Iceburn "Firon"

FIRON... Iceburn's first LP. Iceburn, if you didn't already know, was a band from Salt Lake City that was formed out of the ashes of Straight Edge heavyweights INSIGHT. Prior to this LP, Iceburn put out the unreal "Burn/Fall" 7", which is available in every used bin in North America. No joke. While the Iceburn many people know is described as "avant-jazz-core-fusion," the "Burn/Fall" 7" and "Firon" lie more on the hardcore side of the tracks. At this point in the 90's, a lot of bands were trying new things. Some of it sucked a dog's dick, ie that Token Entry LP that sounds like RHCP without talent. Some of it, like "Firon," was heavy, passionate, and blew down the walls in terms of expectations and "hardcore" tastes. Rather than falling flat, these songs groove and hammer with the best of their contemporaries. By the time Iceburn surfaced on Revelation, they were busy tuning oboes and sticking their dicks in french horns. What a waste. I guess the 'Burn did a reunion in 2007 in Salt Lake, but I didn't go, nor have I heard from anyone who went. I have a feeling that if there were more than 5 musical instruments on stage, it was about as entertaining as heartburn. Anyway, here's a link to the zip file of the "Firon" LP. I'd suggest putting this on after a double dose of Promethazine for added effect.
