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 Iceburns' own label in 1998.

These seven pieces are intended not as finished goods but as components to be superimposed at will, according to a principle derived from quantum mechanics. The group experimented with the music as collage at their subsequent live dates.

The Power Of The Lion is Iceburn at their most electrifying. They simultaneously fuse influences as diverse as Eric Dolphy, Drive Like Jehu, Ornette Coleman The Mahavishnu Orchestra.
