New Music: Freeze the Fall: Kelowna Trio Unleashes Raw Emotion in "ROT"

Freeze the Fall is a hard-hitting rock trio from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Formed in 2022 by three high schoolers, the band has rapidly emerged as a significant force in the Canadian music scene. The lineup consists of Quinn Mitzel (vocals, guitar), Aria Becker (bass, backing vocals), and Jonah Goncalves (drums).

Their sound is a potent blend of edgy, hard-hitting rock reminiscent of the grungy rock era of the early '90s, with elements of melodic metal. They draw inspiration from modern giants like Spiritbox, Architects, The Warning, and Bring Me the Horizon. Freeze the Fall is celebrated for their explosive riffs, melodic intensity, and raw emotion, crafting lyrically compelling narratives that speak to the human experience. Their debut EP, Thrones (July 2024), earned national praise and two People's Choice Awards in their hometown. Now signed to 604 Records, they are set to release their sophomore EP, The Red Garden, in June 2025.

"ROT" is a new single by Freeze the Fall, released on June 18, 2025. It is a track from their upcoming second EP, "The Red Garden," which is also scheduled for release in June 2025.

Lyrically, "ROT" delves into themes of decay, loss, and internal struggle. The lyrics available online suggest a visceral exploration of negative emotions and the impact of destructive forces: "Your glow always strangles me. Take all that was mine. Discarded life I had mocks me as I fall again. Desperately digging for an unknown... Jester's lies just leave me wanting more (so, rot)." The song appears to convey a sense of being consumed or corrupted by external or internal pressures, questioning acceptance of this decay.
