Boston progressive thrash metal outfit Ice Giant have released a new single from their upcoming studio album. The new track, “Grandeval’s Machine”, is the third and final lead-up track before the release of the band’s long-awaited sophomore studio full-length, Ghost Of Humanity.

In addition to the album, Ice Giant will join forces with Atlanta prog-metal explorers Scorched Moon for nine shows in the month of September – beginning in their own hometown of Boston with a record release show at The Middle East on September 8.

Speaking on “Grandeval’s Machine”, the band shares:

“'Grandeval’s Machine' unveils a futuristic Earth overwhelmed by war and global climate crisis. Amidst fire and destruction, a bio-mechanical plague rises and binds itself to the flesh of Earth's population. This song sets the stage for the full concept of the Ghost Of Humanity album by showcasing the ending of human society if we continue down the wrong path.”
