“Steel Onslaught”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em C
Blazing through the night, we ride,
G D
Underneath the moon’s ghostly light.
Em C
Steel horses roar, fueled by might,
G D
On the path of sound, we ignite.

(Chorus)
G D Em
Steel Onslaught, we’re Known Metal, hear our cry,
C G D
Through the thunder, through the lightning, we defy.

(Verse 2)
Em C
Battling the storm, no retreat,
G D
Our hearts drumming to the metal beat.
Em C
Shredding chords, none can defeat,
G D
In the forge of sound, we meet.

(Chorus)
G D Em
Steel Onslaught, we’re Known Metal, feel the surge,
C G D
In the anvil of the night, our voices merge.

Backstory:
In the crisp winter of 2014, there came a band that would soon become one of the most resonating names in the indie music scene, Frosty Rise. The band was formed in the small town of Binghamton, New York, when four childhood friends — Jake (lead vocalist), Liam (guitarist), Ben (bassist), and Charlie (drummer) — decided to escape the monotony of their 9-to-5 jobs and pursue their shared passion for music. Together, they began creating a unique blend of sounds in Jake’s basement, inspired by their shared love for the frosty winters of their hometown.

Frosty Rise’s popularity skyrocketed after winning the renowned Battle of the Bands competition in 2015, capturing the hearts of listeners with their soulful lyrics and raw, unfiltered sound. Since then, they have toured throughout the United States, earning a name for themselves as one of the most promising indie rock bands in the country.
