Album: The First Liquidation EP
Artist's Biography
We
started spontaneously in December 2018 as four men joining a sound engineer
in Lahti, Finland to enjoy a free studio day. There was no real plan and no
expectations, only the rumours of good music penned by our own Tomi
Hassinen, a composer and multi instrumentalist with a bass guitar.
We had enlisted Tomi’s old pal Asa Nyman and online contact Ozzy Slant to
lay down guitars and vocals. Ultimately the results formed into a 3 track
single entitled ‘Frozen Factory’. Tomi and Eetu were energised and convinced
that the future was as a band. Asa and Ozzy however, were not available to
continue from this point. The release of singles ‘Ruthless’ and ‘Stay
Forever’ on YouTube in March 2019 coincided with our online search for a
singer which was almost immediately answered by British singer Stephen Baker
who said he’s inspired by what he’s hearing.
We soon knew that Stephen and Tomi were destined to team up. In the
following days, waves of productivity flowed between us and new demos with a
deeper sense of meaning began to take shape. Together we forged plans to
make Frozen Factory’s debut album themed around humanity’s struggles to live
peacefully and sustainably. After we started recording drums in the late
spring we added Mici, a slick guitarist and a long time friend of Tomi’s on
lead guitar.
We spent the rest of 2019 recording our debut album whilst filming music
videos when possible. We performed live for the first time together at
Vernissa in Vantaa, Finland. That gig was filmed in full and is available to
watch here. After two singles our debut album ‘Planted Feet’ was released on
June 12th 2020.
During summer 2020 we agreed mutually with Eetu to part ways. We soon found
Marianne Heikkinen’s drumming videos online and it was immediately clear
that we needed to team up. Marianne was officially announced into the band
in July after which we played several live dates and recorded tracks for new
one-off singles that are to be followed by singles from album two and its
subsequent full release during 2021.

the song: I remember it too
Frozen
Factory starts from a moment of spontaneity in December 2018 as four men and
a sound engineer (yes ok he’s a man too) convened in central Finland to
celebrate the splendour of a free weekend in a studio. There was no real
plan and no expectations laid out on the table, only the rumours of good
music penned by Tomi Hassinen, a composer, bass hero and
multiinstrumentalist.
Tomi and drummer Eetu Pesu, already bandmates in another project, had
enlisted the help of Tomi’s old pal Asa Nyman and online treasure Ozzy Slant
to respectively lay down guitars and vocals. With engineer Oskari Viljanen
ready to capture the action the guys set about tracking as much as possible
and shooting three music videos over the two days with videographer Läpä
Koivusalo.
Days past after returning to their homes in the south of Finland and the
four
weren’t completely sure what they’d created in that enclosure several hours
drive up north.
Ultimately however, as the results formed into a 3 track single entitled
‘Frozen Factory’, the heart of the project in Tomi and Eetu was energised
and they were convinced that their future was as a band. Asa and Ozzy had
not been available to continue from this point, so whilst the record was
readied for release in March 2019 the two founding members of Frozen Factory
searched for their new bandmates. The release of singles ‘Ruthless’ and
‘Stay Forever’ on YouTube coincided with an online search for a singer which
was almost immediately answered by British singer Steve Baker who heard the
tracks and felt inspired.
After a brief meeting at Steve’s Helsinki home in early April 2019, he and
Tomi realised quickly that they were destined to team up. In the following
hours and days, waves of productivity flowed between the two and the first
demos of new material began to take shape. As a new sound formed, the trio
of Tomi, Eetu and Steve forged plans to make Frozen Factory’s debut album
and started recording drums in the late spring. Guitarist Mici, a long time
friend of Tomi and motivating character, was added to the picture during the
summer. From this point on our fresh and solid four piece has been polishing
the songs, recording the parts and shooting music videos with an eye on an
early 2020 release for the album. There’s an air of confidence that this
topically themed set of tracks will evoke a strong reaction in listeners
with their diverse moods and strength of words. Frozen Factory is poised to
make a meaningful statement with a memorable and repeatable musical
experience.
2020 will also see the band bringing new material to the stage. To be
continued….
