After delivering the triumphant 2023 affirmation that they are „…still fucking I.C.E.!“ via 20-year-awaited second album „Ancient Glacial Resurgence„, the US Black Metal horde returns with their third revelation – „Abominable Astral Summoning„. I.C.E. now unveils a second new composition to grant both disciples and adversaries of Råvaskieth passage into their impending blizzard-born assault. Experience ‚Phantoms of Ice‚ – a ruthless and chillingly precise second single – below and all streaming platforms: Imperial Crystalline Entombment – Phantoms Of Ice
The band comments: „As the reality of starvation and cold sets in, the walls burst open and the slow murder begins. The Phantoms of ICE are ancient monstrous beings that manifest through the archaic frosted veil (the astral frozen portal) that has been conjured and opened by I.C.E. on the command of the Great Råvaskieth, (the ONE who came before all). Much like the Blizzard Banshees, these ghostly demons appear with the wind and the hail. They can pass through all matter and infect and eviscerate all living creatures from within. These phantoms are just one force amongst many legions of old that are conjured to destroy all life and return this universe to its original blinding and empty bleak white state of eternal despair.„
