TRAPPED UNDER ICE came together as a group in Baltimore, MD in 2007. Shortly after, the band released a five track demo, which was also released as an EP on Flatspot Records. After hearing the demo songs, the crew at REAPER RECORDS approached the band with a deal to release what would become known as the Stay Cold EP in April 2008, a record that some say marked a milestone in the evolution of contemporary hardcore. The band then went on to tour in support of the EP with their brothers in armsTrash Talk, and later with The Mongoloids, The Carrier and Bitter End.

Continuing where the Stay Cold EP left off, the band released their 2009 full-length debut, Secrets Of The World, a twelve track beating that is considered by many to be the top hardcore record of that year. Recorded in early 2009 by Dean Baltulonis at The Wild Artic studio in Queens, New York, frontman Justice took a super personal approach, using his life experiences as an allegory to the decaying urban society surrounding him. After the release of the album, the band toured in Europe with Terror and Born From Pain, and later joined IndieMerchStore.com’s “10 for $10 Tour” with Poison The Well, Madball, Bane, Vision Of Disorder,Terror, Death Before Dishonor, War Of Ages, Crime In Stereo, The Mongoloids, and This Is Hell.

The band plans to hit the road on a United States headline tour in the fall to support Big Kiss Goodnight. Stay tuned for upcoming details about tour dates.
