ABOUT

Founded in 2002 in Hermsdorf, Germany by frontman Lon Fright, The Fright evolved from horror-punk into a Dark/Gothic Rock force.

In 2025, their sound channels the ’80s-wave melancholy of The Cure, wrapped in guitar-driven intensity akin to The Sisters Of Mercy and Type O Negative, with heavier, metallic tones lurking beneath.

Albums like Canto V (2017) – inspired by Dante’s Inferno and produced by Waldemar Sorychta – delivered haunting synth textures, memorable riffs, and powerful vocals. Their latest work, Voices Within (2022), dives deeper into emotional depths while maintaining melodic hooks and dark energy.

With a legacy of European tours alongside acts like The Other and The 69 Eyes, The Fright continue to captivate with their unique blend of gothic drama and hard-hitting rock.
