While looking through a catalog that came with one of my Will Haven CD's, I noticed that there was a band out there called Iceburn. I thought that this was a very cool name and after doing a bit of research, concluded that it most likely belonged to a very cool band. I was right. Imagine Tool's Undertow album, only laced with great jazz licks, a killer guitar duo, and bizarre references to classical music and Loony Tunes. Sound too good to be true? Surprisingly, it's not. This is a great CD by a great band who I will continue to buy CD's from. If you like good hard rock music, then you will surely love Firon.

Will Haven saves the day again!

I have been going to Iceburn shows since 1992 and I have never been let down. Iceburn is the only band that I like more than Fugazi. Thier new stuff is more of a required taste but still beautiful.

This trio is from Salt lake city, Utah's hardcore experimental scene. Throwing everything from Miles Davis, Annoymous4, Vivaldi, and Frank Zappa like modes into this guitar driven stew. Guts and Burn are key tracks to check out!

Too bad people don't know them better. This is a totally incredible record, way better than Poetry of Fire. If you like Fugazi, Drive like Jehu and Jesus Lizard, get this album. Not their other albums, this album. It's a masterpiece.

After this first CD this band added the word "Collective" after "Iceburn" to their name and got much more improvisational & avantgarde. That is not to say that there other CD's are not as good, just different. The tracks are much longer & more meandery. This one just flat out rocks in an excellent way. The musicianship is incredible. The first thing I thought was "Experimental Metal". Metal in tone but Avant experimental in execution. If you like heavy w/ lots of cool time changes than look no further.
