Frozen Crown – War Hearts
I have seen this band live several times as support so far and what I talk about today makes me hungry for a headliner tour. Italian Power/Symphonic-Metalists Frozen Crown release their fifth album, the first one under the label of Napalm Records and with six members. After the fulminant “Call Of The North” it is now time for the “War Hearts”. I also interviewed guitarist and co-founder Federico Mondella a few days before the tour started and their album release, so pay attention to this interesting and detailed interview. Otherwise, here we go.
Chatting with Federico of Frozen Crown
It is a few days before the tour start together with Ad Infinitum and Blackbriar in support of Kamelot. During the first days of the tour, Frozen Crown’s new album “War Hearts” will be released. I meet Federico Mondelli, guitarist and founder of Frozen Crown for an interview. We have already scheduled it for double the time than usual and I have quite a list of topics… We are both no native English speakers, and the questions were not scripted but as spontaneous as possible,
On the Edge with Margarita
Margarita Monet, the vocalist of Edge Of Paradise and I had spent several hours together already. We’ve been talking about this and that, flight, gear, problems, tour, etc. since I met the band two hours prior doors opened. We almost forgot that we had scheduled an interview. Thus, most of the questions had already been answered by Margarita but not been recorded. We finally sit down backstage around midnight when the venue is emptying, and everybody can become a bit more relaxed.
-[Maiden Mania]- the furnace of Willanzheim
The Maiden Mania Part II - the most unlikely venue still may host the most impressive show. A unique experience with
Blaze Bayley, Absolva, Sirens, Sacred Steel and Bobby Sixkiller in furnace of Willanzheim (Franconian countryside)
Live on the Edge Of Paradise
I have experienced impressive, sensational Edge Of Paradise. Now I know a little bit, how a stand-in musician must feel when she or he has to learn all the songs of the set list in only a few days. I got to know all their songs in just three days listening to them in rotation again and again without getting bored a single second.

Party.San 2024 – Hell Is Here
August is one of those busy months in the year with one festival after the other, often on the same date. Our bunch of friends still didn’t find out how to clone ourselves, so we decided for Party.San Metal Open Air. We didn’t regret it although not all the bands were up to all our tastes and I myself must confess; I even didn’t know some of the names…
