Kamelot Claims London With An All Star Lineup
Those of you who have been keeping up with our reviews section will know that it's been a great year for power metal. We've seen legendary names like Firewind and Rhapsody Of Fire release excellent albums, while rising stars like Dragony and Wind Rose have also had strong showings. It's wonderful to see the genre do so well and what better way to celebrate than by attending the first of several incredible lineups to reach the UK in November, as one of America's premier power metal bands Kamelot visited with Ad Infinitum, Blackbriar and Frozen Crown in tow. Taking place at the Kentish Town Forum, a beautiful venue that's hosted several metal stars in the past, the setting was perfect for four bands all looking to dominate.
Shortly after the doors opened and fans rushed to the front of the stage, Italian sextet Frozen Crown made their grand entrance. For those unfamiliar, Frozen Crown has only been around for seven years but from day one, they've worked their asses off to establish themselves as a name on everyone's lips. It was a good time to see them, as only a few weeks ago, they unleashed their fifth full length album, "War Hearts," so one would be curious to find out which songs would be performed live.
As it turns out, only "Steel And Gold" would be chosen to represent the record, but given the time constraints and it being their London debut, it was fair for them to showcase tracks from each album so as not to disappoint fans in the British capital. They performed with tremendous energy from start to finish and clearly had a blast doing it, which is always infectious to the audience, who couldn't get enough of the metal frenzy before them. It's a shame that the set was over almost as quick as it began, but based on the reception they were treated to, they'll be back in Britain soon. More...

Frozen Crown Introduces New Guitarist
Italian power metal outfit Frozen Crown has announced that they have recruited a new guitarist by the name of Alessia Lanzone. Rather than replacing anyone, Lanzone's addition will make the band a six piece. A statement from the band reads as follows:
"Dear friends, yes, you're seeing right: there's a sixth member in our band (and this is not temporary)! Her name is Alessia Lanzone and she's going to share lead and rhythm guitar duties with Sheena and Federico both live and in the studio! Just like Niso when he joined the band, she's just 17 years old, but during the last months spent secretly together she already gave us proof of her huge talent, as well as being an awesome person, and we can't wait to finally introduce her to you live! She'll make her live debut with us at our next show September 16 in Tuttlingen (DE), where we'll bring her on stage with us for the first time for an exclusive and unique event! Don't miss it!
"As you know, we progressively increased the amount of guitar tracks in our albums, and nowadays our songs are a feast of harmonized riffs and leads, counting dozens of guitar layers, at least in the studio. During our stage performances we've been missing for long the huge impact a rhythm guitar player can add during twin leads, and lead guitar wise, Sheena and Federico had to re-arrange many songs, sacrificing many parts for the sake of them sounding right in a live environment and not too empty. YES, some may say: why don't you simply add guitar layers in your backing tracks like most bands do nowadays? The answer is we never included guitars in our backing tracks, and we never will. That just feels so wrong. Yes, this may go in sharp contrast with the latest tendencies of having layers and layers of instruments (and even vocals) included in the backing tracks: many bands do that and it's definitely more practical (as well as it's making things easier, let alone having less people in the line-up means less travel costs). But that's not our cup of tea, we just want to sound as live as possible (and if you ever attended one of our live shows lately you'd already know we just have a few keyboard as sequences, mostly just in some crucial parts, and that we always sounded as raw as possible). We always did what we felt doing, and never followed any trend since day 0. So here we are: Frozen Crown is officially becoming a band with three guitar players!
"So let's welcome Alessia: thanks to her our live songs are going to sound truer to their original sound and our shows are going to turn into an even crazier guitar action feast!"
Frozen Crown Signs With Napalm Records
Italian power metal band Frozen Crown have inked a worldwide contract with Napalm Records! The five-piece was founded in 2018, and have since become one of the most influential Italian metal bands in the current scene. So far, Frozen Crown have released four albums - "The Fallen King" (2018), "Crowned In Frost" (2019), "Winterbane" (2021) and this year’s "Call Of The North" - which have brought the band huge media exposure, millions of streams and video views, and big European tours with the likes of Dragonforce and Nanowar Of Steel, as well as two headlining tours in Japan.
Their current album "Call Of The North" is Frozen Crown’s most mature work so far, showcasing the best of the band’s unique power metal style infused with classic heavy metal, melodic death metal and speed metal influences, all topped with bombastic production highlighting opulent orchestrations and harmonies.
Frozen Crown on the signing:
"We're happy and honored to join the Napalm Records family and we're ready for our next big step together! Since we founded this band in 2018 we worked hard incessantly, day after day, not only trying to put our best in our studio albums and live, but also managing the band all by ourselves, conquering every single little accomplishment with our DIY attitude, always keeping loyal to our (extremely) small entourage. Thanks to the support of our lovely fans, Frozen Crown eventually grew bigger, and got to a point where we were not able to handle it all by ourselves anymore. At the same time, we knew we needed more firepower to push the band further and bring it to the next level. And speaking of firepower, Napalm Records was just the best record label to start this new chapter with!!! We're excited beyond words to be part of the best metal label in the world, and we can't wait to start working together on our new album, joining forces with this huge team of professionals!"
Sebastian Muench, Senior A&R Napalm Records, adds:
"Frozen Crown are simply one of the most creative power metal bands to emerge in the last five years. Their previous releases, Winterbane and Call Of The North, are brilliant. We look forward to working with Frozen Crown to reach the next level in their career.”

"Be ready for memorable refrains, heavy downtuned guitar riffs, intricate symphonic parts, and a tense and epic battlefield atmosphere.
"Once again produced by Andrea Fusini at Fusix Studio, "Call of the North" will be out on Scarlet Records (EU/US) and Marquee Avalon (Japan) and released in digipak CD and in limited edition turquoise and purple vinyl (and, of course, in digital version on all streaming platforms.)" More...

Frozen Crown Reveals New Album Details
Italian heavy metal outfit Frozen Crown has posted a new statement online, detailing their upcoming new album, "Winterbane," which is set to be released through Scarlet Records on April 23rd. The post reads as follows:
"'Winterbane' is the third Frozen Crown album, and by far the most obscure of our works.
"The third chapter consolidates the classic Frozen Crown trademark sound and brings it to the next level, giving priority to a straightforward and in-your-face approach based on powerful and dynamic drums and thundering bass lines. Guitar work plays a key role again, this time richer and more intricate than ever, drawing catchy melodies along lead singer Giada Etro's vocals.
"The heaviest of our albums, with strong classic metal vibes adding to the usual power / melodeath combination, Winterbane represents a proper group effort thanks to the flawless new three (yet to be revealed) members intake. More...
Frozen Crown Splits With Three Members
Italian metallers Frozen Crown have checked in with the following update:
"Dear friends, as you already know 2020 has been a hard year for musicians and each of us had to take some time to sit down, deal with reality and review his / her own priorities in life. It’s not easy to be part of a band, let alone doing it during a period that doesn’t allow you to live that experience to the fullest and to travel the world playing around, or even to share some time with your bandmates to start with. This is why, in different times during last year, Alberto, Thalía and Filippo decided to leave the band to focus on their personal projects: we wish them all the best for their new ventures and for their lives. We would also like to thank them for the awesome moments spent touring around, and to celebrate our three years together with this last video from 'Crowned In Frost,' portraying the 'classic' Frozen Crown line-up.
As you already know, our third album has just been completed (as the songwriting line-up remains unchanged anyway) and will be announced in the next days, as well as the new members of the band. Be sure to check this page for many updates to come!" More...
