It was covered by [[Nine Inch Nails]] with [[Mariqueen Maandig]] during the [[NIN + QOTSA Tour]] and the [[NIN 2014 Japan Tour]]. 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> It is also one of four songs from ''An Omen EP'' featured on HTDA's first full-length release, ''[[Welcome Oblivion (album)|Welcome Oblivion]]''. 

This is the only known album version.It was the second single released for the EP, and features a prominent stringed instrument being plucked throughout. ===Ice Age (The Soft Moon remix)===This is a heavier version of the track, remixed by [[wp:The Soft Moon|The Soft Moon]]. It has a darker feel, with many additional elements added by the remixers. It was released on HTDA's SoundCloud on December 12th, 2012. ===Ice Age (deadmau5 remix)===This is a remix by [[wp:Deadmau5|deadmau5]], originally released through his personal SoundCloud account, then commercially on his album ''while(1<2)''. ==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. ===Credits===Directed by: John Hillcoat<br>Director of photography: Linus Sandgren<br>Edited by: Dylan Tichenor<br>Assistant editor: Chris Patterson<br>Analog VFX artist: Gunther Campine<br><br>VFX - The Mill<br><br>Executive producer: Sean Costelloe<br>Producer: Rachel Stones<br>Lead VFX: Corey Brown, Nathan Kane<br>VFX: Danny Morris, Burtis Scott, Tony Robins, Melissa Graff, Jade Kim, Dusty Diller, Randy Krueger, Kshitij Khanna<br>Colorist: Fergus McCall<br>Production company: Skunk<br>Executive producer: Shelly Townsend<br>Producer: Jonathan Pavesi 

'''''NOTE: THESE LYRICS ARE TRANSCRIBED BY EAR AND MAY BE INCORRECT''''' I find it looks the same, but everything has changed I find remembering gets harder every day Sometimes, I still believe who I pretend to be Sometimes, the little thingwell everything's exactly how it seems

I feel see the color of your eyes is has turned to graygrey
 I feel the wind is growing colder every day Sometimes, I open up the walls and disappear Sometimes, the crashing of the waves is all I hear

Ocean, oh, help Ocean
 Help me find a way Ocean, oh, wash Ocean
 Wash us all away I know that everything we did will come aroundaround
 I take the thought of you and burn it to the ground Sometimes, I'm I’m waiting for this ice age to arrive Sometimes, I the hate the in me that's is keeping me alive Ocean
 Ocean, oh, help Help me find a wayway
 Ocean
 Ocean, oh, wash Wash us all awayaway
 Ocean
 Ocean, oh, help Help me find a wayway
 Ocean
 Ocean, oh, carry Carry us awayaway
 Every day is getting shorter I can feel it coming ==External Links==*[http://vimeo.com/54507716 Music video]*[https://soundcloud.com/howtodestroyangels/ice-age-the-soft-moon-remix The Soft Moon remix]*[https://soundcloud.com/fuckmylife/htda-ice-age-deadmau5-remix deadmau5 remix]{{succession box | title=[[Welcome Oblivion (album)|Welcome Oblivion]] | before= [[Welcome Oblivion (song)|Welcome Oblivion]]| after= [[On The Wing]]| track= 5}}
