10 February 1978 - Musikalsk gjestebud

From restaurant Zhivago in Oslo, the Norwegian rock group Høst - which from this day is called Ice. The group consists of Bernt Bodahl, bass, Geir Jahren, vocals, Halvdan Nedrejord, keyboards, John Hesla, guitar and flute, Willy Bendiksen, drums.

Formed in Knapstad, Norway in 1971 - Disbanded in 1978 - Reunited briefly several times for Live concerts

They were originally formed by two guitarists, a bassist, keyboardist and vocalist who indulged in hard rock. No sooner had they released an album than three members split, leaving the bassist and vocalist on their own. The two recruited three new members and released a second album of an entirely different sort. Failing to sell, however - and their record company balking at financing a third album - they tried to widen their audience by writing material with English lyrics and even changed their name to ICE at one point, but to no avail.

Their first release "På Sterke Vinger" is a hard rocker proggy, complete with dual guitars battling it out, pumping bass and the appropriate harsh vocals. Still a bit hard-edged, the second album "Hardt Mot Hardt" is much more symphonic, giving the keyboards a more prominent role as well as featuring flute and strings. It's a mixture of 70's hard prog with softer moments and a little local flavour (lyrics on both albums are sung in Norwegian). The vocalist is the same on both although he sounds much more convincing on the second album. There is also a live album, "Live and Unreleased", comprising material from three shows during 1975, 1978 and 1991.
