ICE AGE (SWEDEN)
Formed January 14, 1985 by Sabrina Kihlstrand and Nyström,
who were also the main songwriters (music in collaboration, lyrics by Nyström).
The band was rounded out by Sabrina's sister Helena, and Strömberg. Ice Age were
initially known as Rock Solid, but switched to their more geographically apt
moniker after their first demo. Helena was replaced by Viktoria Larsson in
October 1986. New demos in a progressively technical thrash vein followed in
1987 and 1988. The band was now managed by Dave Miles and Sean Wright of Nemesis
International, and upon relocating to Wisbech (a small village near Cambridge),
the band shot a video for the track 'Instant Justice' from the 1989 demo of the
same name, receiving airings on both MTV and Super Channel. Ice Age slowly
disintegrated because of bad management. Sources even reported a fake contract
with the FM Revolver label, while other rumors indicate a contract was signed
with AVM and the band readied to record their debut album. Internal band
relations were equally contrary by this point, seeing the members divide into
two camps. Ultimately, Larsson, co-bassist Holmstedt and Fronzoni left in
October 1989 during their Denmark tour, only shortly before they were supposed
to play The Marquee in London.
