I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of reviewing their 2016 self-titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/rimfrost-rimfrost-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">record<\/a> and 2019&#8217;s monstrous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/rimfrost-expedition-darkness-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Expedition: Darkness<\/i><\/a>. I loved the latter album so much it took my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/dr-a-n-griers-top-tenish-of-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top spot<\/a> and received my <i>only<\/i> 4.5\/5.0 to date. But, before 2019 was a wrap, tragedy struck. I was literally listening to the <i>Expedition: Darkness<\/i> at the gym when I heard <b>Rimfrost<\/b> called it quits. I&#8217;ve never returned to the gym. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">But, as Covid was out dry-humping every person on the planet, <b>Rimfrost<\/b>&#8217;s Throllv and Khratos were in the studio. Putting <b>Rimfrost<\/b> behind them, the duo cranked out eleven songs under the moniker <b>Son of Sam<\/b>. As part of their independent campaign to release their full-length <i>And the Monster Awakes&#8230;<\/i>, Throllv reached out in hopes of an exclusive interview with AMG&#8217;s <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Dr. Nice Guy<\/strong><\/span>. While putting together the interview, Throllv informed me that he and Khratos reunited with their <b>Rimfrost<\/b> compatriot Hravn. Hravn will now be playing guitars for <b>Son of Sam<\/b>. The way Throllv describes it, Hravn and him have had a longer friendship than I&#8217;ve ever had in my life. My grumpy heart elated, I stepped into the gym once more.<sup class='footnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/an-interview-with-rimfrost-and-son-of-sam\/#fn-151688-1' id='fnref-151688-1' onclick='return fdfootnote_show(151688)'>1<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Below I&#8217;ve tried to compile the highlights of the amazing hour-and-a-half conversation I had with the guys back in June.

I know what you&#8217;re going to say, <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Steel<\/b><\/span>, but it wasn&#8217;t my fault. After getting the video and mics situated, I found myself in the guy&#8217;s long-time studio space. In front of floor-to-ceiling posters, banners, and other paraphernalia sat three of the ugliest dudes I&#8217;ve ever met. Then my wifi caught up, and I realized they looked like normal human beings after all. In this ninety-minute chat, we covered everything from the new <b>Son of Sam<\/b> record, the success of <b>Rimfrost<\/b>, doo-wop, horror movies, Hravn&#8217;s dream to live with Rob Halford, and what happens when Throllv drops his trousers.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Like all great chats, we covered a LOT. And laughed even more. This is definitely one of those &#8220;I wish you had been there moments.&#8221; But, being the greedy cunt that I am, I&#8217;m glad I got to share it with the band, and no one else. But, as a result of our killer conversation, I couldn&#8217;t compile <i>everything <\/i>we talked about. But I hope you all enjoy what I did put into print.

So, it looks like we take everything from Danzig.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Hravn<\/strong>: I chose the song title for &#8220;Samhain&#8221; because I love horror movies, and Michael Myers is my favorite. If you read the lyrics, the song&#8217;s about the opening scene of <i>Halloween<\/i>. But, yeah, do you think Danzig is pissed off, perhaps? (All laugh.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Throllv<\/strong>: I don&#8217;t think he knows about <b>Rimfrost<\/b>.

We recorded the foundation of <i>Expedition: Darkness<\/i> live in the studio. What you hear is exactly what we did.

But, I guess when <b>Rimfrost<\/b> was put down, I just had to do it.

I remember you wrote the main riff (points to Khratos) and I wrote the verse. You (points to Throllv) wrote the pre-chorus and chorus. Then we put it all together and it was like a&#8230; magic soup. It&#8217;s really fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Is one band member more responsible for a sound in Rimfrost than another?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Throllv<\/strong>: I usually write most of the epic, atmospheric sounds in songs.
