Frigid Bich created some great heavy metal anthems in the early 1980s. They were on the verge of making it big, but somehow they never quite made it. During 2016, the classic line-up of the band started rehearsing again. Here’s a video of what Frigid Bich sounds like in 2017. It’s a re-recording of their classic “Tyrants of a Generation”. Who would’ve thought, eh? Bleeding fantastic!
