Melbourne (Australia) based gothic metal powerhouse Victoria K have recorded and are now unveiling their own heavy rendition of Madonna's iconic 1998 ballad, "Frozen". Victoria K brings their dark and tenebrous stylings to the classic with heavy riffs and the judicious incorporation of harsh vocals, while at the same time paying tribute to the soulful and introspective nature of the song with more dulcet moments led by frontwoman Victoria Knight's hypnotic voice.
Vocalist Victoria Knight comments: "'Frozen' is one of my favourite Madonna tracks, I'm so excited to be breathing new life into the song. We're hoping that with this cover, we can bring a new and fresh sound to Victoria K. Fans can indeed look forward to a bigger Victoria K sound than ever, as 'Frozen' is mixed and mastered by the deft hand of Lance Prenc, whose work includes some of Australia's biggest heavy acts such as Alpha Wolf, Thornhill and Void Of Vision."
In addition to Knight’s majestic lead vocals, Victoria K’s current touring line-up includes Charlie Curnow tearing up the stage on harsh vocals, Adyn Young leading the melodic charge on guitar, Ethan Colussi holding down the bottom end on bass, and the indomitable percussive machine of James Davies on drums.
