Avant-garde/Progressive Metal Band FRIG has just released one of the most ambitious projects of refreshing the nature!

We are FRIG (translated as cold from the Romanian language) from Bucharest, Romania, and we craft our unique blend of metal and electronic music to create a new creative fusion of modern metal with avant-garde, doom, techno and industrial influences devoted to the theme of Cosmos.

The band strives to represent the frame of avant-garde metal music influenced by progressive and post-industrial metal styles that leaves the explorer band members open to experiment while still sticking to an eruptive sound.

About ‘genOm’

‘genOm’, our latest release, proposes one of the most ambitious projects of refreshing nature. There is evidence that the struggle for living in nature must imply each form of human understanding and expression. Music has become the easiest way of entering the universe of art and to comprehend it. The band members seem to have understood this aspect and with their second material, genOm, they try to develop a reforestation campaign of Romania, in the first place. Sadly, the Romanian forests are in a continuous disappearance, thus, as citizens of this fairy-like land and with virgin forests, the artists try to both arouse the interest and trigger an alarm signal.

‘genOm’ is available Digital only – with care for our environment, and our buyers will receive a package of a variety of exotic seeds and the necessary instructions. No plastic used, the package is all biodegradable.

‘genOm’ is known to have its inspiration from two different, yet inspiring areas. In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism. It consists of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses). The genome includes both the genes (the coding regions) and the noncoding DNA. The term genome was created in 1920 by Hans Winkler, professor of botany at the University of Hamburg, Germany. The Oxford Dictionary suggests the name is a blend of the words gene and chromosome.

The material also takes its name from Geosmin, a compound responsible for the earthy taste of beetroots and a contributor to the strong scent that occurs in the air when rain falls after a dry spell of weather or when soil is disturbed (its name is derived from the Ancient Greek geo- earth and osme – smell). It’s produced by various blue-green algae and filamentous bacteria in the class Actinomyces. What it’s truly amazing is that the human nose is extremely sensitive to geosmin and is able to detect it at concentrations as low as 5 parts per trillion.
