Today just became AWESOME.

[nailz]

So, apparently Freternia is working on a new Promo and new material. They broke up back in 2002, and now seem to be back together with some really fucking awesome killer shit.

Oh god, I needed good news today. This is UNBELIEVABLE!

Most of you probably never heard of them, but I was introduced to them early on, I love their music, and I absolutely Pasi Humppi's voice. Not everyone is going to enjoy it, but ... augh, just fucking awesome news.

I heard this recently as well. I also really like Freternia. I think that the cover art for "A Nightmare Story" is one of my all-time favorite illustrations.

Have you ever heard the cover they did of Helloween's Muderer? Its bad ass IMO.

I bought A Nightmare Story at PP several years ago for a dollar, I think. I actually have not listened to it yet

Maybe it's time to give it a whirl based on this thread

I bought two Freternia albums a few years ago. They were okay. Don't remember any songs, just remember that it was decent. I'd definitely give a new one a shot. Although I'd have to hear before I bought.

Hell yes. I even own the promo they put out together with Persuader. The only other band I gush over more than Freternia is Elvenking. I can't believe other people are familar with them haha.

Give them a new spin, especially "Guardians of the Night" off of "Warchants and Fairytales". Such a good song. On the myspace page there's some demo stuff up to listen to.

Wow..this brings back lots of memories. Remember Abraxas, Treasureland, Wonderland, Arwen, Pegazus, Thy Majesty, Skylark. The album cover art was great back then.

amazing news....I loved that band. Have you hear Ironware....it is Pasi's other band from a while back. really good also.

Yep. I was listening to Breakout last night and suggested Freterina to a friend of mine, who looked them up on Encyclopedia Metallium or whatever it is, and it said they're Active. Of course, I blurted "they're lying". Checked out the link and was lead to this great news! Now to get them to Progpower....

All good bands! Pegazus was the only one that didn't do anything for me at all. Wonderland had a fantastic singer; hopefully they re-surface. Also just listened to Abraxas like a month ago; that CD always surprises me, in that its better than I remember.

Ah, some memories indeed!

Abraxas- bought that one in 1999. It was all right. I no longer have it and wouldn't really buy it again.

Arwen-bought two CDs from them, neither were that good.

Pegazus-don't own any CDs, but downloaded a few random tracks to see if I'd be interested in buying anything. Nope, although there were a couple of decent tracks.

Thy Majestie- They actually keep getting better with each release.

Skylark- Maddening band. Lots of talent but can't produce a CD. You'd think by now they'd get Sasch Paeth or Tommy Hansen to help them out, but Eddy Antonini keeps on giving Skylark albums the same crappy production. Plus a couple of really horrible style changes along the way. It's almost like they are crying for help. "Stop us, before we suck again!" But they are actually talented, so I keep buying, hoping the next album will be the one where they realize their potential.

 

[DemonOfTheWoods]

Yep. I was listening to Breakout last night

I was listening to that last week!!

Thanks for the Freternia news. Great band!!
A Nightmare Story was one of the first CDs I bought at my first PP experience (which was PPV)
