Only Heavy Metal

WELCOME TO OUR NEW GUITARIST ALESSIA!
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!

Embrace the power & feel the passion with striking new album War Hearts!
FROZEN CROWN comments the new single “Steel And Gold“:
“We're extremely excited to have the ‘Steel And Gold’ official video finally released via Napalm Records. This is the fulfillment of years of hard work, as well as a fresh start! This video doesn't deviate from the usual FROZEN CROWN style, it just consolidates it. Very often, our videos have been labeled as 'just a bunch of people having the time of their lives playing metal in some beautiful scenery... plus a lot of hair'. We must say, we totally agree!
This time, though, the beautiful scenery is the gorgeous "Castello dei Doria", in Dolceacqua, Liguria, in northwestern Italy, and the 'bunch of people’ is just one more person on guitar, adding firepower (and hair) to the ensemble. ‘Steel and Gold” is a song about loyalty, integrity and self improvement. It’s about remaining true to your ideals and about the search for unattainable perfection.”

It's with heavy heart that I announce my departure from my band mates in Frozen Crown. The split was totally amicable and peacefully agreed by both parts: I am leaving the band due to the increasing duties that didn't allow me to focus on my personal projects and life, and to dedicate myself to different musical styles. I wish my bandmates all the best for their new adventures and thank them for all the lovely memories we built together (with the last being our most recent European tour). Thanks to all of you, lovely fans, for your continuous support, and see you soon, maybe on the road!
Sheena
After years of live shows, fun, travels, hard work and 3 albums together, Fabiola decided to take a different road to pursue her artistic needs focusing on genres and styles closer to her musical taste. We leave her go grateful for the time spent together, and for the joint efforts that made the band what it is today. We are sure both parts (her as a guitar player and Frozen Crown as a band) will now have the chance to grow up in the best way possible. This is not a farewell, but a goodbye, as we hope we'll meet her again someday in the backstage of some festival and share some laughs and good memories.
Jade, Alessia, Ikki, Niso and Federico
The band will of course meet all the scheduled live shows and the replacement will be announced shortly.

One does not simply walk into Frozen Crown as a session member: he/she becomes part of the family! We welcome Alexandra Lioness as a PERMANENT MEMBER of the band!
We've been in touch with her since 2020, after our first line-up split, however, due to Covid and the distance, it was impossible for us to work together… until now!
Alexandra will bring her feral hard'n'heavy vibes, her amazing stage presence, and her insane guitar technique to Frozen Crown, starting with our Summer shows (first one in just a couple of weeks at Metal Fest Plzen CZ) and later working with us on our future albums. Hope you'll like this addition to the band!
Of course, thanks to her talent, work ethic, and professionalism, she was able to learn (and flawlessly perform) the entire setlist in our last show in Milan, despite very short notice!
And right there - in the same venue where we played our very first show back in 2018 - we celebrated this new beginning.
If you don't know Aleksandra Stamenkovic (her actual name) she's the leader, songwriter, vocalist, lead guitarist and mastermind of the Serbian band Jenner. Being such a well-rounded artist, as well as a videomaker, producer and manager, she won’t limit herself to guitar duties: she has already started to take care of multiple aspects of the band beyond music, flanking Federico in his ever more demanding Sith Lord role.
Some may question our decision to include in the band someone who was born so far away from us, in a non-EU country, even! Truth is, you don’t choose your family - you build your own. Aleksandra appeared in a pretty challenging situation, and helped us go through both the shocking realization of Jade’s health conditions and the sudden line-up shake, motivating us and gracing us with her enthusiasm. Her incredible dedication, humility, and constant positivity proved we have just found the perfect fit, and after working together for a while, it just “feels right” to start this new chapter with her, and to entrust her with the Crown and the Sword.
This post is nothing but a love letter to our newfound companion, and we hope you'll love her as much as we already do. Welcome Lioness!
