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 unveil 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:
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. Read more about the album and watch the video HERE.

“Abominable Astral Summoning” will be released on CD, vinyl – including an exclusive DMP variant – and digital on July 11th via Debemur Morti Productions. A special t-shirt design will accompany the launch. Pre-orders are now live at the official EU website of the label and BandCamp (it’s BandCamp Friday, so you may want to use that option).
Mother of THE VOID.
Underground music is the ultimate weapon against mediocrity.
