From Lions Pride Music:

We are very proud to announce the signing of #Belgium 's best A.O.R. bands Frozen Rain and the release of their upcoming third opus "One Mile From Heartsville" to be released worldwide on CD & Digitally on 30 October 2023!

Frozen Rain started as a project of the Belgian songwriter Kurt Vereecke. On the first album Kurt had the chance to work with some of his personal idols like Tommy Denander (Radioactive), Steve Newman (Newman) and Daniel Flores (The Murder Of My Sweet). The album was released in 2008 and was well received all over the world.

In 2012 the second album ‘Ahead of time’ was released. In the meantime Frozen Rain had become a real ‘international’ band. Vocalist on the second album was Carsten Lizard Schultz who’s well known for his work with Domain and many other bands. The album was released with some bonus tracks in Japan.

And now there is finally the third album ‘One Mile From Heartsville’ filled with beautiful, catchy melodies and sing-along choruses in the purest AOR tradition. This album showcases the talents of new guitar player Jens Ambrosch and vocalist Lars Edvall. In addition to being a singer, Lars is also a talented songwriter. Under the name "Beatlife" he has delivered songs and productions to Swedish artists as well as to artists all over the world.

 

This time the band had the chance to work with Roy Nichol, drummer of April Wine, a Canadian band you may know from several hits like ‘Just Between You And Me’, ‘I like To Rock’ or ‘Roller’ for example. Among the other guests on the album there are Fran Alonso, guitarist of the Spanish AOR band Hackers and guitar player Roger Ljunggren (T’Bell, Niva).

I'm excited for this one. I had been wondering what had become of the project because the first two albums were really solid.

Probably my favourite song from the album. It's okay in places, but not really my thing. Way too safe and by the numbers for me, personally.

Lions Pride seem like a decent label releasing good stuff.
