I assume that is "Amvic", but you also left out a noun. What is the ceramic "the" you are installing?

If you plan to install tile on the walls, you can skip the drywall but do use cement backerboard behind the tile.  Since the ICF will be continuous, you can use the thinner backerboard and save some money and weight.  However, thicker backerboard should be used behind tile on stud walls.
