40th anniversary first official reissue of 1973 Icelandic hard rock underground monster that's been the target of collectors for at least two decades! Carefully remastered for pristine sound that lays waste to all the bootlegs that have come before. 12-page booklet with liner notes, clippings and photographs. After several years of hounding band members we are very happy to finally be able to bring you the first official reissue of this legendary gem. Icecross possess a unique dark sound where they zone in and out of styles ranging from Sabbath to Crimson and beyond all with their own inspired twist. Considered proto-metal by many, though it doesn't achieve this with a typical smash your face approach. Instead, Icecross unleash some killer non-cliched guitar sounds making use of Leslie speakers along with ominous effected bass lines, plus splendid use of bow on the guitars to create a perfect dark heavy guitar album that creeps up on you. One of the few, if not the only, Icelandic band inspired by Sabbath at that time. For fans of Leaf Hound, Blue Cheer, Elias Hulk, Iron Claw, Jerusalem, Necronomicon, Hairy Chapter, Incredible Hog, Dust, Pentagram and the like. All tracks are self-composed and sung in English

Press Quotes
Their album has been legendary among collectors for years. All in all this is an album of overwhelming power with an underlying, uncomfortably penetrating coldness. Obviously one for guitar lovers or those willing to delve into the more obscure history of heavy metal
