Comment vous \u00eates-vous rencontr\u00e9s ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salut, je suis Isaac Solanas, guitariste, compositeur et chanteur de Frozen Shield ! Le groupe est un projet de Viking Metal symphonique n\u00e9 de la volont\u00e9 de m\u00e9langer diff\u00e9rents genres de metal avec des \u00e9l\u00e9ments orchestraux et des paroles inspir\u00e9es de la fantasy. J&rsquo;ai fond\u00e9 le groupe en 2010 en exp\u00e9rimentant quelques m\u00e9lodies et j&rsquo;ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de jouer avec des musiciens partageant ma vision musicale. J&rsquo;ai donc commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 chercher des membres en ligne et j&rsquo;ai trouv\u00e9 Marc Olesti en 2011, qui est depuis l&rsquo;autre guitariste et compositeur du groupe. Avec d&rsquo;autres excellents compagnons, nous avons enregistr\u00e9 notre EP \u00ab Deafening Woods \u00bb en 2014, qui a permis de faire conna\u00eetre le groupe au public et de jouer avec des artistes comme Suidakra ou Opera Magna. Apr\u00e8s quelques ann\u00e9es de concerts, nous nous sommes lanc\u00e9s dans l&rsquo;autoproduction de l&rsquo;album \u00ab&nbsp;\u00cdnia&nbsp;\u00bb. Ce projet a pris plus de temps que pr\u00e9vu, mais nous visions un son plus ample \u00e0 tous les niveaux et nous ne voulions faire aucun compromis. Finalement, l&rsquo;album est sorti en 2021 avec une nouvelle formation, ce qui nous a permis d&rsquo;interpr\u00e9ter toute sa complexit\u00e9 en live et de jouer en t\u00eate d&rsquo;affiche de festivals au Portugal, ainsi qu&rsquo;en Espagne, en Allemagne et maintenant en France. Apr\u00e8s un certain temps, certains membres ont quitt\u00e9 le groupe et nous avons actuellement Toni Durany (chant principal), que nous connaissions de son passage dans les groupes Karlahan et The Zen, et Kacper Fornalcyzk (batterie), pr\u00eats \u00e0 enflammer la sc\u00e8ne !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2) Comment d\u00e9finiriez-vous votre musique et quelles sont vos principales influences ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C&rsquo;est un m\u00e9lange de death metal m\u00e9lodique, d&rsquo;\u00e9l\u00e9ments symphoniques et d&rsquo;influences folk. Je dirais que c&rsquo;est une musique qui invite \u00e0 la r\u00eaverie, \u00e0 explorer un autre monde, et qui encourage un voyage \u00e9motionnel \u00e0 travers des passages agressifs, des chants hymniques, des danses festives et des moments m\u00e9lancoliques. La sc\u00e8ne metal finlandaise influence fortement notre musique, notamment gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 son caract\u00e8re m\u00e9lodique. Des groupes comme Wintersun, Ensiferum ou Turisas, par exemple, nous inspirent \u00e9galement. Mais des musiciens du monde entier, tels qu&rsquo;Epica, Fleshgod Apocalypse ou Equilibrium, ont aussi fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 notre mani\u00e8re de composer et d&rsquo;appr\u00e9cier la musique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3) Et vous, avez-vous un style de musique pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9&nbsp;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isaac&nbsp;: Je suis un grand fan de death metal symphonique, de musiques de films et de jeux vid\u00e9o, de musique celtique et \u00e9lectronique (c\u2019est d\u2019ailleurs pour \u00e7a qu\u2019on a repris le morceau techno espagnol \u00ab&nbsp;Flying Free&nbsp;\u00bb). Personnellement, j\u2019aime tout ce qui est \u00e9nergique et m\u00e9lodieux&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marc&nbsp;: J\u2019aime aussi le death metal symphonique, les musiques de films et la musique \u00e9lectronique, et j\u2019appr\u00e9cie \u00e9galement le post-rock, le black metal atmosph\u00e9rique et la musique classique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toni&nbsp;: Plus je vieillis, plus mes go\u00fbts musicaux se diversifient&nbsp;! N\u00e9anmoins, le metal reste mon genre pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9, et de loin. On peut pleurer avec du metal, on peut se d\u00e9fouler avec du metal, on peut danser avec du metal\u2026 Franchement, c\u2019est un style incroyablement polyvalent&nbsp;! Bref, Ed Sheeran est plut\u00f4t cool\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kacper&nbsp;: Personnellement, j\u2019essaie de ne pas me limiter \u00e0 un genre pr\u00e9cis et j\u2019\u00e9coute quotidiennement du m\u00e9tal, de la musique classique, de l\u2019\u00e9lectro et m\u00eame du hip-hop. Cependant, certains styles occupent une place particuli\u00e8re dans mon c\u0153ur&nbsp;: le death et le black metal, la musique de Chopin et la po\u00e9sie chant\u00e9e polonaise (un genre assez sp\u00e9cifique \u00e0 la Pologne).