Lyrics: A Mean 318 Small Block Gasoline Dual Side Pipes, love at first sight double 7 evergreen painted flat black one coat roll 4 inch lift behold my 35's have 4 wheel drive now hear the engine roar I'm charging down the line Colossus beast divine Through time and space i plower at 90 miles per hour the battering ram a tower steam river class it stour now feel that v8 power triple six chuffed cab style wild child 12 inch speakers, bull horn squeaker red velvet, shiny chrome satanic pimp ass dome jump my wagon, ride the dragon into the sunset under the horns I.C.S Vortex The Blackmobile Track #1 of his first solo record Storm Seeker released August 22,2011 through Century Media Records Album information ICS Vortex describes "Storm Seeker" as "a tribute to the fall and rise of my kind. A generation of misfits, born of hippies and raised by Satan." Regarding the influences that went into the making of the album, ICS Vortex said, "Inspiration is usually drawn from the things that are close to me. I always write in code, it's often doom related, but never ever whiny. The power of the elements, obscure beauty, religion, death and junk are a few favorites. Knowing I am drawn to the power of the dark side, I decided to include lighter topics into the mix this time to separate 'Storm Seeker' from 'Sideshow Symphonies': 'The Blackmobile' about Mopar and 'Aces' about gambling are the result. Love songs, really." Commented ICS Vortex: "This song [The Blackmobile] was written way back when I still felt black metal was dangerous. Now, totally untrue to all that, it's a tribute to the only beast I ever loved." "Storm Seeker" will be released in Europe as initial limited-edition digipak, 180-gram LP and as a digital download. According to a press release, the CD "takes the musical elements from ICS Vortex's 10-plus years of experience with Dimmu Borgir as well as the legacy of the classic bands with whom he is still active (Borknagar, Arcturus, and Lamented Souls), topping things off with his signature clean vocals in order to make 'Storm Seeker' become a perfectly balanced axe, whether a song is cutting fast, or dicing slow." "Storm Seeker" features appearances by ICS Vortex's former Borknagar bandmate Asgeir Mickelson on drums and Terje "Cyrus" Andersen (Susperia, Dimmu Borgir) on some guitar solos. The CD was recorded at Toproom Studio (Mayhem, Tristania, Borknagar) with engineer Børge Finstad and mastered by Peter in de Betou at Tailor Maid Studio (Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, Dimmu Borgir) in Sweden.
