I.C.E. release "Abominable Astral Summoning"

Following their thunderous 2023 return with long-awaited second album "Ancient Glacial Resurgence" – and the defiant reminder that they are "…still fucking I.C.E.!" – IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT unleash another devastating full-length of arcane and unhinged Black Metal fury.

Now officially released, "Abominable Astral Summoning" is a chilling third assault from a force once thought trapped in cryonic slumber, pushing forward their legacy in a merciless storm of hymns to the primordial anti-God Råvaskieth.

Listen to the full album stream via Bandcamp, our YouTube channel and across all streaming platforms:

I.C.E. had this to say about their third onslaught:

"I.C.E. returns for another relentless wave of arctic blizzard attacks! Ravaskieth has invoked a fifth frozen soul to be added to the ranks of the upcoming obliteration regime: Avalanche! - Mover of the glacial mountains! Together alongside Mammoth, Bleak, Blisserred and IceSickKill, they combine powers to advance the archaic imperial army of ravenous white death! Toiling deep inside hollow caverns of ice, complete with clandestine sacrifices and esoteric offerings, I.C.E. has now raised a new legion of frigid banshee phantoms and abominable behemoths that are now re-animated and ready for destruction. The blitzkrieg of freezing white death is inescapable and here once again!"

"Abominable Astral Summoning" has received praise from press and fans alike:

""Abominable Astral Summoning" is the final liberating blow of this collective — a true revelation in the raw and primal realm of Black Metal." (Powermetal.de)

""Without a doubt IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT's best record to date - they are absolutely on fire!" (Heavymetal.dk)

"Super album! The quality reminds me of some records from the 90s, great wild vocals, awesome riffs and the drums are on fire." (YT comment)

"Abominable Astral Summoning" is available on CD, vinyl - including an exclusive DMP variant - and digital. New merch is also available. Orders are possible via our EU, US, and Bandcamp shops.

IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT have just wrapped up a brief four-show campaign across Latin America (see images here) and the band are currently preparing for upcoming live ceremonies throughout the U.S. and Europe, with an appearance at Metal Threat Festival confirmed. More information will be revealed soon.
