albums recorded in all three studios on the premises. Greg Gordon engineered the sessions with Bradley Pike assisting. All of the songs were tracked live as a group to analog tape. Overdubs and mixing were completed at Joe Cardamone's home studio in Highland Park, California. As he had never engineered his own mixes, the final product was unpolished and exploratory. This attempt polarized critics; some criticized the record for sounding unpolished, while others applauded the album's intuitive nature. The first single, "We Sick" was released on February 23, 2010. Annie Hardy from Giant Drag is featured on several of the tracks on Wildlife, and also appeared on organ for some of the Los Angeles live performances surrounding the record release. Ariel Pink is also credited as making "Baby Noises" in the liner notes. 2011–2015 After the release of Wildlife, the band minus James Striff and Jeff Watson embarked on a world tour for most of 2012, touring with Killing Joke. Lance Arnao, the group's original bass player, reemerged to join the group for the tours and to record what was to become the Live in London LP. Jeff Watson was also replaced with Ben Hallet on drums. Following the UK/European tours The Icarus Line returned to tour the US with The Cult, culminating in a sold-out homecoming show at the Hollywood Palladium. In late 2012, Joe Cardamone, Alvin DeGuzman, Lance Arnao and Ben Hallet began the writing process for the next yet-to-be-titled full-length LP. New songs "Salem Slims" and "Junkadelic" were featured in the 2012 live performances. In August 2014, the band released their seventh full-length album, Avowed Slavery. In October 2015, the band released their eighth full-length album, All Things Under Heaven. After DeGuzman was diagnosed with cancer, and becoming disillusioned by touring with Scott Weiland, Cardamone quietly left the group at the end of 2015, pursuing a solo career. DeGuzman died in October 2017 after a two-year-long cancer battle. In media The Icarus Line were the subject of the 2018-released independent feature film The Icarus Line Must Die, directed by filmmaker Michael Grodner. The film, released by Dark Star Pictures, stars Cardamone as himself, and features musicians such as Keith Morris, Ariel Pink, and Annie Hardy (Giant Drag).
