"We are beyond excited for the world to hear The Red Garden," shares the band. "This was such a fun project to work on. As our second EP, we had more opportunity this time around to really explore storytelling and combine our creative influences to create something that really represents us. This concept album explores various social issues that as young people we see play out every day around us, and that we are part of. We talk about social media, technology, the anonymity and falsities that creates, and the imbalance of power that can emerge through these issues. We hope that when fans listen to these songs they will find something in them to connect to, that is always what matters the most."

The focus track, “Rot,” is a standout moment on the EP. A visceral and cutting reflection on the addictive nature of modern technology. It is a gripping, high energy cut that dissects our obsession with digital validation and the lies we’re fed online. With pummeling riffs and a searing vocal performance, it channels frustration into catharsis, perfectly capturing the EP’s themes of isolation and disillusionment. As the band explains, it’s “a song that shows the addictive nature of phones and how we’re blinded by the lies we consume on a daily basis. The majority of what distracts us is misinformative, and we are consumed by it.

Opening the EP is “Denial,” a blistering one minute intro track that sets the tone with urgency and intent. Featuring thunderous drums, distorted textures, and a distorted spoken word passage, it acts as a call to arms launching listeners headfirst into the chaos and clarity that defines The Red Garden. Rounding out the emotional arc of the EP is “Lace.” The haunting closer brings the project full circle with a slow burning, cinematic soundscape. Its layered instrumentation and soaring finale unravel themes of vulnerability and emotional unraveling, leaving listeners with a lasting sense of both devastation and hope.

The Red Garden’s four previous singles “Oubliette,” “Aurora,” “Hypothermia,” and “VHS” showcase Freeze the Fall’s evolution in both sound and storytelling. “Oubliette,” a tightly crafted cut added to CBC Music’s Canadian Metal, blends aggressive riffs with haunting lyricism as it explores the desire to return to a simpler time, asking whether we all wish to preserve a younger version of ourselves. “Aurora” is an anthemic reminder of our shared human experience, calling for connection over division, while “Hypothermia”, named as one of Revolver Magazine’s “6 Best New Songs,” tackles the cold reality of online anonymity and the exhausting pursuit of perfection in digital spaces. “VHS” explores the corruptive allure of power and how easily people fall into cycles of blind allegiance and manipulation. Together, these tracks represent an intense, raw, and emotionally resonant shift marked by the EP’s cold, isolating atmosphere, post-metal textures, and soaring, cathartic instrumentation.

Despite only releasing their debut EP Thrones in 2024, Freeze the Fall has built an incredibly passionate and dedicated fanbase, dubbed The Cold Front, across Patreon, Discord, and YouTube, which includes over 600 YouTube reactions. Freeze the Fall received thousands of fan votes to secure a spot at Laketown Ranch, where they’ll share the stage with mega acts like Nickelback, The Glorious Sons, and Sam Roberts Band in August. In addition to this, the group’s highly cinematic music videos won two Okanagan Screen Awards earlier this year, and the trio’s first Toronto headline show at NXNE sold out with fans flying in from Philly, New Mexico, Montreal and more.
