This song is not based on the Andrew Lloyd verion of The Phantom of the Opera. This Album of Iced Earth is based on all the original horrow figures. The old Wolfman, Im-ho-Tep and all of those so does the Phantom. The Phantom is never called Erik in any of Andrew's versions. He's called Erik in the 1925 version.
Yep Jon did his homework cuz the stories are really close to the originals. :)
I hate it when people hear a heavy metal song and actually notice the drumming. Seems like such a waste, considering what all the melodic musicians are doing.
That being said, this is one of my favorite Iced Earth songs, the best Phantom related song ever, and a beautiful video. Very well done!
It's called over-dramatic effect. He also gets extra deformations on the lower half of his face, which weren't there before. Erik is still awesome. He should've won Christine. A good video, too.
you notice he didnt win her because she is shallow. :l she didnt want to be with him cas of how he looks. or at least thats what i got from it. please correct me if im wrong on that.
In the movie, yes, but in the original novel, she leaves him because she sincerely does become frightened by him and does love Raoul, but she loves the Phantom as well. However, when she kisses him, he lets her go, because he does not want to trap her with him in his hell. Erik still loved her more than Raoul, though, so I think she should've stayed with him... But that's just me.
This is awesome! Love the movie AND the song. Great job! :)

Just my opinion, but this video is about 100 times better than the movie. Great job! \m/ ICED EARTH \m/

I love Iced Earth and this song, but what does he mean by "Carlotta's Head"? I didn't think Carlotta dies,,,,
dragonofblood 2 years ago
I think he intended to kill Carlotta if he had to, anything so that Christine could "have [her] night in the spotlight"
While he didn't actually do it, he planned to.
FFQueen92 2 years ago
I think he cut off Carlotta's head in the horror version with Robert Englund. That might be what he's referring to.

I think this song should have been adding to the movie, this was in my opinion one of the best songs about the story I've ever heard.
