Finnish Turku-based metal band Frostbite Terror is set to release new EP later in 2025. The first single ‘Happy Ox’ is out today and it can be heard on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/ft-ox
“Happy Ox is our vision of double guitar harmony in concert with tight rhythm and solid rumbling drums and bass. Growl and edge-of-breakup vocals act as extra spice. Composing and recording the song was a fun experience, happening almost on its own. Happy Ox has been a work in progress from 2020 and it’s nice to finally release it. The song, being a bit in major key, gives a contrast to our more dark and melancholy songs.” says Olli Kuure (composer, lead guitar)
“The name “Happy Ox” comes from a suburban pub in our hometown, but soon got a life of its own much like many of our songs. The final lyrics are a mixture of anti-war and veganism — cannon and cow fodder. Frostbite Terror songs often turn both serious and comical subjects towards dark humor, in this case into blood sausage. The melodic and groovy background is perfect for howling like a bull, and I hope that joy is felt by the listener too.” Continues Otso Turunen (lyrics, vocals, bass)
