1. Frost are a Norwegian trip-hop act. From their website.

Norwegian trip-hop duo Frost is a collaboration between Aggie Peterson and Per Martinsen. Together they make melodic songs about changing the world backed by tasteful electronic sounds - more often than not touched by the all-embracing hand of disco.

Frost was initially formed in 1997 in Tromsø, Northern Norway, with singer/writer Miss Aggie Peterson and Norwegian Dub Disco entrepreneur DJ Rune Lindbæk at the core of the project. Together, and with the extended assistance of Mr. Torbjørn Brundtland (now Röyksopp) in addition to a few other hired hands, they produced the album “Bedsit Theories” in 1998. The album did very well in Norway, and the single “Clouds across the moon” – a cover version of the Rah Band classic, received heavy rotation on MTV in the summer of ’98.

In 1999 Aggie and Rune released the single “Endless Love”, with remixes by Röyksopp and duo Illumination/Chilluminati – of which electrohead and long time Norwegian provider of electric funk, Per Martinsen (also of Mental Overdrive), was one half. This saw the beginning of a collaboration between Aggie and Per, and in 2001 they released the album “Melodica” together. Since then the pair have collaborated as Frost.

“Melodica” consisted of glitchy electropop and downtempo airy songs, and received great reviews worldwide. The song “Amygdala” was released on a double vinyl 12” single with a variation of remixes, and the 7” vinyl single “Pharmacy”/”Half-whole” is still a sought-after gem.

Their second album, "Love! Revolution" was leaning more towards upbeat “space-pop” with catchy songs wrapped in hard-hitting yet dubby production. A third album is being recorded in 2009.

2. Frost was a black metal band, hailing from Birmingham, UK, and featuring Mick Kenney from Anaal Nathrakh, Mistress and Professor Fate . They released two albums, Cursed Again and Talking to God. Both albums got re-released in 2007 by Feto Records as a double album. After an extended period on hold Frost was finally dissolved in 2008.

4. Ben Frost is an Australian/Icelandic producer and musician whose solo work and work under 'School Of Emotional Engineering' is characteristed by a persistant exploration of technology and sound, often expounding on darker, more symphonic textures; those concerning loss, alienation, and sound scapes. His work with experimental artists such as Björk, Scanner, Lawrence English and Ai Yamamoto goes hand in hand with his just as challenging but slightly more accessible work under the moniker 'School Of Emotional Engineering'.

More recently, following the release of the debut S.O.E.E album in 2004, Frost relocated from Melbourne Australia to Reykjavik Iceland to further pursue his muse. Working primarily within the walls of Greenhouse Studios under the wing of seminal producer/composer Valgeir Sigurðsson.

His later work is more orchestral in nature, though intention more focused and has gradually moved into areas outside of straight 'music'- often producing works for installation, dance, film and theatre. Frost's most recent release- the 2006 instrumental album 'Theory Of Machines', on Icelandic label 'Bedroom Community' perhaps best encapsulates the majesty, fury and beauty he is capable of unleashing, often within the same song.

5. Frost is also the name of the drummer in the norwegian black metal bands Satyricon and 1349 (real name - Kjetil Haraldstad)
