U.K Black Metal, signed to Candlelight Records. Eastern Front formed in October 2006 with a view to taking a new approach to Black Metal, which has been subsequently been labelled “War-Torn Black Metal”. Musically, they retain a traditional Black Metal sound while encompassing elements of Doom, Death, folk and classical to create an atmosphere deemed essential when exploring the history of WWII, through music. Writing from a historically, subjective and personal standpoint, each track evokes an emotional experiences of battle, encompassing hope, pride, comradeship, misery, sorrow and victory. After 3 years of touring and building a loyal fan base Eastern Front signed to Candlelight Records in 2010 and released their debut album “Blood On Snow” September that year. “Blood On Snow” was recorded and produced by Anders Backelin in Sweden at Andy LaRocque’s Sonic Train Studios and features a collaboration track by Les Smith (Anathema) and Brian Moss (DFA) entitled “Dvenadtzat Kilometrov ot Moskvy”.
