Frail

first band: shoegaze with black metal vox band from USA
"For people that don´t listen to black-metal music like me the black metal tag can be a little bit confusing, I guess. The most obvious black-metal element there is the typical black-metal scream, but there is not so much of it and it quite oddly fits with the music. Actually it sounds more like melancholic lo-fi shoegaze. Because of the atmosphere post-rock fans could like it as well"
