Synopsis

Album Description
Karl, Eric, and Bulldog, the former foundation of EARTH CRISIS are back, coiled and ready to strike with FREYA. FREYA is the musical manifestation of abandonment, revenge, solitude and misery funneled through an accessibly melodic and brutally pulverizing soundtrack. As The Last Light Drainseliminates any preconceived notions of what ex-EARTH CRISIS members would deliver in the next phase of their career. This is a visionary band that has created a musical and conceptual hard rock masterpiece.

CD Reviews

Hardly Better Than Earth Crisis
Arthur Kicker | Your Mom's House | 07/10/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Freya is the band that a couple of members from Earth Crisis formed up after EC disbanded. They play melodic hardcore, much in the vein of the last EC full-length, 'Slither'. They're nowhere near as hard as EC was and the lyrics here are not militant sXe. I'm not saying thats a bad thing but you have to realize that Freya is definitely not EC.



'As The Last Light Drains' is a good album but hardly great. Anyone who thinks that this album can stand up to EC tracks like "All Out War", "Gomorrah's Season Ends", "Firestorm", "Broken Foundation" or "Stand By" is absolutely insane.



EC was one of the best hardcore bands of all-time. Freya is good no doubt, but they can't hold EC's jockstrap."
Will leave you begging for more

"If you had followed Earth Crisis like I have been for a while now. You'd know theres talent within these guys, from "Breed The Killers" to "Firestorm" to "Last Of The Sane"... Earth Crisis was a political monster that seemed unsilenceably dominant over straight edge hardcore/metal music. Now 2003 A.D. Earth Crisis boils away as Freya arises. Not just Karl, Eric and Bulldog but a new drummer and 2nd singer/guitarist too! They flow together perfectly, no politics here just artistic expression that rivals the best in Hardcore/Metal today. This is a fantastic album, full of hooks, grinding riffs, and talent talent talent. This CD is perfect length under 40 minutes, straight up, to the point one of the best things to come out of Victory to date and one of the best CDs I've gotten my hands on all year! The gods are on your side."
Freya Rocks!

"I was surprised when I heard Karl singing melodies but he pulls it off really well. The songs have heavy parts mixed well with catchy melodies a-la Poison the Well. There is a good mixture of good old fashioned "E-Crisis" screaming and kick [butt] grooves on the album too. I wasn't expecting much from this disc and it turned out to be my fave purchase of the year. This is a great release!"
