Frozen Rain is the brainchild of Kurt Vereecke, a Belgian songwriter. By teaming up with musical legends and creating heartfelt and authentic tunes, the band managed to leave its mark in the AOR world.
Frozen Rain’s first album dropped in 2008 and allowed the band to join forces with some of their absolute personal idols, like Tommy Denander (Radioactive), Steve Newman (Newman), and Daniel Flores (Find Me).
In 2012, Frozen Rain came back with a second album: ‘Ahead of Time’. By then, the band had transformed itself into an international band. This time, they teamed up with Carsten Lizard Schultz, a vocal virtuoso who is celebrated for his contributions to Domain and many other renowned bands. The album contained some exclusive bonus tracks for the Japanese fans and further solidified Frozen Rain’s global presence and popularity.
Fast forward to their third album, ‘One Mile From Heartsville’, released by Lions Pride Music. This album, rooted in the purest AOR tradition, weaves together rich melodies and catchy sing-along choruses. The band joined forces with guitarist Jens Ambrosch and Lars Edvall, who is not only a remarkable vocalist but also a gifted songwriter, going by the name of ‘Beatlife’. Frozen Rain even got the privilege of collaborating with drummer Roy Nichol of April Wine, a Canadian rock band renowned for chart-topping hits like ‘Just Between You And Me’, ‘I Like To Rock’ and ‘Roller’. Roy Nichol added a dynamic layer to the album and gave a unique twist to Frozen Rain’s sound. The list of guest luminaries continues with Fran Alonso (guitarist of the Spanish AOR band Hackers) and Roger Ljunggren (guitarist of T’Bell and Niva), enhancing the album’s multifaceted sonic landscape.
At this moment Kurt is writing songs for album nr. 4.
Frozen Rain’s journey is a mix of creativity and endless love for melodious rock. As the band navigates the ever-evolving contours of rock music, they remain steadfast in their commitment to pushing boundaries and creating music that stands the test of time. With ‘One Mile From Heartsville,’ Frozen Rain continues to redefine the rock narrative, crafting a melodious masterpiece that reflects their journey up to now while forging the exciting road ahead.
