same as seemingly everyone else, Iron Maiden was my gateway, and my deepest love. but second upon the podium is Iced Earth. A band that I would not know, but also would not exist, without the seminal Maiden.
@nubirski I don't think he's more emotional than Matt, I'd say they have different ways of showing emotion while singing, but Tim was defintely a great add to the band when Matt left, they both are truely unique singers.
Schaffer and Barlow rule IE. Plus Matt's married to Schaffers sister how awesome ain't that? Barlows range in vocals is amazing and Ripper never had the emotional part that is needed for IE works. Barlow has it all; high-pitch, dark vocals, emotional vocals and power above else. He fits IE so perfect that nothing else compares to him. Ripper is good, but Barlow fits for IE-metal. Those who say that Glorious Burden was written for Tim is wrong, due to that the songs were written before Matt left.
barlows vocal range goes actually more in the lowers than the rippers does.. but barlows range in the higher notes are for his general vocal also incredibly high!
@myvidutube There are rumors thats says that Jon is going to make a comic series out of the Set Abominae Saga. It's going to be written by Jon and Illustrated by guys that worked with Spawn, but then again this is just rumors.
Ripper is actually pretty great , But I prefer Matt barlow. Saying that ripper has a bigger range is simply wrong. In addition Matt Barlow is THE signer for Iced Earth and this is a FACT !! (of course it'S not a fact :P but God ! His vocals are so
@mujuma i think it's also weird how comments about justin bieber could get under metalsongs on youtube :D the world's overflowing with stupid kids who like to give their worthless oppinions to every shit they slightly heard of -_-'' so annoying...
@YoGurtDale That i can't understand that? I just bought the first four Metallica albums because everyone and there mother says that even though the other half of there catalogue is terrible that they are masterpieces... besides Mustaines material, Metallica is a pretty below average band... how they even compare to bands like Slayer and Megadeth is beyond me, they have the most overrated Drummer and Lead guitarist in the genre and the best thing about there band died in the 80's =[
@krismason123456789 its not kirks fault hes overated and they are actually really good its just too bad you dont agree. by the way iced earth is the best band in the world. i just dont think this album is as good as the other ones
@karrazaki89 James' best work were just Mustaine rewrites 'Four Horsemen' 'Ride the Lightning' ETC ETC... James isn't that great of a writer (See black album to Death Magenetic)
Metallica is like everyones *first* metal band, and they just think its fucking fantastic, lawl, i honestly don't see it.
@krismason123456789 i would say slipknot is everyone's first metal band, because up until 2007 i had no clue the thrash metal metallica even existed, i had only heard the crap from st anger and load. and that's not a very good definition of "heavy metal", but then again, neither is slipknot.
@uniquesolo96 i'm agee with you the only album from slipknot i love is the first one the another ones sucks and they no have good solos, this new guy from iced earth is awesome
@crazybaseballdude12 It seems like it's natural to like Iced if you like Maiden. The first metal band I fell in love with is Maiden, and after that I tried to listen to uncoutable others, but no one was close to Maiden, until I found Iced. I love this band, but Maiden is no. 1 though ;)
Indeed it is. I haven't been listening to Iced Earth that long (about 6 months), but I became a fan of them quickly. I think the first song I heard was Melancholy (Holy Martyr). Iron Maiden will always be my all time favorite metal band, but IE will always be the best power metal band (as well as one of my favorite metal bands overall).
I heard Dystopia and though Stu is not as good as Barlow, he is still great. Horror Show will always be their best though.
i had a t-shirt with that picture on it from them, it was my favorite! but i gave it go my GF lthe night before i left to come back to NY cuz its a ldr. she loves it! and i love her! and i love the band too ! xD
@buddthumper Some time ago I had a chance to listen to their whole discography for a while, and this is the song i remembered the most, thus liked the most. So yeah, IMO this is their best song. The feeling while listening is just epic.
@zSliz1 yeah man IE is wayyyyy better. i wouldnt even say they're better than metallica. its a known fact. just like how an elephant is more mighty and majestic than a beetle/ant. thats pretty much IE and 'tallica. lol
i was about to get this album like 7 times now. But the damn people at the stores would talk me into used deals and all that. I feel so stupid that i wouldve passed up on such a great album so many times. I dont care what deals are there, im getting it next time!
He probably wrapped himself in some bandages, got one of those egyptian beard things, an Ankh staff, and proceeded to kick major ass while singing like Tim "Ripper" Owens.
Maybe not or maybe yes. . .people would like to say that the stuff they listen to doesn't influence them (which might be true) but in some cases it does but the effects are slow in coming and it might be many years before they become a different person as a result of their choices.
Yea...agreed... But still it is a story, part of a culture, even if we don't learn something from it we at least think a bit deeper into existence.
Thats what makes metal so great, we get to think. But if we take a band like manowar seriously we might just have to go to valhalla or something stupid

La llegada de matt le dio vida a le gripo otra ves.. pitbulll, tim.. eres grande judas .. te recordaremos... Iced Earth. no hay remplazo Viva HONDURAS
All the songs are good because Barlow is back and all is well. It reminds me of the old days when i iced earth was in my cassette player. I had stopped listening to iced earth when matt was away, just didn't sound right. A great mistake has been corrected!

