Heretics & Lullabies
Darkness never sounded so pure – witch doom reborn!
Following international performances at festivals such as Damnation, Desertfest, Soul Crusher,
Gloomnar, Post Fest and Inkcarceration, FRAYLE vows to enrapture audiences with their third
full length album, entitled Heretics & Lullabies, out in October 2025 via Napalm Records. For
several years, Cleveland, Ohio's FRAYLE has been lauded as one of the fastest-rising, most
haunting currently active modern doom metal outfits. Noted first by Revolver Magazine as a
band to watch in 2023, and then again by Knotfest for the following year, the band continues to
infuse their sound with new eclectic elements and reinvent their ghostly trademark sonic profile.
Merging the heaviness of occult-driven doom and blackgaze with frontwoman Gwyn Strang's
distinctively eerie vocal stylings and the crushing guitars of Sean Bilovecky, the band has fully
realized their "lullabies of chaos" musical vision with Heretics & Lullabies.
Recorded by FRAYLE and produced, mixed and mastered by Aaron Chaparian at Iron Audio
(Bleeding Through, Harms Way), Heretics & Lullabies kicks off with first single “Walking
Wounded”, a whispering wall-of-sound that crushes with spine-tingling stacks of harmony. The
deeply punishing atmosphere continues into second track “Summertime Sadness”, an entirely
reworked doom-laden cover of the Lana Del Rey hit. Airy anthem “Boo” injects mid-tempo flavor
and multifaceted vocal balance into the album as crushing weight lands alongside each hook,
with bending guitar tone and dark, sparkling atmosphere ...
