Iceage were formed in 2008, when the members of the band averaged 17 years old. They signed to Escho to release their debut 7" in 2009 and later on also to
Tambourhinoceros in Denmark and
Dais Records in the United States. They were then picked up by What's Your Rupture? Records for international release, and their debut album
New Brigade was released in January 2011 in
Denmark and on 21 June 2011, in the US. In February 2013, Iceage released their second studio album, ''
You're Nothing'', after signing with the independent record label
Matador Records. It earned a four star rating (out of five) from
Allmusic and four-and-a-half stars out of five from Humo. The album marked a shift for the band, moving away from their hardcore punk roots and embracing a broader sonic pallet, as well as influences like
Nick Cave and
Leonard Cohen. All three albums received a nomination for
IMPALA's
European Independent Album of the Year Award. Iceage released their fourth album,
Beyondless, on 4 May 2018 through
Matador. On 7 May 2021, Iceage released their fifth album
Seek Shelter. It was their first album working with an outside producer (
Sonic Boom of
Spacemen 3), and their first album to feature guitarist Casper Morilla, who joined the band in 2019. Their sixth album
For Love of Grace & the Hereafter is set to be released on 29 May 2026. ==Band members==
