After crushing entire mountains on Relax (2008) and clearing whole continents of virgin forests with Uncivilised (2012), the quintet proposes to terraform Mars by projecting enormous chunks of ice floe with this new opus. The excitement is still there, like on the first day, at the time of listening to Empires Of Shame, Frustration's third album. "Only" the third, by the way, in almost fifteen years of existence, as is fitting for bands that don't surf any wave, but stubbornly dig the same screw thread into the load-bearing wall of legend, to hang there, once the work is finished, the medal of the best craftsman. "Frustration is one of the rare bands that, today, with very little press and a rather relative esteem from the media, plays to sold-out venues throughout France and manages to sell more than 10,000 copies of their albums, a feat that some, even though supported by promotional budgets calculated despite not giving a damn, no longer even dare to think about..." Lelo J. Batista.
