New Kingdom Related Projects - Ice
Ice were an industrial band formed by Justin Broadarick (Godflesh)
and Kevin Martin (God, Techno Animal). Their debut album 'Under The
Skin' was released in 1993 and was a very different work to their second album 'Bad Blood,' which contained
a great deal of hip hop influence and featured collaborations with Sebastian Laws
and Scott Harding of NK.
Other members included, Dave Cochrane (God, Head of David), Lou Ciccolelli (God, Fall of Because), with guests like: DJ Vadim, Blixa Bargold, Toastie Tyler, EL-P, A-Syde, Sensational, and Priest.
Ice were a deliciously dark, noisy, wall of mangled sound that managed to mix dub, hip-hop, electronica, and industrial into something super-charged, claustrophobic and utterly unique.

Comments
Chunky beats and grungy sounds, this LP sounds as good as New Kingdom's work and is a must for any New Kingdom fan. Sebastian Laws features on several of the tracks and Scotty Hard's drum patterns make this criminally ignored LP one of the finest forgotton records of the 90s.

Comments
A superb 12" featuring two tracks not heard on Bad Blood, plus two remixes of Bad Blood tracks. The title track 'Headwreck' is a masterwork of dark rap, messed up beats and psychedlic sounds. Another lost classic.
