Bloodstock Festival Countdown : 30 Bands Not To Miss

5. Frayle - Sophie Lancaster Stage - Sunday late Morning

Frayle are low-key and haunting. They produce metal that is doused with fragile vulnerability and ethereal refrains. They prove that you don’t need to be heavy to have weight and mass. There is a minimal maudlin nature to their sound. Gwyn Strang’s vocals exists just on the edge of the human hearing range. They are down-tuned in pitch and full of dark, witchy pleasures. This is post-goth, operating at the edge of Goths' comfort zone. Whatever it is, it is perfect Sunday hangover music.
