Brutal Records is proud to announce the signing of Tokyo-based industrial metal project GODFROST to a worldwide multi-album agreement, marking a significant expansion of the artist’s global presence and reinforcing the label’s commitment to forward-thinking extreme music.
GODFROST is the solo industrial/metal project of Frost, who is also a key member of the grunge/goth metal act Gods of Decay—an established name in the Japanese heavy music scene, having achieved notable success including reaching #1 on the Japanese iTunes charts.
Blending extreme metal aggression with mechanical precision and dark, cinematic atmospheres, GODFROST represents the cutting edge of Japan’s underground industrial metal movement.
A Strategic Alliance in Extreme Metal
Founded in 1986 in New Orleans, Brutal Records has built a legacy as a driving force behind the global evolution of death metal, black metal, thrash, and industrial metal. With operations spanning Europe, South America, and Asia, the label continues to develop and promote innovative artists worldwide.
The signing of GODFROST further strengthens this global network and positions the project among the rising forces in the international extreme metal scene.
New EP Hanging Doll — July 2026
As part of the agreement, GODFROST will release the new EP Hanging Doll in July 2026. The record delivers a calculated fusion of crushing riffs, industrial textures, and modern production, targeting a global audience across streaming and physical formats.
This release marks a pivotal milestone in the evolution of GODFROST and serves as a major introduction to international listeners.
Produced by Lee Popa
The EP is produced and mixed by Lee Popa, known for his work with Ministry, KMFDM, Killing Joke, Tool, and Korn.
His production approach—combining industrial density with high-impact clarity—perfectly aligns with GODFROST’s aggressive and atmospheric direction.
