Primalfrost was formed in early 2012 by Dean Arnold, being the sole force behind the band by playing all the instruments and composing all the music. The Idea behind the band was to bring elements of genres like folk metal, melodic death metal, black metal, orchestral music, and symphonic metal to an epic scale.
Prosperous Visions is the second album release from Primalfrost, incorporating all the elements stated above into a 55 minute epic metal album.
"Toronto based Dean Arnold age 18, of Primalfrost ( Vocalist and Guitarist) has become the lead guitarist of the band VITAL REMAINS. The band will be on tour from May 7th through April 19, 2015 with lead guitarist Dean Arnold. The band's tour will be at places such as Chile, Brazil and U.S.A." - Wikipedia March 2015
"RB: What is the status of the band members now? Can you tell us something about the new guys?
TL: We have a new drummer James Payne of the band Hour Of Penance. He brings a quick and brutal speed, as well as their professional attitude. It fits very well with the band and look forward to record with him soon. On guitar, we have a talented young man, a true "shredder" DEAN ARNOLD, bravo Canada! This guy brings so much energy and ideas to the family of VITAL REMAINS. He is always playing guitar all day, and continuously encourages us ... This reminds me of me when I was his age! (laughs) He's playing the solos so well that sometimes I think we're listening to the CD. (laughs) I think this is one of the best group line-ups since the 'Dechristianize' days." - Tony Lazaro interview in Rock Brigade (Brazil) March 2015