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4) Parmi les concerts que vous avez d\u00e9j\u00e0 donn\u00e9s, y en a-t-il un qui vous a particuli\u00e8rement marqu\u00e9 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nous avons accumul\u00e9 de merveilleux souvenirs \u00e0 de nombreuses reprises, mais je soulignerais les concerts que nous avons donn\u00e9s au Portugal. Le public y est incroyablement chaleureux et se donne \u00e0 fond pendant notre prestation. Je dois \u00e9galement mentionner le cadre exceptionnel dans lequel nous avons jou\u00e9 au Merseburger Rocknacht (Allemagne), la sc\u00e8ne \u00e9tant install\u00e9e dans les ruines d&rsquo;une \u00e9glise du XIe si\u00e8cle. Enfin, le concert de pr\u00e9sentation d&rsquo;\u00cdnia \u00e0 Barcelone occupe une place toute particuli\u00e8re dans nos c\u0153urs. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 l&rsquo;aboutissement d&rsquo;ann\u00e9es de travail acharn\u00e9 et une exp\u00e9rience riche en \u00e9motions, partag\u00e9e en direct avec nos amis et nos fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5) Vous participez au DARK MEDIEVAL FEST 2026 en mai prochain. Qu&rsquo;esp\u00e9rez-vous ou attendez-vous de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement&nbsp;? Qu&rsquo;est-ce qui vous ferait plaisir&nbsp;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nous sommes ravis de partager la sc\u00e8ne avec de nombreux autres groupes dont le style est proche du n\u00f4tre&nbsp;! Nous esp\u00e9rons voir tous les fans de musique pa\u00efenne et folk r\u00e9unis et pr\u00eats \u00e0 se donner \u00e0 fond au festival. Nous aimerions voir un peu d&rsquo;\u00e9nergie pendant notre concert et discuter avec les festivaliers qui souhaitent venir nous saluer apr\u00e8s le spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6) Est-ce la premi\u00e8re fois que vous jouez dans la r\u00e9gion lyonnaise&nbsp;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non seulement \u00e0 Lyon, mais en France en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. C\u2019est notre premi\u00e8re fois sur ces terres, et nous sommes impatients de d\u00e9couvrir la sc\u00e8ne metal fran\u00e7aise&nbsp;; et quoi de mieux qu\u2019un festival comme celui-ci pour cela&nbsp;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7) J&rsquo;ai entendu des commentaires positifs sur votre attitude pendant les concerts. Pouvez-vous annoncer une exclusivit\u00e9 pour le DMF 2026&nbsp;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Merci&nbsp;! Nous essayons toujours de rendre le spectacle dynamique et captivant, en interagissant avec le public et en nous d\u00e9pla\u00e7ant, tout en faisant de notre mieux pour ne pas rater une seule note malgr\u00e9 toute cette effervescence (rires). Nous n&rsquo;en avons pas encore parl\u00e9 ouvertement sur les r\u00e9seaux sociaux, mais il se pourrait que nous sortions de nouveaux morceaux d&rsquo;ici le festival. Ce serait g\u00e9nial de vous en jouer un nouveau&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8) La Covid a confin\u00e9 les gens chez eux et, par cons\u00e9quent, les concerts se sont arr\u00eat\u00e9s. Depuis la \u00ab reprise \u00bb des concerts, ressentez-vous un enthousiasme particulier de la part du public ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Je l&rsquo;ai remarqu\u00e9 les premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es apr\u00e8s le confinement, et je m&rsquo;y suis peut-\u00eatre habitu\u00e9. Mais c&rsquo;est formidable de voir une forte affluence aux concerts et festivals et de voir que la flamme du metal continue de br\u00fbler. Nous avons sorti notre dernier album apr\u00e8s la Covid, donc les gens avaient h\u00e2te d&rsquo;aller aux concerts, m\u00eame si le retour \u00e0 des conditions normales a \u00e9t\u00e9 long. Je suis ravi que nous puissions \u00e0 nouveau nous r\u00e9unir sans trop d&rsquo;inqui\u00e9tudes et simplement profiter de la musique comme avant !