Freya, the Syracuse, New York-based band featuring former Earth Crisis members Karl Buechner (vocals) and Erick Edwards (guitar), has posted its video for the track "Suffer Not One" at the Underground Video Television web site. Directed by Rich Stahle, the clip is a performance video shot in two separate sections outdoors in an old roofless garage and in the band's rehearsal studio.
Freya recently announced the addition of guitarist
Jeddie Gentile and bassist
Mike LaGrow to the group's ranks.
Alternative Press stated in its February 2007 review of Freya's new album, "Lift the Curse" (Victory Records), that the group's music that can start prison riots. The CD, which came out in January, received four out of five stars in Revolver and a solid eight out of ten in Decibel and Outburn magazines.
Both critics and fans in the worldwide mainstream/underground metal and hardcore scenes agree that "Lift the Curse" is one of the most powerful and captivating releases of the year. Freya delivers the same dosage of ultra-aggressive metallic hardcore as they did with their former band, sans the technical approach. Buechner said in the Rhode Island-based Final Word fanzine, "We set out to streamline our sound on this one. This keeps things fresh for us after years of experimenting during Earth Crisis."
