The USA-based ethereal doom metal dealers Frayle, following recent sonic gifts of grimness "Walking Wounded" and "Summertime Sadness" (Lana Del Rey cover) – both of which saw rabid response from acclaimed media and fans alike – recently returned fresh off their European tour with a third single, the slinking, doom-rocking "Heretic". The track appears on the band's upcoming third full-length album, Heretics & Lullabies, out 10 October via Napalm Records.
Standout single "Heretic" injects heavy rock edge and arena-ready drums into the album's doom-laden procession, adding to its multi-faceted nature. The track arrives alongside another beautifully cinematic music video.
Frayle says about "Heretic": "'Heretic' explores the nature of heresy, spiritual struggle and the rejection of religious dogma. Just because we reject spiritual conformity and societal norms, does this, in and of itself, make us a 'bad person'? Is god a supreme being, the collective subconscious, or simply an ideal? We believe that relying on yourself and your own morals can ultimately evolve into being your own savior. We are all gods."
