Frayle are a band from Ohio that plays a mixture of blackgaze, goth and doom metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Heretics & Lullabies" which was released by Napalm Records.
A very slow, dark and heavy doom metal sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs along with the clear vocals also adding in more of a gothic metal style and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Clean playing is also added into certain sections of the album while whispered vocals can also be heard on a few tracks. Touches of alternative rock are also used quite a bit throughout the recording along with the solos and leads adding more of a post metal and blackgaze style, one of the tracks is also a Lana Del Ray cover as well as a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of harsh blackened vocals and growls and the whole recording also sticks to a slower direction.
Frayle plays a musical style that takes gothic, doom, post metal and blackgaze and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and Despair themes.

In my opinion Frayle are a very great sounding mixture of blackgaze, gothic, doom and post metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Walking Wounded" "Demons" "Hymn For The Living" and "Only Just Once". 8 out of 10.
