}}'''"Ice Age"''' is a song by [[How To Destroy Angels]] from their second release, ''[[An Omen EP]]''. In a [http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/134vgv/i_am_trent_reznor_of_nine_inch_nails_and_how_to/c70t69v Reddit AMA], [[Trent Reznor]] talked about the track <blockquote>Thank you. We were experimenting around with the juxtaposition of something familiar and almost folky sounding sitting in a very cold and sterile environment. Mariqueen had this melody that would have been happy living in a Fleetwood Mac record, and we created this plucky accompaniment that sounded acoustic but was anything but. Then we put all that in the freezer. The full record expands the boundaries of the EP a bit more.</blockquote>

==Music video==
The music video for the song premiered just after midnight on 28th November 2012, and was the third video released for ''An Omen EP'' (the former two both being for "[[Keep It Together]]"). The video takes places mainly inside a log cabin built inside a rapidly freezing landscape. It begins as a predominantly performance video, with all four members of the band appearing. As the video progresses, visual distortions, similar to the VHS distortions used in the promotional art for the EP, start to form over the image to give the effect of tape damage, later combined with the effects of CRT monitor distortion. The video progresses to showing "home movie" images, with all people in the footage being blacked out, with the video distortions getting more and more pronounced. The video closes with the room freezing over.
