I was recently browsing the internet and looking for info on some bands
I listen to, and I came across ICe Age's home page. It stated that not
only have the band changed their stlye of music to a more stripped
down, modern rock approach, but their name has been changed also, to
'soulfractured' (one word). I checked out that website, which seemed
pretty interesting, and listened to a few of the sound samples, and i
am worried that perhaps we have lost one of the better prog-metal bands
out there. The sample songs show a much more restrained and streamlined
approach to music, bordering on generic hard-rock morseo that
prog-metal. A pity I suppose, but you never know...they are only
samples after all, and a new album should be in the works soon. The website is www.soulfractured.com if you wanna check this out If this news is old hat, my apologies, but i found no thread on it. Edit: Oops, put this in the wrong forum. Admins, feel free to transfer this to prog news etc. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Deadwing008/?chartstyle=Basquiat">

Give them credit for changing their name to reflect their new musical style. Genesis should have done that in the 80's. . |

The situation is different ... if Ice Age had been hugely successful with their music, I guess that they would have changed neither their style nor their name. But I can understand if they say that they want to be a popular band. I'm looking forward to listening to their music, prog or not. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I only have their first album, one that I really enjoy. I had hope that they would continue to evolve in a proggier style. Well, good luck to them. ------------- Discipline is never an end in it self, only a means to an end. |

This is absolutely terrible news. One of the better prog metal bands decides to sell out and go commercial. So much for artistic integrity. -------------  |

To me this is old news, I have been sad about the loss of Ice Age for awhile now .. its hard to understand why they are no longer prog, the only thing I can think of is that they were only going along with "trends" at the time they were prog metal. Liberation is a great prog metal CD .. Josh I hope you know what you are doing because there was more money in prog metal than what you are now doing , you cut your own throat man (BTW Mastermind have done the same thing they are no longer what I would call prog as well) |

Well, nobody knows how they develop and what their final music is like!
I've seen it already last year, so no new information, but I thought they released a new album yet, but as it seems just an EP. -------------
