During the Iceburn era, Densley became friends with Greg Anderson; Iceburn released a split e.p. with Anderson's group Engine Kid before Anderson formed of Goatsnake and Sunn O))). The pair later collaborated in the experimental doom metal project Ascend.
In 2007 Densley formed Eagle Twin, who released their debut on Southern Lord Recordings in 2009.[3]
