Eighteen Hundred And Froze To Death is the second full length album from the German melodic death metal band Halls of Oblivion.

Step into the haunting realm where melancholy, sorrow, and despair converge to construct a fictional sonic edifice of merciless riffs and weighty verses. Welcome to the enigmatic world of the HALLS OF OBLIVION!

Originating from Southern Germany in 2007, this band emerged as a vessel to channel the raw aggression and desolation that pulses within its members, giving birth to blackened extreme metal compositions. Following their previous release, "Endtime Poetry," the quartet comprised of Sebastian Ruf (vocals, guitars), Marcel Welte (lead guitars), Markus Kristen (bass), and Max Beck (drums) now unveils their latest masterpiece, "Eighteen Hundred And Froze To Death."

Kicking off with a more restrained prelude, '01_8°14‘43‘‘S 117°59‘34‘‘E’ erupts into a black metal onslaught, only to gently guide the listener into more atmospheric and acoustic soundscapes toward its conclusion. The versatile 'Dusk' unfolds, taking you on a multifaceted journey. 'Buried By The Blackest Sand' oscillates between mid-tempo and frenetic rhythms, seamlessly interweaving atmospheric clean vocals in its midst. 'Red Snow,' rooted in mid-tempo, showcases the band's melodic death metal influences, all while retaining its pitch-black allure. The profound despair of 'In The Absence Of Light' immediately grips the soul, refusing to release its grip until the final notes. The closing track, 'Dawn,' serves as both a farewell and a glimpse of hope, a fitting conclusion to this captivating musical odyssey.
