Ice is an industrial band formed by guitarist Justin Broadrick and saxophonist/singer Kevin Martin.
Their first album, Under The Skin, was somewhat similar to the industrial rock of Broadrick's Godflesh, but with a more experimentalist bent, notably via Martin's free jazz-influenced saxophone.
By Bad Blood, their second album, the band had absorbed a great deal of hip hop influence, and nearly all the songs featured contributions from guests well-known in underground rap. However, the experimentalism continued, with singer Blixa Bargeld of legendary experimentalists Einsturzende Neubauten appearing as well, often alongside the rappers. According to critic Ned Raggett[1], the experiments aren't always successful, but he credits the band for expanding their sound.
