The darker visions of industrial-strength trip-hop plus death-metal raging equals the intense dub-hop of
Ice. A side-project-of-sorts formed around
Godflesh's
Justin K. Broadrick and
God's Kevin Martin (the same lineup comprising
Techno Animal),
Ice formed in the early '90s with additional bandmembers Dave Cochrane and Alex Buess. The quartet released Under the Skin, their debut LP, in 1993.
Broadrick and Martin both kept quite busy with other work -- for
Techno Animal, Final,
Godflesh,
God, and others -- and released only the 1995 remix EP Quarantine. Finally, in 1998,
Ice returned with their second album, Bad Blood, and new drummer
Lou Ciccotelli, plus collaborators like Sebastian Laws and
Scott Harding of
New Kingdom,
Blixa Bargeld,
DJ Vadim, and
El-P from
Company Flow. ~ John Bush
