ICEBURN – Asclepius

LP – Black Vinyl

Heavy music collective Iceburn will release their first album in over 20 years, Asclepius, on June 25 via Southern Lord. The album features two long tracks, “Healing The Ouroboros” and “Dahlia Rides the Firebird” (the latter based on a traditional Greek song), and they’ve shared an excerpt of the former. It’s a very promising two-minute clip of avant-sludge and you can hear it below. The album was recorded and engineered by SubRosa’s Andy Patterson, who also collaborates with Iceburn guitarist/vocalist Gentry Densley’s other bands Eagle Twin and Ascend.

“Iceburn had always been about progressing and pushing the boundaries, pushing the music ahead of ourselves so we had to work to catch up,” Gentry said. “This new record comes from a place of rediscovery of who we are deep down, a place that with all it’s challenges and comforts, ultimately feels like home. In recent years Iceburn basically became four friends hanging out and working on music. After all going in different directions for so many years we found ways to embrace our earliest influences and the foundations of our musical selves. We basically cycled back to the way we made music in our heyday, our salad days, and it felt right once again.”
