IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT I.C.E: ANCIENT GLACIAL RESURGENCE [LP] (BLUE MERGE WITH WHITE SPLATTER VINYL) - Apocalyptic End In White (CD)

Rejoice! Following a triumphant "Ancient
Glacial Resurgence" in September 2023,
Imperial Crystalline Entombment's infamous
2004 debut "Apocalyptic End in White" is
once again available on long out-of-print CD,
and for the first time ever on cassette.
Originating in 2003 after the arctic
summoning of the ancient astral Anti-God
"R vaskieth", 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.
The words of I.C.E.:
"Revived and renewed! Behold the first wave
of freezing death is available once more!
The original onslaught of arctic rage is being
resurrected and thrown into the current
winds of apocalyptic chaos. The hypothermic
storm of old - "The Apocalyptic End in
White" - is back to provoke madness
amongst the masses. Succumb to the frozen
power of the Ancient Lords of White Death!"
