Frozen Crown

Frozen Crown is a prominent fixture in the modern wave of Italian power metal, formed in Milan in 2017 by multi-instrumentalist Federico Mondelli. The band's identity is anchored by the dual presence of Mondelli's songwriting and Giada Etro's versatile vocal range.

Their career arc is marked by rapid prolificacy, releasing five albums in seven years, and a significant lineup evolution in 2021 that transitioned them from a studio-centric project to a formidable six-piece live entity. Musically, they bridge the gap between the neoclassical elegance of early Rhapsody and the aggressive, modern edge of bands like DragonForce or Battle Beast. They are noted for their 'winter' aesthetic, which informs both their lyrical themes of northern mythology and their 'shimmering' production style. Their signing to Napalm Records in 2024 signals their ascent into the top tier of the international power metal market, supported by a strong visual identity and high-engagement music videos.
