[PLOT SUMMARY]
DESCRIPTION:
When it comes to the avant-garde and truly adventurous in heavy music, and hardcore punk and metal in particular, we don't think anyone is as crucial and ahead of their time as ICEBURN, at least in terms of exploring jazz and avant garde music within the post-hardcore framework. And we don't think any band has ever left more hardcore kids baffled than ICEBURN. Beginning as a skatecore outfit in Salt Lake City in the late 1980's/early 90's, ICEBURN would eventually evolve into a highly cerebral, totally crushing (but not always heavy) avant-jazz ensemble that could still whip out a massive hardcore riff or sludgy breakdown in the middle of their often-sprawling compositions. We're not sure if the band is even still around, as it has been a few years since anything new came out from them, but for now we are working on getting their entire back catalog stocked at Crucial Blast for anyone who missed out in the 90's when much of this stuff first hit oxygen. Power Of The Lion originally came out in 1998, and features the band at what might be the pinnacle of their avant-jazz career arc, with their ambitious two electric guitars/two contrabasses/drums setup. The further these guys went into the vortex of modern composition and avant-garde jazz, the more our minds were utterly blown. Conceptually, Power Of The Lion is pretty heady, at least for a band that emerged from the straightedge hardcore scene of Salt Lake City in the late 80's. The band states that "...the 7 pieces, entitled Power of the Lion 1-7, were conceived as a modular music system, tightly connected yet richly diverse. They can be played in a vast variety of simultaneous combinations or collaged together in a linear or translucent manner. On the CD the pieces are presented in their pure forms, the essential raw materials and the residual improvisations. On the subsequent live performances of this band the collage theories will be put into practice. This is inspired in part by quantum mechanics. Theories [which contend] that all things are connected, all matter is neither created or destroyed only changed, scientifically we are all part of the same whole. The whole then becomes more than the sum of its parts because of the complex new relationships which arise." Heavy stuff. Musically, Power Of The Lion is an awesome, haunting journey through scraping,skittery improv, dreamy jazz-drones, and meticulously planned prog, sort of falling somewhere between the spacier jams of the late GRATEFUL DEAD, KING CRIMSON, and Coltrane/Miles Davis, but stretched out into infinity and sometimes momentarily erupting into heavy math/prog riffage. Beautiful instrumental outsider-jazz improv that we love to throw on as atmosphere music and max out in it's presence.
FROM REVELATION RECORDS: Iceburn's newest album, "Power Of The Lion" is an intense mixture of theories, philosophies and colors that combine for another innovative release from this collective. Gentry Densley from the Iceburn Collective states in their bio that, "The 7 pieces, entitled Power of the Lion 1-7, were conceived as a modular music system, tightly connected yet richly diverse. They can be played in a vast variety of simultaneous combinations or collaged together in a linear or translucent manner. On the CD the pieces are presented in their pure forms, the essential raw materials and the residual improvisations. On the subsequent live performances of this band the collage theories will be put into practice. This is inspired in part by quantum mechanics. Theories [which contend] that all things are connected, all matter is neither created or destroyed only changed, scientifically we are all part of the same whole. The whole then becomes more than the sum of its parts because of the complex new relationships which arise."
