Matt is my favourite singer, but I like also Owens, The Glorious Burden and Framming Armageddon are great, but the 90s classic are the best in my opinion. I am a little sad that Matt must leave the band again, but i want to hear the upcoming Dystopia, let us see what is John Schaffer preparing for us.
Iced Earth is one of the most underrated metal bands I know. These guys have contributed to the metal scene with very traditional and yet unique and fresh material for years. If you never heard of them listen to or watch their live performance in Athens to songs like "Pure Evil", "Stand Alone", "Violate".
If you like this CD... get into all of them... great, consistent band... Days of Purgatory is a combination of their first two albums and with Barlow, instead of the old singer. Every album is f'n sick.
As much as I agree with you on how awesome Iced Earth is, I'm not sure if I agree with how you're advertising. These last two albums were pretty light compared to older IE albums. I mean, come on, Domino Decree had a keyboard solo.
im loving this album and the return of barlow the god,
but i have one minor problem with this album and that the fact that in my opinion they overdubbed matts voice alittle too much, its dubbed to blind guardian levels and barlow doesnt really need that,
his voice is so powerful a high and a low harmony is all you really need, not the million voices at once thats happening her,
but thats just a small flaw, on an otherwise top notch album
He doesn't need it, and they did it a bit too much. But there's a few times when they only do it once at the peak of a verse or chorus and fuck if it doesn't sound epic.
First thanks to AOL Radio for intro me to ICED EARTH. Wonder why terestial radio doesn't play them. Good stuff, will add to my fave's. Kinda tired of thr disco, rapping country rednecks who comment & do not enjoy this & similar styles of tunes/videos. DON'T critize, join a band & do your own stuff! I enjoy Sabbath, Mauden, Megadeth, Metallica, etc. Enjoy or LEAVE!
MTV just plain fuckin sucks. Its been taken over by rap and that nu-metal punk shit. it wasnt cool to watch since headbangers ball in the early 90s. No talent these days. i don't even consider rap takes any real talent to perform. its not even music compared to,like say, this song.
@hellsfireD31g I don't listen to rap but you should at least acknowledge that there are skilled rappers that take time to very carefully select their words and incorporate themes.
@danukenator123 That's known as hip - hop, and every single talented rapper is underground, all mainstrean "rappers" don't even write their own lyrics lol
@danukenator123 Emminems early stuff was good....I still think he is, he's better at pacing than most others at any rate. But recently his music sounds like a description of any page off Rotten.com
@MetalxXxMayhem i removed it myself , because i know it's a waste of my time to go back and forth with people who listen to crap then real music and can't tell the difference .
@jimischild13 And yet you don't consider it a waste of time to tell other people what to like? Music is subjective, and you're an idiot. I like rap, get over it. Not that mainstream shit either.
i dont really listen to power metal but this is pretty sweet. i like the song the revealing. Isnt the lead singer for this band also in judas priest and with yngwie malmsteen or an i thinking of someone else?
i just recently found out about this band...and i have to say..i usually do not listen to this kind of metal..but this is sick...its absolutly amazing....top notch metal right here..
Yea...the Alive in Athens thing was blazing! I still do listen to old songs :) but whatever Iced Earth does, it's worth listening...and HEADBANGING! ;D
I was not saying that it sucks. Hell I am glad its not MTV. Metal can stand on its own. I was merely replying to XYZmachina's comment that Ice Earth is supermnarket metal for low I@ people. Thrash til' Death!!!!
Theres no such thing as super market metal, because metal heads are far from being a "super market". Well...maybe a bit on Europe, metal is big there.
You think I haven't listened to Backyard Babies? That's all I did in the fifth and sixth grades, but then I realised there are much better bands out there. Don't go assuming stuff like that.
But I do agree on Maiden/Megadeth/Metallica, never liked any of them really. The majority of what they've done is lacking in the creative department, even though they do deserve their spots as legends because of a few albums.
dude this isn't supermarket metal this is aband that is comparable to legends like maiden, priest, metallica, sabbath and many more. so just shut the fuck up if u dont like it dont listen
When they will be playing these songs in the concerts the fans will be sitting on their chairs and listening??? Good song-songs but such an album would never make me wanna headbang like when they first came in Athens after Dark Saga.. (ok that was 11 years ago I know-call me a old timer!) + in mellody - in energy and power
damn fuck u iced earth is the best iced earth and blind gaurdian are bad and demons and wizard and also Pyramaze fuckin true power metal \M/ fuck all that weak shit
he does it a lot anyways...from youtube it seems to me this album is weaker than the previous despite Matt's voice and guts...I thought maybe it's me or the fact that I'm tired of metal...I just don't feel it..(Ice T) Then why when I listen to Trivium I feel something? I wan't another travel in stygia or pure evil...in that way songs...I am a hardcore fan and I'm gonna think alot about buying the album. listen to LOST HORIZON's "Welcome back" song - best metal song ever!!!!!
It may well be that you're just burning out on metal. Hearing Matt ripping it again pumps me up. One way to keep listening to metal without burning out that desire for metal is to expand your musical taste.
I will always love metal, but I've branched out to post rock and some other things. This is my counterbalance, it calms me, helps me think and sleep. Check into Red Sparowes, Steve Von Till, Russian Circles. Anything to get you in a different (but equally good) mental state.
@macktherocker666 Correct Mack, though schaffer can be heard on more tracks since he is taking a lot of the background vocals for his bill. Like this one :)
Again, dude, super that you combine what should be combined, a true Metalhead :D
@ mtr666; so ur saying yur too lazy to do what u love?
- man, I sure dont envy yur sex life! :D
Thanx for the song.
