Diverse and dramatic art metal from Finland
With an unexpected range of influences from Pink Floyd and Alice in Chains to Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode and far beyond, Helsinki-based Frozen Factory have created a truly personal metal sound that’s attractive to fans of heavy and prog rock from every decade. In 2026, the band won ‘Best International Band’ in the UK’s coveted Radio Wigwam Awards for independent music.
Full of detailed arrangements, storytelling, running themes and surprising twists, the band has built a strong catalogue of album-orientated melodic metal – and a fresh sound that’s rewarding to explore.
Blending heavy and light guitars, atmospheric keyboards and thoughtful lyrics, Frozen Factory’s metal, prog and alt-rock fusion delivers immersive, thought-provoking soundscapes and themes.
Leading the way on vocals, British-born singer Stephen Baker is dynamic and melodic, with a clean belting style that’s both technically and stylistically sophisticated – over a wide range.
Bringing a very special touch on lead guitar is Zsolt Szilagyi, known from Dreamtale and After Infinity. His embellishments within songs and his emotive solos add another level of depth to the music.
On the stage, Frozen Factory perform with energy and emotion, hitting a sweet spot between prog rock elegance and the rawness found in grunge and heavy metal. The band has performed in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and India.
Creatively led by songwriters, Stephen and bassist-keyboardist-producer Tomi Hassinen, Frozen Factory has been highly active in the studio, with major releases in 2020 (Planted Feet), 2021 (The First Liquidation EP), 2022 (Of Pearls & Perils) and 2026 (Apocalypse Inc.). The band released three standalone singles in 2023 – and several singles from Apocalypse Inc. in 2024 and 2025.
