Clash
A frenetic burst of sustained creativity, ‘For The Love Of Grace & The Hereafter’ is arresting from the off. Aggressive and melodic in equal measure, its dichotomy is completely thrilling – perhaps the band’s best to date, a blast of sheer adrenalin from start to finish

Northern Transmissions
With this latest release, they step back a bit, though not a big step, from the post-punk style, and get a bit lighter. It will be fun to see how they decide to swap out styles for the next release

Uncut
This sixth album is played ragged and on the brink of collapse, as if Iceage were still teenagers, but with the added weapon of Elias Rønnenfelt's sharpened songwriting. Print edition only

There’s a newfound lightness here, and even though the amps are still maxed out and the songs aren’t exactly chipper hymns of optimism and renewal, there’s a sense that Iceage is finding hope within the chaos for the first time

Under The Radar
It’s hard to believe the boys have been on the go for 18 years, because their latest offering has all the momentum and ramshackle charm of a newly discovered band of the moment showing off their killer new debut
