Milan, Italy-based melodic power metal band Frozen Crown issued third full-length studio album Winterbane<\/em> on April 23rd, 2021 (excluding Japan) through Scarlet Records. Japanese release was handled by Marquee Inc. \/ Avalon.<\/p>\n

The band commented: \u201cWinterbane<\/em> 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\u2019s vocals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe heaviest of our albums, with strong classic metal vibes adding to the usual power \/ melodeath combination, Winterbane<\/em> represents a proper group effort thanks to the flawless new three members intake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Volturian singer Federica Lanna contributed guest vocals on the track \u2018Angels In Disguise\u2019.<\/p>\n

Winterbane<\/em> was produced by Andrea Fusini at Fusix Studio in Turin, Italy. Cover artwork was once again created by Frozen Crown mastermind and songwriter Federico Mondelli.<\/p>\n
