Finnish Prog Metal Force Frozen Factory Drops Second Single & Video “Get More Stupid”

Finnish progressive metal collective Frozen Factory strikes back with their blistering new single and music video, “Get More Stupid.”

What happens when we keep falling but never learn? “Get More Stupid” hits hard with blunt lyrics, heavy riffs, and that signature alt-progressive edge. A raw look at cycles of mistakes, ego, and a world obsessed with style over substance.

“Get More Stupid” is the second track taken from the highly anticipated album Apocalypse Inc., due for release on January 16, 2026, via Wormholedeath.

Frozen Factory shapes a distinct heavy rock sound built on prog-leaning metal and exploring deep themes of conflict, truth, and mystery. Their expansive influences span from the classic rock introspection of Pink Floyd and the metal might of Iron Maiden to the alternative intensity of Alice in Chains and the dark wave textures of Depeche Mode, showcasing a band with strong artistic control.

Formed in late 2018, the band’s direction was quickly cemented by the arrival of British/Finnish vocalist Stephen Baker. Following their debut album Planted Feet and their first live show in 2020, the current lineup—featuring drummer Marianne Heikkinen and lead guitarist Zsolt Szilagyi—solidified their momentum. Their 2022 album, Of Pearls & Perils, garnered notable radio support, including airplay on Germany’s SWR1, setting a high benchmark for their new material.

FROZEN FACTORY Line-Up:
Stephen Baker – Lead Vocals
Tomi Hassinen – Bass
Zsolt Szilagyi – Lead Guitar
Johnny Koivumäki – Rhythm Guitar
Marianne Heikkinen – Drums

Silentium’s Riina Rinkinen as guest soloist at Frozen Factory – watch ‘Reach Through The Waves’ video

Known as the heralds of alt-rock, Frozen Factory has invited Riina Rinkinen, known from Silentium, to interpret their wonderful new ballad. The single, titled ‘Reach Through The Waves’, was released on digital platforms on January 31th.

Frozen Factory, who released their second album ‘Of Pearls & Perils’ in 2022, has been dropping singles to the delight of their audience at a steady pace since then. The new song ‘Reach Through The Waves’ links to the narrative of their debut album.

“I wanted to bring a central character from the Of Pearls & Perils album to life. Although the female character plays a key role in the album’s title track and is even seen on the cover art, she has still been left out of the limelight,” says the band’s singer Stephen Baker.

Now it’s time for an exceptional outing, as the band has invited a guest soloist for their latest release: Silentium’s Riina Rinkinen.

“I felt strongly that only Riina is the right person to interpret the tragic character and the message that unites people in the song. I am extremely happy that she accepted the job,” Baker continues.

“The song is wonderful, both to sing and to hear. It is always a pleasure to make music with talented people, and there is an exceptional amount of talent in this band,” comments guest soloist Riina Rinkinen.

Although the story of the song is related to the previous album, it will be released on the band’s next album in late 2025.

“We hope that the listener will enjoy this link and expansion to our past works. Reach Through The Waves will be an important part of our third full-length release, called Apocalypse Inc.”, concludes Baker.

The video, which is faithful to the theme of the song, was filmed by Lauri “Läpä” Koivusalo and edited by Teppo Ristola, known from the band Where’s My Bible, among others.
