Hailing from Kelowna, British Columbia, FREEZE THE FALL is a dynamic trio that has quickly carved a niche within the hard rock and metal scene. Formed in 2023, the band consists of Quinn Mitzel on guitar and vocals, Aria Becker on bass and backup vocals, and Jonah Goncalves on drums. Together, they bring a fresh fervor to the modern rock landscape, melding elements of metalcore, nu metal, and hard rock with a deeply narrative-driven approach to their music.
FREEZE THE FALL began making waves shortly after their formation. Their breakthrough came with a viral cover of THE WARNING’s “Evolve,” which caught the attention of both fans and industry insiders. This early success led to their debut single, "Glitch," in February 2024 and subsequently secured them a distribution deal with 604 Records. Their debut EP, Thrones, released in July 2024, showcased their ability to blend intense instrumentation with lyrical depth, earning them nominations for Best Music Video at the Okanagan Screen Awards 2025 for the singles "VHS" and "Hypothermia."
Inspired by the likes of BRING ME THE HORIZON, EVANESCENCE, and SPIRITBOX, FREEZE THE FALL crafts songs that explore the complexities of human emotion and societal issues. Their music features emotive vocals, thunderous bass lines, and blistering guitar riffs, paying homage to ‘90s grunge and ‘00s alt metal while pushing the boundaries with their modern sound.
The band’s creative process is marked by a collaborative spirit and a shared passion for storytelling through music. Each track they create is not just a song but a chapter in a larger narrative, exploring themes from misinformation and the impact of digital anonymity to personal introspection and societal critique.
With their second EP, The Red Garden, released in 2025, FREEZE THE FALL continues to expand their sonic landscape. This project dives deeper into experimental sounds and elaborate storytelling, weaving a tapestry of lore and emotional intensity that challenges the listener while providing a cathartic musical experience.
FREEZE THE FALL not only aims to make music that resonates on a personal level but also seeks to create a lasting impact, pushing the boundaries of rock music with every note and lyric. As they continue to grow and evolve, their journey is one of relentless creativity and a commitment to making music that matters.
