Tokyo-based industrial metal project GODFROST is preparing to unleash its latest chapter with the release of the new EP, Hanging Doll, arriving worldwide on September 18, 2026 via Brutal Records.

The release will be available in both digital and physical formats and distributed globally across major streaming platforms. Supported by an international promotional campaign, the EP marks a significant milestone for the project as it continues to expand its presence beyond Japan’s borders.

Led by musician Frost, who is also known for his work with Japanese grunge and gothic metal outfit Gods of Decay, GODFROST has steadily carved out its own identity within the darker corners of heavy music. While Gods of Decay gained recognition within Japan’s metal scene and achieved success on the Japanese iTunes charts, GODFROST explores a far more mechanical and oppressive sonic landscape.

Blending industrial metal with elements of doom, grunge and gothic darkness, GODFROST creates a sound that feels both cold and suffocating. Mechanical rhythms collide with distorted guitars and bleak atmospheres, resulting in music that is as immersive as it is crushing. Rather than relying solely on aggression, the project balances industrial precision with a sense of emotional decay, creating a world where despair and machinery exist side by side.

According to Brutal Records, the signing reflects the label’s ongoing commitment to supporting innovative and forward-thinking artists within the global extreme music scene. For GODFROST, it opens the door to a wider international audience eager to discover the project’s unique blend of industrial brutality and gothic melancholy.

With Hanging Doll set for release this September, listeners can expect a journey through a bleak sonic wasteland where rusted machinery, shadowy atmospheres and crushing heaviness converge into something both unsettling and captivating.

Hanging Doll will be released worldwide on September 18, 2026 via Brutal Records.
