Biography
Formed by ex-members of the legendary band EARTH CRISIS, FREYA is a mixture of their former band’s aggressive style with a heavy dose of melody. The songs are concise musical soundscapes that tell personal stories using imagery from the Norse Myths.
FREYA is Karl Buechner on vocals, Erick Edwards on lead guitar and Bulldog on rhythm guitar, during their ten year run as Earth Crisis sold over 300,000 albums worldwide. They did extensive touring throughout the U.S., Europe, Japan and South America. Forming Freya with Tony Tornabene on drums and Ethan D. Henry on bass, the Syracuse-based band has gained international recognition through MTV shows like Road Rules and Room Raiders and Headbanger’s Ball. They also have been interviewed and received positive reviews in Kerrang, Decibel, AMP Magazine and Metal Hammer. FREYA has played with everyone from HATEBREED and CROWBAR to NON-POINT and ANDREW W.K.
In 2003 FREYA released their debut album "AS THE LAST LIGHT DRAINS". The album was a musical experiment that combined metallic hardcore with a deftone-esque style of rock, it was well-received by critics and fans alike .The video for the title track aired for months on MTV2’s Headbanger’s Ball.
The album was promoted by tour dates with Victory label mates SILVERSTEIN and was also supported by headlining slots at HELLFEST, The Annual Syracuse New Years Day Festival and a sold out BONEFEST show.
The new material on FREYA’s Split CD, with California-based band HOODS, is a molten mix of the darkest elements of hardcore and metal, fused into an incredibly powerful and unique sound. Consistently true to their roots, FREYA teamed together with P.E.T.A.2 to make a video for their anti-vivisection song titled " STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE ". These tracks let fans know what to expect from the band on their upcoming album "LIFT THE CURSE”. Be on the lookout for the new video and concert dates through out the northeast in spring and summer 2005.
