Finnish gothic/progressive metal act Rioghan releases a haunting reimagining of Madonna's "Frozen". The song is accompanied by a music video done by Aarni Visuals. The track begins the Frozen EP cycle, leading the listener through a cathartic story. Known for their blend of modern metal, gothic melancholy, and cinematic atmosphere, Rioghan transforms Madonna's 1998 hit into a darkly ethereal experience that bridges fragility and crushing heaviness.

The song serves as the first chapter of a story that will continue through the band's upcoming original material. The Frozen EP, set for release next spring, will feature five tracks – each accompanied by its own music video. Rioghan worked again with their long-time collaborator Aarni Visuals, and like always, the results are breathtaking.

Vocalist Rioghan Darcy comments: "We've continued our usual way of releasing a new EP after an album. However, this time there's only one cover song. We were planning a fourth cover EP and wanted to include our own version of Madonna's 'Frozen'. But as we began working on it, Valtteri and Teemu started developing a broader narrative idea based on the song – something that could extend into a full EP. So, we decided to abandon the idea of cover EP entirely, and dive into this alternative path that we could shape into something truly our own. 'Chapter I: Frozen' lays the foundation for a heart-melting story rooted in the theme of the Kept album." Link
