Frontside is a Polish metalcore / deathcore band from Sosnowiec, Poland, formed by Astek and Demon in 1993. They compose and perform their songs in both English and Polish.

History[edit]

The band was formed in 1993 in Sosnowiec, Poland by Astek and Demon. Early Frontside productions were hardcore songs with influence from many other genres, such as hip-hop. Compositions often included rapping, samples and scratching. However, these musical experiments ended on Our Is Kingdom... in 2001; they were replaced by riffs akin to thrash and death metal and harsh vocals. In mid-2003, Auman from the Polish thrash metal band Totem joined as the new vocalist when Astek left, and Daron became the new guitarist after Simon left. Together, they changed the band's musical direction more toward death metal, with characteristic riffs and death growling. Along with those aspects, the band also incorporated clean vocals.
