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 THE GREAT DIVIDE. This ambitious debut stands the test of time, acclaimed and sought-after by progressive rock and metal fans alike. 2001 saw the release of the band’s sophomore record LIBERATION, pushing the boundaries even further with melodic heights and metallic crunch. The band supported the release with festival performances and tours of Europe and the USA. At that point the band took an extended break but the members stayed in contact.
Now 22 years later Ice Age is back with their third album WAVES OF LOSS AND POWER. The material that comprises the release finds the members of Ice Age wearing their varied influences confidently on their collective sleeve. Once again the band conjures the spirits of Kansas, Genesis, Styx, fleeting shades of Queensryche, Rush, and Fates Warning. In the true prog tradition, Ice Age continues their epic sagas begun on their first two albums. In all respects, WAVES is a seminal masterwork of catchy, thoughtful, progressive songwriting.
The album was mixed and mastered by Rich Mouser (Transatlantic, Dream Theater, Spock’s Beard). The cover art concept and booklet design were brought to life by Killustrations, with a fresh new band logo by Thomas Ewerhard.
Ice Age will see the band returning to the US festival stage by kicking off ProgPower USA XXII on September 6, 2023 in Atlanta.