Divide devour has the weakest vocals and lyrics on the track but the lyrics are still great and the vocals are still awesome but compared to every other song on the track it's the weakest
A song like this could have been a more appropriate finisher for the Set Abominae saga because it has a more epic sense in my opinion. Best song on the album, indeed. Anyone know the lyrics to the latin part with the choir? I can only make out "Diabolus" as the last line, if i'm correct.
What Burn Offering a dissapointemnt???--It's the album that made them well known--it's classic man,...don't speak nonsense!! Indeed Horror show was also great, but a step down from the first 4 albums. I don't like the mid-tempo songs of this album, not what I want from I E right now. You people are stupid comparing 2 great singers...Unfortunatelly the one has to compete with the guy who made I. E famous so...(previous album which I bought seems way better than this)
The reason why people say Burnt Offerings is a disappointment is because Jon isn't happy with it. Jon has made it very well known that Burnt Offerings isn't his favorite album and to be one of IE's worst in his mind.
Jepp, so says Jon. I personally think Burnt Offerings is their best album - that's how opinions differ :)
Really good song. That new album has a bit TOO much midtempo stuff though. Would have liked a little more divide and devour feeling on it. But the Harbinger really is a cool song.
Oh I agree. Burnt Offerings is a great album and Jon doesn't give it enough credit. I love the new album though, definitely a lot better than Glorious Burden.
Tim is a great singer and all, but Matt is the one who can do anything with his voice. He has a powerful emotional voice that can make you feel what he's singing.
But I'm not taking anything away from Tim. Tim is fucking awesome as well.
We haven't really seen what Ripper can do with his voice. In all honesty we've only seen him do one style and that is the Halford style.
But as I said, don't get me wrong, Ripper is a killer singer with amazing vocal abilities. Its just that Matt has more power in his voice, emotion, and can make you feel what the song or the character is about.
Songs like Creator Failure, A Question of Heaven, Dracula, Dantes Inferno, and etc are Matt's songs. No one can sing them like Matt.
lastsunrise1981 i agree even tho dantes inferno was a disappointment for me,thank god for dark saga after that,then horror show(best album ever) but the way i look at the last 2 albums is like this
tim-the voice of the human race
barlow-the voice of the setians
both sound awesome barlow has a more melancholic way of singing and lets u grasp the emotion of the song at fullest,BUT in the song hollow man tim does display he can do melancholic as well,barlow is just better at it they still rock!!
About the Tim Owens,he is the man,but honesty when I first time heard that Barlow leaving the band I was sad but Tim is also a powerful singer and Iced Earth is Iced Earth and albums whit Tim is kick ass,but when I heart that Barlow is coming back I was so happy but sad for Tim,I was hopping that they together sing sometimes
Ive been the biggest fan of Iced Earth for about 8 years and holy shit I am so glad that they have Matt Barlow back. He MADE Iced Earth what they are. His voice makes this power metal band so great. Agree? If your a fan u should. Hail Iced Earth. and if u guys like them you will like the guys they are on tour with right now. there called Into Eternity, very good mix of power and black metal
This is probably the most awesome song on the album. To be honest its not the best album, but it's the first back with Matt so that's ok. Has some good songs though, so you could get it if you're a diehard fan.
I am a die-hard fan and thanks for the advice. In a way, I could agree a little bit but most of the album is great with what I've listened to so far. My favorite song so far is Devour Devide along with A Gift Or A Curse. Still getting the album.

Oh I agree. Burnt Offerings is a great album and Jon doesn't give it enough credit. I love the new album though, definitely a lot better than Glorious Burden.

Burnt Offerings is a great album, but I'm going to have to say Horror Show is my favorite.

One of the top 3 songs on this album. A killer ending to the trilogy. Most people are completely underrating this cd. Classic!

last album was way better. tim reaper owens can do so much more with his voice

Tim is a great singer and all, but Matt is the one who can do anything with his voice. He has a powerful emotional voice that can make you feel what he's singing.
But I'm not taking anything away from Tim. Tim is fucking awesome as well.

really? , cuz i sort of think the opposite. its all point of view i guess

We haven't really seen what Ripper can do with his voice. In all honesty we've only seen him do one style and that is the Halford style.
But as I said, don't get me wrong, Ripper is a killer singer with amazing vocal abilities. Its just that Matt has more power in his voice, emotion, and can make you feel what the song or the character is about.
Songs like Creator Failure, A Question of Heaven, Dracula, Dantes Inferno, and etc are Matt's songs. No one can sing them like Matt.

lastsunrise1981 i agree even tho dantes inferno was a disappointment for me,thank god for dark saga after that,then horror show(best album ever) but the way i look at the last 2 albums is like this
tim-the voice of the human race
barlow-the voice of the setians
both sound awesome barlow has a more melancholic way of singing and lets u grasp the emotion of the song at fullest,BUT in the song hollow man tim does display he can do melancholic as well,barlow is just better at it they still rock!!

About the Tim Owens,he is the man,but honesty when I first time heard that Barlow leaving the band I was sad but Tim is also a powerful singer and Iced Earth is Iced Earth and albums whit Tim is kick ass,but when I heart that Barlow is coming back I was so happy but sad for Tim,I was hopping that they together sing sometimes

Ive been the biggest fan of Iced Earth for about 8 years and holy shit I am so glad that they have Matt Barlow back. He MADE Iced Earth what they are. His voice makes this power metal band so great. Agree? If your a fan u should. Hail Iced Earth. and if u guys like them you will like the guys they are on tour with right now. there called Into Eternity, very good mix of power and black metal

This is probably the most awesome song on the album. To be honest its not the best album, but it's the first back with Matt so that's ok. Has some good songs though, so you could get it if you're a diehard fan.

I am a die-hard fan and thanks for the advice. In a way, I could agree a little bit but most of the album is great with what I've listened to so far. My favorite song so far is Devour Devide along with A Gift Or A Curse. Still getting the album.
