Like an air-raid siren warning of death from above, Frozen Soul is proud to announce their latest album No Place of Warmth due via Century Media on May 8th, 2026. In five short years, the Dallas-based death metal quartet has not only captured the attention of countless fans of extreme music, but pulverized expectations into a pillowy, nondescript cloud of ash and dust. Frozen Soul’s time is now and their latest entry No Place of Warmth is their most definitive and rancorous statement.
No Place of Warmth is the band’s third album, a monolithic, majestic and exigent collection of anthems built on the perfect blend of ferocity and subtle melody, allowing soaring guitar leads to guide a lantern through the dark chasm of merciless riffs. The trio of Michael Munday (guitar), Samantha Mobley (bass), and Chris Bonner provide the snarling, muscular guitar meat to attach to Matt Dennard (drums) thundering double-bass framework, making for a galloping instrumental roar only offset by vocalist Chad Green’s unholy, sandpaper-y bellow. Green’s vocals also serve multiple functions, sitting somewhere between spiritual guide, dungeon master and soothsayer, delivering tales of unending battles and vanquishing foes. Musically, No Place of Warmth is staunchly death metal, leaning into the unchecked aggression of hardcore punk while maintaining the band’s Texas-sized sound mixing classic American death metal (Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Mortician, Mota Skuld) and early Earache ruination (Carcass, Bolt Thrower, etc).
No Place of Warmth sees Frozen Soul distilled to its primordial essence– no frilly edges, no indulgent ambient passages, just pure steamrolling death metal destruction at its most clinical. The result is the ultimate version of the band, hellbent on shock and awe and maximal minimalism– across eleven new songs, Frozen Soul keep it brief and focused, emphasizing brutality but with an ear for hooks. No Place of Warmth is a pinnacle for the band, and a shining example of flawless execution, inline with classics like Tomb of the Mutilated, Cause of Death, Heartwork, and Hacked Up for BBQ. “Our mindset was to stop overthinking it and trying to write the most epic song,” recalls vocalist Green.
While the title No Place of Warmth may hint towards subject matter on a glacial terra incognita, ever-expanding and devoid of signs of life, the record is also very much the opposite. Frozen Soul’s latest album not only tells tales of the dark territories that come with dealing with the everyday struggle, it also surveys the wasteland in the wake of their triumph. It’s an open letter to fans that decries the cold realities of life yet gives them the tools and the motivation to conquer on their own. “Each song on this record has its own meaning and influences that helped make them what they are, but in their essence are written to give the listener that extra push and power they need to fight those everyday battles. These songs are built to say ‘We won’t be swept away by its winds; we can and we will move forward,’” says Green emphatically.
This time they’ve brought a gang to join them. The band grabbed a trio of incredible collaborators for inclusion– Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance, Devin Swank from Sanguisugabogg and Rob Flynn from Machine Head, and though each adds their distinctive swagger to the album, none can overshadow the mechanized killing machine behind Frozen Soul. “Anytime we have features, it’s with friends and bands that we love and respect who share the same feelings and emotion that we’re trying to get across in the song,” says Green. “Gerard, Rob and Devin all added their own unique styles and love into the songs and really helped bring them to life. It was an absolute pleasure working with them.”
Frozen Soul looked to noted producer Josh Schroeder and Random Awesome Studio to do the heavy lifting with No Place of Warmth, spending six weeks in Midland, Michigan for the recording. The session proved to be a bit different than those before, as Frozen Soul entered the studio’s halls with a bit of a blank slate, having used much of what they had written to date after years of focused touring and recording. As a result, the band wrote every night and during the day in Midland, working with Schroder to tune the songs and going off of instinct, instead of working and tuning an unfinished idea to death. “We took this opportunity to change and try new things– we would go into the basement of where we were staying and just write and immediately we started catching our groove,” states Green.
From the whispered promises that came with their 2019 demo to their escalating status as one of the key bands in modern extreme music, Frozen Soul has come a long way in a relatively short time. After two sanguinary LPs now in the rearview, a slew of tour dates with gods of extreme music, and even a festival of their own in Wrecking Ball Metal Madness, Frozen Soul’s unquenchable bloodthirst and eagerness to move ever forward into battle will lead the band towards extensive touring in 2026 and beyond.
Chad Green

