Frozen Plasma's debut single, "Hypocrite," was released November 24,2005; their first album, "Artificial", was released April 25, 2006 through Infacted Recordings in Europe and through Nilaihah Records in the U.S.
Felix Marc (Vocals)
Felix started to create music in 1994. The initial pieces consisted exclusively of synthesizer -, drumcomputer and sampled sounds, which were steered via a software sequencer. Since 1994, there have been different stylistic changes and developments from Hard Trance, to House and Rave and later to a symbiosis of Dream House and Trance.
The developments in the creation of his music went hand in hand with a regular commitment as DJ. First limited to parties and school happenings, he soon became a resident DJ in local clubs, which gave him the opportunity to present his own material to a broad public.
In 2001, Felix joined efforts with his long-time friend Torben Wendt in his Dark Wave group Diorama as producer, background singer and live keyboard player. This co-operation brought forward some amazing musical pieces and experiences. The latest release is called A Different Life which is already their 5th album.
During a support tour with Diorama for VNV Nation in April 2005, Felix connected to Vasi Vallis who was playing live keyboards for VNV. In the aftermath, they decided to start a collaboration with Felix being the lead singer.
Vasi Vallis (Songwriting, Lyrics, Production)
Vasi's first project appeared in 1986. His minimal techno/acid project Galatea became a well known name in the Swiss underground scene. After several Acid productions for Galatea and some co-productions for popular Swiss, Italian and German underground DJ's, his style changed into the early minimal techno, when techno was underground and not commercial music. Vasi became an in-house producer for several techno labels and worked as a talent scout for Sony Music Switzerland. In 1994, he produced his first pop/eurodance project, Provocation, which had a top 10 hit in Switzerland and top 50 in the Spanish and Italian club/dance charts. 1997 he produced some album tracks as a "ghost producer" for several major labels. The more he worked with majors, the more he disliked the way they treated their bands and he missed the emotion and passion for music within this highly commerce-focused industry. The following years, he focused on the setup of a new studio, which gave him the possibility to work independently from labels or other producers. In 2001 he discovered bands like VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, Neuroticfish and Assemblage 23 which combined techno/trance elements with melancholic chords and vocals. He decided to start his own project and found a singer (Henrik Iversen) who's voice fitted perfectly to his new sound. The band was called NamNamBulu and was founded in the summer of 2002. In March 2003 he signed a deal with Infacted Recordings, a new label founded by Torben Schmidt. Torben had the ideas, vision and passion for music Vasi was looking for. The first longplayer "Distances" became a huge success in the scene and NNB played about 40 gigs all over the world. Vasi produced more than 25 remixes for bands like Suicide Commando, [:SITD:], Lights of Euphoria, Tom Wax or Absurd Minds. In April 2005, he joined VNV Nation as live keyboarder and played the Matter and Form tour as well as the Mera Luna Festival in Germany. In June 2005, Henrik left NamNamBulu due to personal issues. Just 2 months later, Vasi released his industrial Project Reaper which was in the German Alternative Top Ten for 6 weeks and reached number 1 on the Dutch Alternative Charts. Vasi then met Felix on a VNV Nation tour, and the two musicians embarked on a journey that would become Frozen Plasma.

Frozen Plasma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Join the war machine and fight on foreign ground
Our intentions are righteousness and peace
This can be your show, go feed the weaponry
Go and give your life for god and fatherland
The mysteries of war will lie in your hands
Our reinforcements are waiting to invade
Help us run down the rogues of this world
Hey, liberator from far off
Do something you can be proud of
Take your rifle and fight for your right
Love your platoon and enjoy your fight
Patriots, we will reward you
Our nation will be so proud of you
Take your rifle and fight for your right
Love your platoon and enjoy your fight
Heroes and crusaders, enjoy your stay
Hear our slogans, let us feed your brain
Patriots listen: we need you to volunteer
Soon your final destination will be clear
Hey yoh trooper, you're the coolest kid in town
Join the war machine and fight on foreign ground
Our intentions are righteousness and peace
This can be your show, go feed the weaponry
The lyrics of Frozen Plasma's song Warmongers depict an attempt to entice young people into joining the military to fight in foreign wars. The first stanza describes how the singer, a soldier or a recruiter, glorifies the idea of joining the war machine and fighting under the banner of god and country. The second and third stanzas are aimed at convincing the potential recruits that they will be praised and rewarded for their service, and are promised that their final destination will be clear. The chorus repeats the same message of joining the war machine in which they promise to fight for righteousness and peaceful intentions.
However, the song's intention is not to praise or promote war. Rather, it is a commentary on the manipulation and indoctrination that occurs within societies which glamorize the idea of war and soldiering. The repeated refrain of "Love your platoon and enjoy your fight" is a clear example of this manipulation, as both the joy and the camaraderie of combat are emphasized while any negative or violent consequences are downplayed.
In summary, the song Warmongers paints a picture of how society glorifies war and indoctrinates young people in joining the military, without truly understanding the harm and destruction that is caused in the process.

No matter if its irony or not, no matter if the topic of the lyrics is seen from a negative or positive point of view its a reflection of reality; trying to emulate the call to war. And hell its a good song.
