Frozen Factory - Alt Rock For Deep Thinkers.

Introducing Our New Drummer Marianne

Quietly we’ve been looking for the right drummer to join our future adventures, to raise the bar with us and to go the distance together with us. We put our heads down and looked carefully and now the time has come to celebrate a new member of Frozen Factory!

We’d like to welcome onboard our amazing new drummer Marianne Heikkinen. Marianne came to our attention when we found an online video of her playing some Muse with a hugely fierce energy and precision. We knew immediately that we’d found someone with the qualities that are ideal for Frozen Factory. Everything seemed to fall into place naturally as the first conversations with Marianne were fun and productive. We were soon planning rehearsals together and talking about longer term musical goals. Marianne is already involved in the pre-production of our second album, more details of which will come in due course.

Marianne tells some of her thoughts about joining Frozen Factory

“We’ve been rehearsing two times now and it’s been amazing. The energy of this band is on a very high level now, and I can’t wait to hit the stage and studio with my brothers in the close future so you’ll see what I’m talking about⚡

I have a very good feeling about this and I’m very honoured to be a part of this band now.

We have lots of great things coming in the near future so I suggest that you keep your eyes on us!
In the meantime, I also recommend you to listen to the debut album ‘Planted feet’ on Spotify and on other streaming services🔥”

A word about Eetu, the fantastic drummer on our self titled 3 track debut record and debut album ‘Planted Feet’. To make a long story short, our great friend and inspiring musician Eetu Pesu is no longer able to continue with Frozen Factory and instead he becomes an awesome part of our history and a permanent member of our band family. Thank you so much for everything dude!

We’ve been enjoying this post-release period after ‘Planted Feet’ so much that we didn’t want to officially change the vibe by making all of this public until the last moment. Eetu recently released a video of him recording drums for Frozen Factory’s track ‘The Truth Is So Dead’ which you will find at the bottom of this post. Make sure to follow Eetu’s socials to keep up with his latest projects including a return to the Delta Enigma band.

New Music Video For ‘Fantastically Incorporated’

Our singer Stephen talks about the song and the video…

“This is a mysterious musical story with no ending. You will decide whether the character in the lyrics is in trouble or safe. Many people that have heard the track have commented to me that it has an unusual vibe and it has a strong impact on the imagination. When I first got the demo track from Tomi I felt exactly the same sensation and I knew this song needed lyrics about our complex human minds. We’re spending ever more time with our screens and it’s hard to know what the long term impacts of that will be on us, we can only wonder for now.

We had a blast making the video, as usual with our brilliant videographer Lauri ‘Läpä’ Koivusalo, a brief plan and just a few quick hours. We nearly didn’t make it away from the apartment building when one of the cars tumbled backwards down a small hill (unfortunately not caught on camera) but it didn’t stop us. We went on to find out we’d randomly picked the night of a beautiful lunar eclipse to shoot the video with a couple of new friends who just happened to be by the sea making a fire. They welcomed us to join them and we thank them for being a part of our story and proving that real life is wonderful.

Tomi came up with the idea for the video after hearing my vocals for the song. I’m playing a guy who’s forgotten that his friends are coming to pick him up to hang out by the sea. I’m so engaged in my digital entertainment that it’s hard for my friends to get my attention. Will I manage to join them in reality for a whole evening? Watch the video and find out.“

Announcing ‘Planted feet’ our debut album out 12.06.2020

We’re extremely pleased to announce that on June the 12th we will be releasing ‘Planted Feet’.

This will be our debut album and it will span 12 tracks of rock music inspired by the likes of Alice in Chains, Iron Maiden, Roger Waters, Muse, Rage Against The Machine, Depeche Mode and many many more.

The album contains a series of moody and meaningful tracks that ponder the worrying state of the world today.

Stephen our singer explains part of his motivation to write for ‘Planted Feet’.

“I aim to add my views to a worldwide discussion, a discussion that I would like to see activated more and more in order to grow the strength of our communities to overcome challenges together. Even just understanding each other is a hugely strengthening process without having to agree. Perhaps somewhere in one of these lively discussions, started by us raising our voices, solutions will be found that will benefit everyone equally and all the effort would have been of great value. If we remain quiet, with our thoughts inside of our own head in order to protect our comfort zones and the lack of accountability of leaders, then I fear there is little hope for progress.”

New single ‘Hammer’ out now

We’re so pleased to present to you the second single from our upcoming debut album. The song is called ‘Hammer’ and it delivers a short and powerful burst of energy with a lyrical theme consistent with the rest of the upcoming album. The hammer represents the power that exists in each of us from birth, a power far greater than any other creature owns. We have the power to create or destroy at will and on a huge scale, even global. The song focuses on the choice we face about how to use our power, for the good of us all or for self interest.

Check it out on Spotify!

New Single Hammer, Out Friday 1.5.2020

On Friday 1.5. we’ll be releasing Hammer, the second single from our upcoming debut album Planted Feet. 🔨

Stephen our singer had this to say about Hammer. 📣

“After being hit by the heavy feel and driving simplicity of this track I imagined the human race being handed a powerful tool from birth, a tool to shape the world into anything imaginable. That tool had to be a hammer, a powerful force of creation or destruction depending on your intentions. As humans we’re uniquely faced with that choice of how we impact everything we touch, for better or for worse we make our decision when we strike our target”

Pre-save the track easily on Spotify via this link because then it’ll be in your library on release day!

Just a thought about what’s happening today

We acted quickly to make a small statement about what’s happening in the world right now. A couple of countries have been in the spotlight for choosing to allow corona virus to spread under the guise of building herd immunity in their populations. This action went against the global scientific consensus on managing pandemics and the results appear to be appalling. The idea for this song popped up from a few words jotted down and after a few messages exchanged between our band members the song was recorded separately from our own homes. This was in respect of the situation here in Finland and in accordance with the law regarding our drummer who lives in a different region. The song went from first lyrics to final master in around 48 hours.

Stephen our singer had this to add…

“It seems to me that not all leaders intend to lead you to safety. Some leaders are shifting you around like cash and they’ve no problem with you getting torn apart because there’s plenty of fresh cash in the stash. The people who work the hardest and who support our communities are not found in the offices of these poor leaders. Capitalism has taught us to idolise our abusers and to protect them instinctively whilst being suspicious of our familiars, of our neighbours, of our fellow citizens and human brothers and sisters. We’re accepting a system that takes too much from the many and hands it to the few and I think we can do a lot better. It is capitalism that drives bad leaders to send their own citizens into the face of a deadly disease in order to attempt an outcome that saves their own and their friends’ money.”
