Azoic performs extreme music and hails from Iceland with members from bands such as Atrum, Offerings and Malignant Mist. Drawing influence from the extreme music genre it aims to express an impressionistic experience of the cosmos and it's connection to living things.
In 2012 the project released it's début album titled ''Gateways' which has gotten a decent praise from underground zines & blogs. The band started as a two man idea but later progressed to a more objective form, adding two members from Malignant Mist, making live appearance possible. The band is currently working on their second full length due to be released in 2014.