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9) Comment convaincre quelqu&rsquo;un de venir au festival et d&rsquo;assister \u00e0 votre performance, en 140 caract\u00e8res comme sur Twitter&nbsp;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rejoignez-nous au DMF 2026 pour une d\u00e9ferlante de riffs \u00e9piques et de chants puissants, au c\u0153ur d&rsquo;un festival m\u00e9di\u00e9val&nbsp;! Apportez vos \u00e9p\u00e9es et vos boucliers&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10) Quels sont vos projets \u00e0 venir&nbsp;? Pr\u00e9voyez-vous d\u2019autres \u00e9v\u00e9nements ou sorties d\u2019albums&nbsp;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nous travaillons sur de nouveaux morceaux qui exploreront de nouveaux horizons sonores et je pense que ce sera int\u00e9ressant. De plus, l\u2019arriv\u00e9e de Toni Durany au sein du groupe nous permet d\u2019exp\u00e9rimenter de nouvelles techniques vocales que nous n\u2019avions pas encore explor\u00e9es. Je suis certain que cela ne laissera pas les auditeurs indiff\u00e9rents&nbsp;! Nous sommes en train de programmer de nouveaux concerts dans des festivals et des salles de spectacle. Nous publierons les informations d\u00e8s que possible. Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur le groupe, je vous invite \u00e0 nous suivre sur Instagram (@frozenshieldofficial) et \u00e0 \u00e9couter notre musique sur Spotify et YouTube. Merci d\u2019avoir lu jusqu\u2019ici et \u00e0 bient\u00f4t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English version <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"50\" height=\"67\" class=\"wp-image-3623\" style=\"width: 50px;\" src=\"https:\/\/kaosguards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/union_jack_.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1) For the public who don&rsquo;t know you very well yet (and who might be living on Mars!), can you give us some background? How did you meet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hi, this is Isaac Solanas, guitarist, composer and co-lead vocalist from Frozen Shield! The band is a Symphonic Viking Metal project that was created with the will of mixing various metal genres with orchestral elements and fantasy-themed lyrics. I started the band in 2010 experimenting with some melodies and decided I wanted to play with musicians with the same musical vision as me; so the online search of members began and I found Marc Olesti in 2011, who has been the other guitarist and composer since then. Along with other great companions we recorded our EP \u201cDeafening Woods\u201d in 2014, which served as an introduction of the band to the audience and allowed us to perform with artists like Suidakra or Opera Magna. After a couple of years playing live gigs, we dove into the self-production of the album \u00cdnia, which took more time than we expected, but we were aiming for a bigger sound in all aspects, and we didn\u2019t want to make concessions. Finally, we released the album in 2021 with a new lineup, which made it possible to perform the complexity of the album live and allowed us to headline festivals in Portugal and play across Spain, Germany and now, France. After some time, some members departed and we currently have Toni Durany (Main Vocals), who we knew from his times as a singer in the bands Karlahan and The Zen; and Kacper Fornalcyzk (Drums) ready to set the stage on fire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2) How do you define your music and what are your major influences?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a blend of Melodic Death Metal with symphonic elements and folk influences. I\u2019d say it\u2019s music that makes you fantasize with another reality and encourages you to travel through your emotions with aggressive bursts, hymnic chants, festive dances and melancholic passages.<br>The Finnish metal scene is a great influence on our music due to its high melodic nature, such as bands like Wintersun, Ensiferum or Turisas; but musicians from around the world like Epica, Fleshgod Apocalypse or Equilibrium, have also shaped the way we write and enjoy music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3) And you, is there a style of music that you prefer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isaac: I am a huge fan of Symphonic Death Metal, Film and Videogame Soundtracks, Celtic and Electronic Music (One of the reasons we made a cover of the Spanish techno song \u201cFlying Free\u201d). Personally, I enjoy everything that has lots of energy and a good melody!<br>Marc: I\u2019m also a Symphonic Death Metal, Film Soundtracks and Electronic Music enjoyer and moreover, I dig Post-Rock, Atmospheric Black Metal and Classical Music.<br>Toni: The older I get, the more diverse my musical taste is! Nonetheless, Metal is still my favorite, no other gets even close. You can cry with Metal, you can rage with Metal, you can dance with Metal\u2026 C&rsquo;mon guys, it&rsquo;s a damn versatile style! Anyway, Ed Sheeran is kinda cool\u2026<br>Kacper: I personally try not to limit myself to any genre, and I listen to Metal, Classical Music, Electronic Music, and even Hip-hop on a daily basis. Still, a few styles have a special place in my heart: Death and Black Metal, Chopin\u2019s music, and Polish sung poetry (a rather unique to Poland genre).