 For their first few years and albums, Iceburn were, for the most part, a classic "power trio" of guitar, bass guitar and drums.Around 1996, with the release of "Meditavolutions", a 70-minute continuous piece in the form of a musical palindrome, the band began to go by the name the Iceburn Collective, to reflect the dynamic nature of the group's membership.The lineup expanded with a saxophonist, percussionist on conga drums, and a second guitarist.
