Frontside is a Polish metalcore / deathcore band from Sosnowiec, Poland that Astek and Demon formed in 1993. They compose and perform their songs in English and Polish.
History Astek and Demon formed the band in 1993 in Sosnowiec, Poland. Early Frontside productions were hardcore songs with influence from other genres, such as hip-hop. Compositions often included rapping, samples and scratching. These experiments ended on Our Is Kingdom... in 2001, replaced with riffs akin to thrash and death metal and harsh vocals. In mid-2003, Auman, from Polish thrash metal band Totem, joined as the new vocalist when Astek left, and Daron became the new guitarist after Simon left. They changed the band's direction toward death metal, with characteristic riffs and death growling. Along with those aspects, the band incorporated clean vocals.
