After the Moscow band Hostile Breed's activity stopped, its inspirer the guitarist D.Frans had the idea to launch a new, longed-for international project. Within two months the band membership both from Russia and Europe was settled. At the start of November, the band began recording their debut fullsize album recorded under the authority of the widely-recognized producer Jacob Hansen (Destruction, Mercenary, Raunchy etc.) in the Danish studio Hansen records.

During six months of working in many various studios within Europe and Russia, the work on the album was in a full swing. To help work on this album, many guest musicians were invited, including Steve Smyth (ex. Nevermore, Testament), Flemming C.Lund (The Arcane Order, Invocator) and Andy Solvestrom (Within Y, Evildoer, Cipher System). Eventually the album returned to Jacob Hansen to be edited.

In early July 2008 ICON IN ME played their first show with original material opening the Moscow show of the legendary Machine Head. After the perfomance, fans realise that ICON IN ME was the last hope for the Russian Metal genre. At the same time, the video for their first single was being shot, "That Day, That Sorrow".

Currently, the members of ICON IN ME are preparing for live shows while looking for a contract, which will enable their albums to be released all over the World.

ICON IN ME's current line-up:
Tony JJ - Vocal (MAN, Mnemic, Transport league, C-187)
D.Frans - Guitars (ex Hostile breed)
Artyom - Guitars (ex Безумные усилия)
Konstantin - Bass (ex Hostile breed)
Morten - Drums (The Arcane Order, Submission, Soilwork, Hatesphere, Scarve)

Moments
Icon In Me Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pre vers: Pretend and dissolve all what you did. Framing my whole in this game,
Face the deepest fears.

V.1 I clenched my fists, I tucked my loved ones, I surrender to none, strike, cause one is the beginning. I?ll find you stalking, I have you on my back, bleeding for the nameless, isolation ahead.

Pre: Eyes sees, Lies breeds, Eyes sees, within your dispelled soul x 2

CH: This is the moment of my life.

This is the second time I?ll be the one to blame.
Revealed and discovered the truth, it hurts me right to the marrow of my bones.

V.2 Try to blend the strengths, try set things straight, every second is a light year.
Me is the enemy right here, vast is beyond your control.

Pre: Eyes sees, Lies breeds, Eyes sees within your dispelled soul x 2

CH: This is the moment of my life.

This is the second time I?ll be the one to take the blame.
Revealed and discovered the truth, it hurts me right to the marrow of my bones.
