Being impressed with the mesmerizing music of Pantheist and Evoken, Val founded his own Funeral Doom Metal project “Fowning” in January 2011 and soon started to record songs for his own pleasure and they only remained as uploads on YouTube. April 2014 saw the first substantial release of the project, a split release with the British Doom Metal band "Aphonic Threnody”, entitled as "Aphonic Threnody VS. Frowning of Graves, of Worms and Epitaphs”. That split release paved the way to get a contract with California based label Wretched Records. "Funeral Impressions", the debut full length of the band was released on October 25^th, 2014 under Wretched Records and Solitude Productions. The majestic gloomy sound of this album turned the band into an admirable name inside the Funeral Doom Metal scene.

In 2016, Val started working on the new material for Frowning and signed to Swedish label Black Lion Records for releasing the highly-anticipated sophomore full length “Extinct”, a nice follow up to the debut album that took the world by storm. Extinct contains 5 stunning tracks of pure Funeral Doom. Mournful gut-wrenching growls, eerie cold melodic atmosphere, desolate tones of acoustic guitar, slow, crumbling and drone oriented riffs — all of these elements of the album ensure that a phenomenal Funeral Doom journey is awaiting for the listeners.

"Extinct" is continuing the debute "Funeral Impressions". The atmosphere on the new album got a little bit colder, also I worked together with some of my favorite singers. Stanislav Govorukha (Suffer Yourself) and Hekjal (Ad Cinerem) featured on the first two songs of the album. The biggest difference to "Funeral Impressions" is the sound, which got a lot better and pushes the dark and cold atmosphere. Content of the album is Extinction like the title says. Frowning still spreads depression, suicide, despair, death and abyss."
