New Jersey prog metallers ICE AGE are back with their first album in 22 years titled “Waves of Loss and Power“. Originally formed on Long Island, NY, Ice Age began in 1991 when the four members clicked over a mutual passion for classic and progressive rock with a penchant for heavier music undercurrents.
The band was signed by the noted progressive label Magna Carta resulting in 1999’s first album, and a second in 2001. The band supported the releases with festival performances and tours of Europe and the USA. At that point ICE AGE took an extended break but the members stayed in contact.
If you are new to ICE AGE don’t be confused by the band’s name or the new album artwork which makes you think about ‘epic power metal’ – NO, Ice Age are classic ’90s progressive metal wearing their varied influences confidently on their collective sleeve.
Once again the band conjures the spirits of Queensryche, Rush, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, with fleeting shades of of Kansas, Genesis, Styx, and more.
