The power metal scene needs an enema – and this album is it! Five years since the band’s latest, self-titled offering, Finnish power metal masters Frozen Land return with a brand new studio album, entitled “Out of the Dark”! The album will be released on June 16th, 2023, via Massacre Records.
“Out of the Dark” is old-school power metal – period. It is a wet dream for everybody who started listening to power metal in the 90’s. No fillers, no non-catchy choruses, no uninteresting guitar solos guaranteed. Give ear, as today, Frozen Land have shared a lyric video for their first single, the album opening track “King’s a Bitch”!
“This track is celebrating the glory of the late 80’s Helloween”, the band comments. “Lyrically it was inspired by Mr. Putin and all other tyrants in the world. Tongue in cheek, the track goes on to tell that these dictators only have egoistical aspirations in the end”.
Watch the new Frozen Land lyric video for “King’s a Bitch”, now streaming below.
“Out of the Dark” is basically a 7-song cohesive ensemble in the traditional power metal genre. But on the last 2 tracks it gets even more exciting! It’s not a secret, Tuomas has a perversion for 90’s Eurodance, and on the last album the band already covered E-types “Angels Crying”. Now, the band even created their own songs mixing Eurodance and metal. But, don’t take it too seriously… Frozen Land certainly doesn’t!
“Out of the Dark” was mixed by Nino Laurenne and Juho Mäntynen at Sonic Pump Studios, and was mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers Studios. Slated for a release on June 16th, 2023, you can now pre-order your album copy via Massacre Records here.
