Strang, who together create a sound that is as crushing as it is hypnotic. Gwyn Strang's siren-like vocals weave through the heavy guitar backdrop with both vulnerability and power, a contrast that has become a signature element of Frayle's music. Their lyrical themes often explore the complexities of the human psyche, darkness, and the supernatural.

Since its inception, Frayle has rapidly garnered attention with releases such as "1692," which delves into witchcraft narratives and personal introspections that resonate with the listener's innermost fears and fantasies. Their album "Skin & Sorrow" features songs that continue to push the boundaries of doom metal, incorporating influences from gothic to shoegaze. With tracks like "Head Down," "Bright Eyes," and their unique take on the classic "Bela Lugosi’s Dead," the band displays their ability to transcend traditional genre confines, drawing audiences into their alluring and shadowy world. Live performances, such as their set at the House of Wills, have further solidified Frayle’s reputation as a must-see act, bringing their spellbinding presence to stages with an intense and immersive experience.
