In fast, aggressive, yet melodic Metal spiced with tempo shifts and clever lead guitars delivered by Caparison guitarist Patrik Von Porat, the band has built a strong foundation for singer Pasi Humppi. With his unique voice and wide register Freternia gets instantly recognized.

Pasi possesses a charismatic stage prescence and loves to interact with the crowd.

A live performance with Freternia ensures neckache and sore throats.
