IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT "Apocalyptic End In White" [CASSETTE]
2023 - Black Metal from United States
Detailed Description
Originating in 2003 after the arctic summoning of the ancient astral Anti-God "Ravaskieth", I.C.E. was manifested through the hypothermic possession of four unwilling dead souls - "IceSickKill", "Blisserred", "Bleak" and "Mammoth" - who vowed to stop at nothing until a frozen wasteland was achieved. "Apocalyptic End in White" is a violent tempest of intense riffing and brutally compulsive songcraft, and a fierce rebuttal to the theory that Black Metal went fallow in the early 2000s. Possessed by the fanatical mysticism of full-bodied Norwegian BM and the power of contemporaneous battering-ram Death Metal, the band plays here as one freezing, breathing organism to produce a cult classic which still feels fresh as the driven snow.
