[…] Bloody Ice was the moniker for German musician Eini, who co-founded Placebo Records in 1993 to release his own recordings. The label is also responsible for the amazing New Dimension 12” (which has since disappeared from the blogosphere). This appears to be the only Bloody Ice release, though “Dying in Arms” also appears on the Nyctalopia Compilation from the same year and an “Intro” track appears on To Be Stun, a CD compilation. Eini was also involved with Kabelbrandt, who were even less prolific. You can find a track of theirs on Strange Sounds Vol. 2. […]
