Rising Italian power metal outfit FROZEN CROWN has unveiled the guitar-driven title track "War Hearts" alongside a powerful official music video. Taken from their new studio album and Napalm Records debut, War Hearts, out on October 18, 2024, the uplifting track combines the strong message of fighting for your dreams with incredible vocal expertise and ultimate high-speed riffs. Determined to make it through the rough storm as war angels, relentless drums merged with a thrilling guitar solo by newest member Alessia Lanzone reflect the confident atmosphere.

With their youthful, raw, and passionate approach to metal, FROZEN CROWN has garnered significant media exposure with their previous four albums and their massive hit, "Neverending", which has gathered over 11 million views on YouTube to date. The band has further cemented its reputation with its dynamic live performance with legendary acts like U.D.O. in 2023.

FROZEN CROWN on the new single "War Hearts":

"We're overly excited and proud to introduce our new album's title track "War Hearts" and to unveil its official video clip! "War Hearts" was the first song we wrote for the new album and it's meant to be a statement about how fast and uncompromising the rest of the album is going to be. It's also the first song to mark the appearance of our young new guitar player Alessia and her blazing solos.

The video is once again settled in Italy, between the windy ruins of the Avigliana Castle, and once again portrays the band in the rawest manner possible, without any kind of post-production or artifice involved."

Embrace the majesty & feel the passion with striking power metal epos War Hearts

Founded in 2017, the relentless band has performed at several festivals like Sabaton Open Air, Metal Fest Plzen, and Rock Imperium Festival, headlined two Japanese tours, and followed extensive European touring with significant bands such as DragonForce and Nanowar Of Steel - topped by an upcoming tour with KAMELOT this fall! Joined by their newest member, 18-year-old guitar prodigy Alessia Lanzone, the band's characteristic sound has been expanded by her skills, adding depth and complexity to their performances.

Featuring all members on the recording for the first time, War Hearts symbolizes a fresh start and pays homage to the legendary CHILDREN OF BODOM with its album title, a band that inspired FROZEN CROWN's youthful, raw and passionate approach to metal. Addressing themes of self-improvement, awareness, personal growth and inner struggles, the fast-paced track "Steel And Gold" creates an uplifting atmosphere with energetic harmonies while "I Am The Wind" features soaring choruses with dual vocals from frontwoman Jade and guitarist Federico, ingenious guitar riffs, and perfectly blended drums, while the lyrics inspire listeners to let go like the wind and rise to shine again. To wrap up the album tracks like "Edge of Reality", inspired by the '86 Highlander movie, and "Bloodlines", referencing the Vampire: The Masquerade series of board and video games, showcase the band's colorful storytelling.

FROZEN CROWN constantly defines and refines its sound, pushing its trademark elements to new levels of complexity without forgetting the characteristic catchy hooks. War Hearts exceeds their previous successes and solidifies their place in the global metal scene!

FROZEN CROWN on their new album:

"War Hearts is our fifth album, but it's also the first one as a 6-piece band and the first one on Napalm Records. It's also the first album where all members actually make their appearance on the recording. For these reasons, War Hearts represents a new beginning, a fresh start, and it may be considered the first episode of FROZEN CROWN "reboot". We wrote and arranged this album acting like we had no history at all, never afraid to repeat some of our trademark stylistic features. On the contrary, we highlighted and gave more value to them, to make our new songs sound 100% like us. We worked hard on the material to cut away all the useless parts and make the songs as catchy and straightforward they could be, and to make them sound like quintessential FROZEN CROWN."
