History
Iceage were formed in 2008, when the members of the band averaged 17 years old.[2] They signed to Escho to release their debut 7" in 2009[3] 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,[4] and their debut album New Brigade was released in January 2011 in Denmark and on 21 June 2011, in the US.[5]
In February 2013, Iceage released their second studio album, You're Nothing, after signing with the independent record label Matador Records.[6] It earned a four star rating (out of five) from Allmusic and four-and-a-half stars out of five from Humo.[7][2]
Iceage's third studio album, Plowing Into the Field of Love, was released in October 2014 by Matador.[8][9] All three albums received a nomination for IMPALA's European Independent Album of the Year Award.[10] Iceage released their fourth album, Beyondless, on 4 May 2018 through Matador.[11]
The band's chief songwriter and lead vocalist, Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, also performs under the name Marching Church and has released two albums: This World Is Not Enough (2015) and Telling It Like It Is (2016).[12]
On 7 May 2021, Iceage released their fifth album Seek Shelter.[13]
