Ice Exiled, a powerful force in the Finnish metal scene, offers a refreshing and heavy sound where melodies play a crucial role, seamlessly combining clean vocals and growls into a versatile whole.
The enchanting contributions of cellos highlight their musical identity, creating a recognizable sound.
Their lyrical themes vary, sometimes delving into societal critique and pessimism, and sometimes into more storytelling texts.

Finnish metal band Ice Exiled has released new single ‘Anthropocentrum (Set Me Free)‘ from their upcoming album, which will be released via Inverse Records on November 29th 2024.
A music video for the track has also been made.
“’Anthropocentrum’ takes its name from the Anthropocene, an era defined by a human footprint. The song places human perspective inside an animal. While another species’ experience is beyond us, we have no reason to believe that their feelings of pain, loss, or despair are in any way less than ours. These emotions, along with hope and love, are explored in this track through emotive and powerful music”,
the band says.
The music video was filmed in February 2024, directed by the band’s vocalist Miika Matilainen.
Two versions of the track were made:
the original, over 8 minutes long, and a shorter, four-and-a-half-minute version that follows a traditional verse-chorus-verse structure.
“These are like two different songs, both have their place and, in our opinion, work well. The longer version will be on our upcoming album,”
the band explains.
Formerly operating under the name Archares, the band changed its name in early spring 2024.
The name Ice Exiled reflects the band’s music:
freshness, heaviness, and a Finnish sound.
Along with the name change, the band’s lineup also underwent a transformation, now operating as a five-piece with a new drummer.
