Ice Age

I have two albums from a band called Ice Age...they're a prog metal band on Magna Carta records. Is this the band you mean?

That's a different Ice Age. The one I'm looking for is an all female band from the late 80's. Click on the link in the original post to see info about them on www.rockdetector.com
 
I still remember once having heard one of their songs - "In The Name Of Science" - on a Dutch metal radio-programme somewhere in the late eighties, but unfortunately, I haven´t any of their demos :erk: - only a two-page interview from Kerrang! No. 228 (March 4, 1989) and two live reviews, one also from Kerrang! No. 228 and another one from issue No. 253 (August 26, 1989) which both sounded very promising. E.g. in the live review in Kerrang! No. 228, it says: "...Definitely, Ice Age slip comfortably into the Thrash bracket...For all the usual time changes, speedtraps and rasping vocals Ice Age manage to retain an air of originality. A style of their own that owes most to their willingness to absorb influences from mainstream Metal. There´s no restrictions but plenty of melody within the structure of their songs and you don´t even have to look too hard to see it...Lyrics are performend in good English and are considerably more intelligent that the usual `Let me lick your love pump´ Spinal Tap cum Scorpions fare. There´s not much more you can say about Ice Age at the present time except that a bright future looks on the cards..." - Obviously, it (= a bright future) wasn´t meant to be.
 
Man, Ice Age is moving up on my list of things to find! Looks to be a long hunt but there has to be someone out there with this stuff. I talked to a friend today who thinks he may have one of the demos but he just needs to find it...... you know how that goes. :)

Yeah I was going to say I know the band, but I can't recall any fems in the band. I like the newer Ice Age. "Blood of Ages" is a great song. Ice Age, Wolf and Lemur Voice were three pretty good prog/power bands that really never got off the ground. I didn't know ICw Age was still around. I might have to look into their newest release.

Just in case you are still looking for some Ice Age-stuff, Greeno, someone (-J-) recently posted a link in another thread leading to a website where you can download (among other old school demos) Ice Age´s "General Alert"-demo. Just follow this link:

http://bangbangblog.info/tag/demo-archive/

and scroll down a bit.

There´s also a link to their myspace-page, where you can listen to the song "Instant Justice" (very good thrash metal!), which is not on the "General Alert"-demo.

I also posted the links to the videoclips of "General Alert" and "Instant Justice" in the youtube-thread.
 
Just in case anyone should care:

I found an interesting interview done for the metalmaidens-website with two of the original bandmembers two years ago:

http://www.metalmaidens.com/iceageint.htm

It seems their manager was a real asshole and that their career probably would have taken a different direction without him.

I already posted the link to the myspace-page of former bandmember Sabrina Kihlstrand. Now I´ve found out that Pia Nyström, another former bandmember, also has a myspace-page, namely here.

On this page you can listen to two Ice Age-songs, titled "The Betrayal" and "The Final Decision".

The other two (also downloadable) songs on her page are by a (now defunct) band called Idiots Rule (which also gets mentioned in the interview on the metalmaidens-page). One of these two songs is a coverversion of Metallica´s "For Whom The Bell Tolls".
 
I could careless about Ice Age, I'm just happy to have a Greeno sighting...

Hahaha... I guess I'm kind of like a bigfoot around here these days, huh? You hear the rumors of a sighting but you're not sure if you should believe it. :)
