Iceburn was a musical group formed in 1991 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, by guitarist / vocalist / composer Gentry Densley, the sole constant member through multiple personnel changes. They were known for their unique style that combined elements of jazz, metal, punk, and classical music.

From 1991 to 1997, the band continually evolved and experimented with the limits of sound, releasing five full-length albums and a split EP with Engine Kid (featuring Greg Anderson of Sunn 0))) and Ascend) for Revelation Records. 'The Power of the Lion' features the Iceburn collective using two electric guitars, two stand-up basses, and drums.

The seven pieces that make up 'The Power of the Lion' were originally released on CD on Iceburn's own label in 1998. They simultaneously fuse influences as diverse as Eric Dolphy, Drive Like Jehu, Ornette Coleman, and The Mahavishnu Orchestra. On Southern Lord.
