Cleveland, Ohio based doom purveyors FRAYLE have begun their triumphant return with a brand new single, the chillingly dense ‘Walking Wounded’. The track impresses with a whispering wall-of-sound that crushes with spine-tingling stacks of harmonies, providing a haunting showcase of what’s to come from the band in 2025. The song arrives alongside a cinematic music video drenched in macabre aesthetics, blending both elegant and eerie imagery.

When asked to describe ‘Walking Wounded’, FRAYLE simply cited a profound quote by Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie: “We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful. Otherwise you would threaten the man.”
 

FRAYLE will kick off their European headline tour – featuring several festival stops at the likes of Brutal Assault, Bloodstock, Summer Breeze and more – on August 4 in Katowice, Poland. The band has also confirmed additional USA performance dates in 2025, before and after the European tour.
