Frozen Rain is the project of Kurt Vereecke who wanted to make a Melodic Rock album worthy of his contemporary's and inspirations. So if you're going to do a great Melodic Rock album then why not enlist some of the biggest names in the field, so take a bow Tommy Denander, Daniel Flores, Steve Newman, Jim Santos and Ollie Oldenburg.

So what about the album, does it live up the reputations of the players involved? OH YES, this is pure-bred Melodic Rock. Great melodies, harmony after great harmony and superb vocals, all the right ingredients for a classic. With such superb offerings as 'Wire of love' and 'Red light zone' on which Johan Waem excels vocally, there are also other tracks of note such as 'Music keeps me alive' with Maurice Saelmans taking up the mike for this one. But there is so much more to this album than the above songs. Take my word for it, there are twelve tracks that will satisfy even the hardest critics in the scene, so if you like some great melodic rock then reach out and touch the Frozen Rain.