I was born in may of 1986 in Fort Worth Texas. My life has always revolved around music in some way. Before I knew anything about music when I was just a toddler my grandparents owned a rock club in Fort Worth and both of my parents worked there at the time. My mom would bring me to work and there were always bands playing. Growing up my dad always listened to heavy metal stuff like Metallica, AC/DC and stuff like that and when I was in middle school my mom started getting me CDs of heavier bands and then through high school I met friends who got me into hardcore, metalcore and death metal.
Around 11th grade I got my first drum set and knew I wanted to be a musician and play in a band. I worked relentlessly to get good enough to play in a band and when I was a senior in high school it finally happened. From there I met new people and just kept falling down the rabbit hole of extreme music. In 2007 I formed End Times we started out as a hardcore band influenced by bands like integrity and trial turned into a more heavy metal influenced death metal band. In 2012 I formed Vulgar Display with some friends from Dallas and ended up touring the country 3 or so times before the band dismantled in 2016. From there I met Michael when I was worked at a local comic and game store and decided to start a band, we got together with friends and named the band Frozen Soul, it ended up not working out so with Michael I reignited End Times. While recording our newest record we decided to get Frozen Soul back together, and spent the next 2 years hard at work to get where I am today. Aside from music, video games and movies are a huge part of my life.
Some of my biggest musical influences are, Lars and James of Metallica, Max and Igor of Cavalera Conspiracy and ex Sepultura, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Karl Willets of Bolt Thrower, Dwid Hellion of Integrity, John and Donald Tardy of Obituary, John Bonham of Led Zepplin, and Roger Beaujard of Mortician.
Honorable mentions : Merauder, The Cro Mags, Sentenced, Devourment, White Zombie, Depche Mode.
Favorite games: Halo series, Boogerman, Primal Rage, Spawn for Dreamcast, Ark Survival Evolved and Apex Legends.
Favorite movies: Hellraiser 1-3, The Matrix, Idiocracy, Anchorman, Halloween, Warriors of Virtue, Turbokid, The Thing, Lord of the Rings, and I’m a sucker for super hero movies!
Matt Dennard
I grew up in Euless, Texas mostly listening to movie soundtracks as a kid, so I guess my taste has always been open and across the board. But it wasn’t until getting involved in metal and hardcore around the DFW area that I found something which made me want to move and I just kept itching for more. From then on it felt like no matter how my day went or what happened, there‘s always a record I can put on that will fire me up to go to a show or take it to the drum kit.
I use an acrylic Tama Silverstar with a 14” Crush snare drum, Zildjian A-Custom crashes and hi-hat, and a Paiste Reign Power Ride. My favorite bands are Black Sabbath, Sepultura, and Death!

Michael Munday

I grew up in North Richland Hills, Texas and spent a lot of my free time playing video games like The Legend of Zelda series, Halo, and Guitar Hero. I got my first guitar when I was 9 and have been playing ever since. I was first introduced to metal through my parents CD collection which had bands like Metallica, White Zombie, and Korn amongst several others. As i got older i discovered more bands through the internet and have been in the rabbit hole ever since. When i graduated high school i started going to shows around the DFW area and have been playing in bands since then.
Currently i play a 1986 USA B.C. Rich Ironbird with a pearlescent blue finish. It’s got set of EMG 81X/85X pickups, Kahler tremolo with a 25.5” scale, made out of mahogany with a rosewood fretboard. For pedals I use a Boss TU-3, a Maxon ST9 Pro+, and an ISP Decimator into a Peavey 6505 hooked up to 2 oversize Mesa 4x12 cabinets. For samples i use a Digitech JamMan loop station.
Some of my influences are James Hetfield & Cliff Burton (Metallica), Jeff Hanneman (Slayer), Alex Webster & Pat O’Brien (Cannibal Corpse), Chuck Schuldiner (Death), Gavin Ward (Bolt Thrower), and Roger Beaujard (Mortician)
Chris Bonner
I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas and was raised in Joshua, Texas. I was first introduced to music through my father who played guitar in heavy metal bands around the DFW area in the 80s/90s. My dad's band used to play with Pantera in the early days so Pantera was always being played around the house. At the age of 14 I got interested in playing music and to rebel against my parents I decided to start playing Punk. As I got more into punk I started to discover the connections between both punk and metal. Through UK hardcore punk bands like Discharge,Sacrilege,GBH and Extreme Noise Terror he was able to discover bands like Bolt Thrower, Carcass and Napalm Death. When I started to get into swedish hardcore punk bands like Anti Cimex, Totalitar and Wolf Pack I started to discover bands like Dismember, Entombed, At the Gates and Grave. As the lines between punk and metal started to blur in the bands I was listening to and playing in I started to have a new understanding of how both genres were connected. Once I heard Japanese hardcore punk bands Crude, Death Side and Bastard along with american hardcore punk band Poison Idea it confirmed to me that just because you played punk doesn't mean you can't be good at your intsruments and that without punk there wouldn't be the more extreme side of metal. Since those days I have spent countless hours scouring the internet and record stores to find more underground and obscure metal and punk bands. In my early years I played in several hardcore punk bands and got to tour the US countless times as well as Japan and Europe.

Samantha Mobley

I was born and raised in Texas.
I have always loved art and music, and constantly created art as a child.
I was gifted my first guitar at the age of 10, and casually played off and on throughout the years. Trying to teach myself the basics in between my studies.
I grew up on 90's alternative music, and progressed into listening to heavier and heavier music in my teenage years.
Some of my favorite bands growing up and my biggest influences are : dissection, acid bath, cannibal corpse, dying fetus, bolt thrower, crowbar, black sabbath, pantera and type o negative.
My life reached a turning point a few years ago, and I decided I'd like to pursue the things that make me happy; art and music.
I reached out locally, and started playing bass in a black metal band. I cut my teeth with them and recorded a demo. While short lived, it allowed me to get my chops up ,
and then shortly after that band dissipated, I started playing in frozen soul.
I started a tattoo apprenticeship in 2019, and graduated to a full time tattoo artist that same year.
I am now a full time tattoo artist, and have played bass in frozen soul since we started in 2018.

As far as gear goes, I currently alternate between a 87 NJ BC Rich Warlock with DiMarzio pickups in it, and a 5 string Legacy Series Widow with active EMG pickups.
I also have an 87 Ironbird NJ series with EMG X's installed. My pedal board consists of a decimator, the lone wolf audio caveman pedal, and my tuner. For my cab I play on a 8X10 ampeg, and for my head I use an ampeg SVT4PRO. Pretty simple, but effective setup.
