Zach Heyde – The Gates of Frostfell (Spotify)

Frostfell was written to depict a story of my own imagination: the tale of a Nordic town cursed for generations by an endless, bitter winter, and a young boy’s prophesied journey through the tundra to lift that curse.

This piece serves as an overture to the album, depicting the present state of the small town of Frostfell: barren, frozen farmlands, its citizens just barely clinging to life that once flourished.
