I.C.E. premiere 'Phantoms of Ice'

After delivering the triumphant 2023 affirmation that they are "…still fucking I.C.E.!" via 20-year-awaited second album "Ancient Glacial Resurgence", the US Black Metal horde returns with their third revelation – "Abominable Astral Summoning". I.C.E. now unveils a second new composition to grant both disciples and adversaries of Råvaskieth passage into their impending blizzard-born assault.

Experience 'Phantoms of Ice' – a ruthless and chillingly precise second single – below and on our YouTube channel:

The band comments:

"As the reality of starvation and cold sets in, the walls burst open and the slow murder begins. The Phantoms of ICE are ancient monstrous beings that manifest through the archaic frosted veil (the astral frozen portal) that has been conjured and opened by I.C.E. on the command of the Great Råvaskieth, (the ONE who came before all). Much like the Blizzard Banshees, these ghostly demons appear with the wind and the hail. They can pass through all matter and infect and eviscerate all living creatures from within. These phantoms are just one force amongst many legions of old that are conjured to destroy all life and return this universe to its original blinding and empty bleak white state of eternal despair."

The first single from the new album, 'Insufferable Shivers', offered a rare visual glimpse into the frostbitten universe of I.C.E. via a haunting video. Watch below:

"Abominable Astral Summoning" will be released on CD, vinyl - including an exclusive DMP variant - and digital on July 11th. A special t-shirt design will accompany the launch. Pre-orders are possible via our EU, US, and Bandcamp shops.

To spread their grim gospel across the globe, I.C.E. have announced a series of select live appearances in follow-up to their appearance at Maryland Deathfest this May (view photos here).

I.C.E. had this to say on future live performances:

"You will see us in South American, in the United States and in Europe. You will see us in Hell. You will see us all around you. It will start with rain and hail and frost on every landscape. You will see the skies and valleys turn white and the storm clouds gathering. We will be all around you. The ghastly banshee hordes will enter your homes and ravage your families. You will see us in the mirror, you will see us in the lakes, you will see us stand above you as your decapitated heads sink in the snow from the hot steam of your warm blood. Before you die you will know us well!"
