Iceage have announced their new album For Love Of Grace & The Hereafter, set for release on 29th May via Mexican Summer.
The Danish band’s sixth record sees them return to familiar ground, both sonically and physically. The Iceage For Love Of Grace & The Hereafter album was recorded at Silence Studio in rural Sweden, a location the band last visited for their 2014 release Plowing Into The Field Of Love. The result, by their own admission, is a renewed focus on immediacy and instinct.
“The songs needed to be immediate, urgent, raw, and fast,” says frontman Elias Rønnenfelt. “We wanted to try to shed any unnecessary weight. Catching outlets of energy is what excites us the most.”
That intent was first signalled by recent single ‘Star’, and now continues with new track ‘Ember’. Built around a driving rhythm that pulls from rockabilly as much as post-punk, the song balances tension with clarity, Rønnenfelt’s vocal cutting through the noise at key moments.
Produced and mixed by the band alongside Nis Bysted, ‘Ember’ arrives with a video directed by Iceage and Ira Rønnenfelt, extending the group’s tightly controlled aesthetic into the visual realm.
Across 12 tracks, For Love Of Grace & The Hereafter leans into a stripped-back, urgent approach, reconnecting with the band’s earlier intensity while refining their sense of structure and momentum.
The album is released on 29th May.
