Frentrum

The Profile

Frentrum is an Italian black metal project presented in reviews as originating from Abruzzo with a claimed formation date of 1996. Their 2014 material (limited cassette and CD) channels 1990s Norwegian-style black metal, with Italian lyrics and explicit influences cited as Burzum and Darkthrone.

Reviews report a limited cassette release (Demo 2014) and a CD/EP (Dalle Profondità) produced with Land Of Fog Records; material includes covers of Darkthrone's "Transilvanian Hunger" and a GG Allin cover. Production and presentation intentionally favour a lo-fi/vintage aesthetic; critics note faithful homage to early Norwegian black metal alongside criticisms about originality and some production choices.

Three DeBaser reviews (ratings: 4, 4, 2) cover Frentrum's 2014 releases. Reviews praise the faithful homage to 1990s Norwegian-style black metal, limited cassette/CD presentations and standout covers, while criticizing lack of originality and some production/format choices.
