Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rising from the straight-edge hardcore scene of Salt Lake City, Iceburn dramatically pivots into highly complex, jazz-inflected metal on their sophomore release. 'Hephaestus' is a suite of dense, wildly progressive alternative metal characterized by shifting time signatures and cryptic, heavy dissonance.
