Current mood:  optimistic
Hi IceFans !
Icewind wishes you a nice Halloween !
Here, it's raining in Montreal, but the day is exceptionnaly hot for an October 31st (forcasting up to 17 C).

We are now set in our new rehearsal room. We are planning on a magnificent show and working hard to make it happen not only in Montreal or in the Province of Quebec (i.e.: more touring).

We will soon announce a good news that will help us achieve our music and band objectives for late 2009 and 2010. So keep on the look out !

Enjoy Halloween and don't eat to many candies ;) !!

Salut IceFans !
Icewind vous souhaite un bel Halloween !
Ici, Montréal est sous la pluie, mais la journée est exceptionnellement chaude pour un 31 octobre (il annonce jusqu'à 17 C).

Nous sommes maintenant très bien installés dans notre nouveau local de répétition. Nous préparons un spectacle grandiose et travaillons fort pour que ce spectacle n'ait lieu pas lieu seulement qu'à Montréal ou au Québec (c-à-d.: faire des tournées).

Nous annoncerons bientôt une bonne nouvelle qui nous aidera à atteindre nos objectifs musicaux et de groupe pour la fin de l'année 2009 et 2010. Restez donc à l'affût !

Passez un joyeux Halloween et ne manger pas trop de bonbons ;) !!

Hola!

First, we want to thank everyone who asked their question to Icewind. We will answer it this week in the form of a short video...

Secondly, we want to thank everyone who came to Sherbrooke to support us last  Saturday. We had blast playing there and we look foward to go back to Sherbrooke!!!
Moreover, we will take a short brake from live concerts for we want to implement a new live setup for future concerts... For the moment, we can only say that Icewind's upcoming concerts will reach a higher level of entertainment... More to come...

Finally, we have uploaded the second part of Jay's recording footage... Go check it out....

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying summer so far! Everything's cool on my side except that I'm back to work in less than a week (... most of you guys already know that I'm a high-school teacher... )

I used some of my spare time to edit many hours of studio footage that we accumulated over the last year... So I have created a short movie of the best moments of Vinni recording his tracks... I hope you guys will enjoy it!

All Is Dust(First Album) released in 2006




Hey Icewinders!
 
What's up? Here's Jay taking sometimes to give you some hints about the Icewind situation.
 
Second album production is now completely done!!! Finally... :P We got the last mastering and we all think that's THE shit! Huge, clear and defined sound! Wooooow!!! Thanks to Luc Boivin (Red Tube Studio), Rodney Mills and Matt at Rodney Mills Masterhouse.  They put Icewind tone to a higher level and we wouldn't have been able to release a "bigger than life" album like that one without their precious help!  That's the best shit we came out with since the debut of Icewind a couple of years ago. More mature, more "in the face"... more of what Icewind is all about!
 
But don't worry, we won't boycott our old stuff!!! We still like All Is Dust as much as this new baby, but in a different way. AID as some killers and we'll continue to play half of that album live! As parents of 2 albums, we won't left the older brother alone!
 
A little word about the cover art... We asked Jan Meininghaus (Dream Evil, Falconer, Burning Point, etc.) to do the cover of our upcoming album... all I can say is that he just did what we had in mind!!! A masterpiece!
 
We have now started the hunt for a label. We aim a high quality label that will be able to distribute our album all over the world! We want that album in every fucking store of the MILKY WAY! Understand? We want each person that pronouces the "Icewind" word to have the album and shit all over the place! Not that we want to be rich or something... the most important thing for us, cheesy as it can sounds, is that we want you, the fans, to be able to get the album as easy as it should be... like my mother who goes to the store to buy a Celine Dion album... how does that sound?
 
And what does "selling albums" mean? It means that Icewind we'll be able to "world tour" and play in your neighborhood in every corner of this planet... We can't wait to meet you on the road and we'll do anything we can to make it happen!!!!
 
We know it's hard these days... Music business is free falling, but we have something big in our hands and we hope that the industry leaders we'll share our idea.
 
So, all said... I can't speak more for now... No title, no release date, no cover art, not even a tiny fucking sample!!! We will wait about the answer of the "big ones" and see what will be the different possibilies... We boil at the idea of showing you some stuff, but as the word "Exclusivity" seems to be more important than religion in that industry, we have to keep it top secret for now!
 
We know that you understand that situation and we are very thankful... Don't worry, Icewind won't disappoint you! You are all we have and we want to keep you in the adventure!
 
So keep enjoying All Is Dust for now!!! Those who don't have the album, follow the link to our IceStore... We will forgive you... as long as you push the "Buy" button!!!! :P
 
You are truly and sincerely the best fans a band can have! We all love you!
 
Keep Metalin'
 
Kissesxxxxxxx

Born in the middle of the 80's, when heavy metal was living the golden years. Raise surrounded by the gods of rock'n roll, his dream was to live the diamond years of heavy metal!!! Drafted after an outstanding live performance, he said yes to the question: ''Would you like to join us and rule the world?''. So here we are Icewind fans, I got a mission, you are the targets!

Our New Keyboardist Phil



Hello Icewind Fans!

 

I'm Philip, the new Icewind keyboardist.

I'm 25. I'm into music for almost 10 years now. I used to play in a Evanescence tribute band for 2 years. Then, in 2004 I started Wishmaster, a Nightwish tribute band and I still play with them. I have been an Icewind fan for a few years already and now I'm so happy to be part of the band. I'm so excited about the Icewind challenge, I can't wait to see you all !  I'm living the Icewind Dream and this dream will come true soon when we'll tour all around the world !  Stay tuned and see you soon !

Hey Icefans!!!
Jay and Gab speaking!


We're looking foward to our next concert! Only the second one with the new members. They did great the first time! They will be marvelous this time as they are getting more and more part of the family! (We are so lucky we found them!)

We hope Trois-Rivieres is ready to rock! Because we'll crash the place with the help of our friends Southern Cross!!!

Will you be ready when we'll come to your town???


Stay Metal!
Jay and Gab.



June 2, 2009 - Tuesday 

Our album is being mastered as we speak and with recording behind us, we
can finally turn to the fun part: concerts!

As you know, Icewind was down with 2 members, but we managed to dig out
two promising and talented members to complete the band and stir things
up. A warm-up gig in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu proved them to be excellent on
stage as well :)
Phil on keyboards and Mitch on bass guitar!

We took a photo shoot recently and as soon as we get the pictures, we will
post some online for you to meet the new members.

and also Jay's and Gab's new haircut :P

We already booked two concerts for the coming months :
June, 18 in Trois-Rivieres, QC
September, 5 in Sherbrooke, QC

We will take the summer to rehearse the new songs with Phil and Mitch.
Hopefully booking more venues for Fall and Winter in and outside Quebec.

Vinni
