Everfrost Single Updated and New Cover


Everfrost
My band, Everfrost have now released an updated version of the Silver Nights, Golden Dreams single we originally made available in December, 2014. The track was in its early stages at that point and as the release of our upcoming album, Blue Eyed Emotion comes closer we decided to update the single release with the track in its current form.
The final album version will of course be polished some more and remastered, but here is a closer look into the album’s progression. I hope you enjoy the song along with the two B-sides and new album artwork! This release is available exclusively on Bandcamp.com

Recently I also made a metal cover of 'Shocking Party' by the band A-Rise from the anime Love Live! School Idol Project. It is available to stream on Soundcloud and I made a cover video for it on Youtube.
I'm very busy with our upcoming album at the moment as we are aiming to have the mix ready by the second week of November and then send it for mastering. There will be more news and information on the album coming next month!

Everfrost and Michiru Bokido Interview and Article

Everfrost

I have a big update about the upcoming Everfrost album and news about something very exciting we are bringing you!

The Blue Eyed Emotion album visually will combine anime/manga with our music to tell a story. I wouldn't call it a concept album but it is heavily story-based with characters who exist in the music and album visuals. I hadn't really seen this kind of thing done with anime and manga before outside of Japan so I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. But then we were lucky enough to get a chance to work with professional Japanese mangaka, Michiru Bokido!

It turned out that he was beginning work on a brand new manga of his own called 'Knight of Fae' and throughout this process invented a new form of manga he dubbed, 'manganoke'. The manganoke concept is to present a coloured manga comic and make the reader feel as if they are reading an anime. This will lead to a fully animated anime trailer for the book and we were asked to compose a song for it!

I will talk more about the song later but it will be coming soon with the trailer release. The song will also appear on our upcoming album so the trailer release will be like the first official single for the album. This has brought Michiru very close to the band and our music and we're ready to announce that he will illustrate the story and album visuals of 'Blue Eyed Emotion'!

We appeared in an article as Everfrost with Michiru and were interviewed by Mitch Campbell about the album, collaboration and manganoke. Check it out below or here!
