Album Review :
Thin Ice "Misery Noose"
By Marco Leal in Reviews | 9 Comments
San Antonio, Texas’ Metallic Hardcore act Thin Ice has recently released demos for what would’ve been their full length follow up to their Blood & Ink records EP release “Revelation Through Tribulation”. Needless to say, this doesn’t disappoint in the least. Heavy and aggressive as expected.
Thin Ice was formed in 2009 and a few months after doing so signed a deal with Blood & Ink records and released their “Revelation Through Tribulation” EP. The fact that happened so quickly should give those new to Thin Ice an idea just how good these guys are. Those of you already familiar with them already know what these guys bring to the table with their aggressive form of metallic hardcore reminiscent of such greats as Advent, Figure Four, Goldmill (members of Thin Ice), and Buried Alive.
This collection of demos for what was to be their “Misery Noose” full length doesn’t disappoint! Majority of these songs were written 7 years ago following along the lines of their prior EP. Heaviness and aggressiveness throughout! For these songs being demos, the production value is of high quality. Other fans like myself can only hope that this release will lead to more upcoming releases and possibly a tour in support.
Currently this album is only available for purchase on their bandcamp page. The plus is, it’s for a name your price! Consider contributing to them by clicking on the link below or enter 0 and enjoy these tunes for free!
FFO: Advent, Figure Four, Goldmill, and Buried Alive
Hey guys, I received an e-mail from Jake today in regards to the upcoming Goldmill release. He had the following to say: “I (Jake – vocals) am currently in Scotland pursuing a graduate degree in psychology. I have all the Goldmill project files with me, however, and while I can’t specify a release date, I can say that it shouldn’t be long before you have some new music in your hands (or ears, I suppose). Thanks for your interest, and please stay tuned!” As far as what the status is with Thin Ice, I assume they’re on hiatus due to… Read more »
Thanx marco!!
This is a banger. Fun from beginning to end.
So are they still together?
Wat “stevo” sed. ^ An update on the band status+ the story of y ther not on bni anymor or y/ if they broke up wud b nice.
In all honesty, I’m not really sure. The following was posted on their facebook page in reference to this release which I’m pretty sure was done so by Jake (vocalist) “There’s a lot to say, but right now I just want you to have these tracks.” I know Jake, Drew, Rick, and Steve are currently focused on finishing up Goldmill’s upcoming release, but Thin Ice did play a show about 4 months back. I’ll keep you guys posted if and when I hear anything in regards to their status.
Ok then, how bout a goldmil update? Ther last “update” was in jan, lol.
Only info I have in regards to Goldmill is that they’re finishing up working on their upcoming release. I’m hoping that means final mix down and mastering as I personally have been waiting for it since January. The most recent show they’ve played that I’m aware of was back in May. Just as with Thin Ice, I’ll make a post if and when I get any info.
I know, thats y i was askin. No updates since jan.
