Release Notes:
--------------
Ice Ages is founded in 1994 by Richard Lederer, known for dark wave
band "Die Verbannten Kinder Evas" and black metal band "Summoning". In
1997, the first "Ice Ages" CD, entitled "Strike the Ground", was
released. In contrast to the orchestral and melancholic atmosphere of
"Die Verbannten Kinder Evas" or the fantasy world of "Summoning", this
project takes a more aggressive and darker turn.
The second CD to be released on "Napalm Records" in late 2000, "This
Killing Emptiness", follows the style of the debut. However, it boasts
of a superior sound quality and a more mature writing style that blends
ominously with the ever-present deep and distorted voice (and sometimes
raw and clearer voice) of Richard Lederer.
In opposite to other releases of the electro scene, the rhythmical
structure is more complicated and the tunes are more polyphonic. The
aim of "Ice Ages" is to follow its own typical dark, melodic and
sluggish way, and not to follow any modern trends.
After some serious problems with his other projects his whole musical
productivity got a huge undesired rest. Anyway this time was not lost,
during that time Richard started to deal very intensely with new
software synthesizers (mainly with "Reaktor 5") to get more sound
possibilities and a wider flexibility of sound creation for "Ice Ages".
Filled with all those experiences he started to create the new songs in
a short time and finally after a delay of 7 years the new album "Buried
Silence" is almost completed. The lyrics are again written by Grom, but
this time they are especially written for the music, having not existed
before and adapted to the music as on the last album.
The new songs follow the style of "This Killing Emptiness"; they are
again very dark, slow, and melodic, with a heavy distorted drum-sound,
but this time maybe using rougher melodic sounds in most songs and also
even increasing in the complexity of the rhythms.