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4) Of the concerts you have already given, is there one that particularly stood out for you?<br>We\u2019ve gathered great memories on many occasions, but I would highlight the shows we played in Portugal, as the audience is super welcoming and gives it all during our set.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I must also mention the amazing surroundings we played in at Merseburger Rocknacht (Germany), as the stage was set in the ruins of a 11th-century-church.<br>Finally, the presentation concert of \u00cdnia in Barcelona holds a special place in our hearts, as it was the culmination of years of hard work and an emotional experience to share it live with our friends and followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5) You are participating in the DARK MEDIEVAL FEST 2026 next May. What are you hoping for or expecting from this event? What would make you happy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are thrilled to be sharing stage with a lot of other bands whose style resonates with ours! We hope to see all the pagan and folk fans gathered and ready to give it all in the festival. We\u2019d love to see some movement during our set and to have a chat with the festival attendees who want to come say hi after the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6) Is this the first time you will be playing in the Lyon area?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only in Lyon, but in France in general. This is our first time in these lands, and we\u2019re excited to discover the French metal scene in action; and what a better way than through a festival like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7) I&rsquo;ve heard positive feedback about your attitude during the concerts. Can you announce an exclusive for DMF 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you! We always try to make the show dynamic and engaging, interacting with the audience and moving around while still doing our best not to miss any notes with everything going on (laughs).<br>We haven\u2019t fully talked about this on social media yet, but we might have some new music out by the time of the festival, it\u2019d be awesome to perform a new song for you all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8) Covid confined people to their homes and consequently concerts stopped. Since the \u00ab\u00a0resumption\u00a0\u00bb of concerts, do you feel a particular enthusiasm from the public?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did notice it in the first few years after lockdown, and perhaps I have normalized it now. But it\u2019s great to see strong attendance at shows and festivals and people keeping the metal flame alive.<br>We released our last full length after Covid, so people were eager to attend concerts, though it was a slow process until we could perform in a normal situation again. I\u2019m glad we can gather again without worrying that much about it and just enjoy music as we used to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9) How to convince someone to come to the festival and see your performance in the style of the 140 characters of Twitter?<\/strong><br>Join us at DMF 2026 for a storm of epic riffs and powerful chants surrounded by a medieval themed festival! Bring your swords and shields!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10) What are your upcoming projects? Are there any other events or CD releases planned?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re working on new material which will expand the frontiers of our sound and I think it\u2019ll be interesting. Also, the addition of Toni Durany to the lineup allows us to experiment with new vocal techniques we hadn\u2019t in our repertoire. I\u2019m sure it won\u2019t leave the listeners indifferent!<br>We\u2019re in the process of booking new gigs in festivals and venues. We\u2019ll post the news as soon as we can, so if you want to know more about the band, I encourage you to follow us on Instagram (@frozenshieldofficial) and keep track of our music on Spotify and Youtube. Thanks for reading this far, and I hope to see you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Premier jet d&rsquo;un p\u00e9riple qui nous emm\u00e8neras sur les traces de la programmmation du DMF 2026, les espagnols de FROZEN SHIELD font figure de formation \u00e0 absolument d\u00e9couvrir.
