November 3, 2005FREYA, the new band featuring former EARTH CRISIS members Karl Buechner (vocals),Bulldog (bass, backing vocals),and Erick Edwards (guitar),have posted the following message on their official web site:
"It's been a busy time for FREYA. Dennis Merrick [drums], formerly of [EARTH CRISIS], has joined us and played his first show in Ogdensburg, NY. The band sounds stronger than ever. We had a great response and are looking forward to playing there again next year. We had some awesome shows with IF HOPE DIES, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, YESTERDAY TOMORROW, and NUMBER 2. Look for some show dates with FREYA and IF HOPE DIES this winter/spring.
"Karl just got back froma tour with A PERFECT MURDER where he filled in on vocals. They toured throughout Quebec and Ontario with TEARS FROM THE SKY. Karl had a great time with A PERFECT MURDER and is thankful for all the kind words from the fans he met up there. While in Canada he met with Mercedes from KITTIE. Her company, Poison Black, now sponsors FREYA as well as Motive Clothing Company and Eblood from Europe.
"Straight-edge legends DAMNATION will be recording in the next couple of months, and Karl will be doing some guest vocals with Mike DC. EARTH CRISIS toured the States with them back in the day and we had an awesome time together. Erick has recently recorded the former members of AMERICAN NIGHTMARE's new band as well as WHITE OUT and THE UNHOLY.
"This winter PETA2 will be having a benefit festival in Boston. So far the roster is SHADOWS FALL, FIRST BLOOD, and FREYA. 'The Struggle to Survive' video we did with them has recently reached its 100,000 mark and is going into its second print this month.
"We are finishing writing songs for the new album and will tour after 'Lift the Curse' is released."
FREYA's debut album, "As the Last Light Drains", was released in 2003 via Victory Records.
