Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno Full Studio Version {Part 1}

[SecretWife56]

OK, my son is my authority on all things Metal! He suggested I would like this song and he is right! We were discussing Heavy Metal this evening on the phone and I told him Heavy Metal was Rock taken to the Extreme, combined with Classical Music and Opera, and he agreed with my analysis. And he is right, I do like this song. In my opinion Heavy Metal requires serious musical ability to play and is very INTENSE!

[metalhasmyballs2]

The new one sucks...

[dontiaedaivic]

i read the divine comedy also it was amazing although i had some trouble on the Latin :P ( also i kinda wish Virgil didn't leave after the inferno, i mean it made sense why, but still)

[MetaITV]

the live version kicks this in the balls!

[gogoroth21]

all together now Fish, cake, Aunt Froso in bananas

[rekabronairb1]

Dude says he loves iced earth. Take the first letter of each word and it spells lie. lol. I was turned on to these guys by someone that became a good friend of mine in prison.

[bloodguiser]

Holy shit, this song grabs my balls and forces me to FUCK SHIT UP!

[RisenToReclaim]

this is a fucking masterpiece!!! greatest band of all times

[Errvald]

He's joking u idiots...

[6The6Deathbanger6]

fuck! Now I know what the greek words mean and I can't take the song seriously -.-

[MrUntraditional]

My favourite part is from 6:26! True, Clear Metal!!!!

[pariskotsaros]

psaria,pantespani 8eia froso sa mpananes...tpt allo...Korufi

[Wolfyxxx91]

This is a masterpiece

[PePPerMint091]

awesome upload!! I've read dantes the inferno 12 times and workin on 13!! i fukkin love the book and this song too!!

[Neuffey]

3 people have never read Dante's Inferno

[bigbang328]

@Neuffey And apparently neither have you my friend, because the name is "The Divine Comedy" not "Dante's Inferno" =)

[perrottafamily1]

@bigbang328 *Facepalm* Dante's Inferno is the first part of the Divine Comedy.

[darkfullmoon91]

I for the recend

[darkfullmoon91]

I. was the 66,666 peson that view this.

[radioblueheart]

I hope Hell is this cool when I get there.

[Bitemasterforfun]

@yaspence how can you compare the gods slaye to just a good metal band iced earth!!who is the noob you noob?but what he tells is just shit...i dont aggre to iced is shit!they are really good

[LieutenantIDan]

I don't totally like this vocal style, but these guys are really growing on me.

[thepyrotechnician]

@metalhasmyballs2 I rip to pieces.

[bigbong600]

How can any one band be so amazing? :O

[garyheller55661]

What is sad is that probably only 1 out of 1000 of the people who like this song has actually read "The Divine Comedy" by Dante.

[despotalex]

@garyheller55661 I'm one of them, wooooo :D

[Stratocaster777]

@garyheller55661 I've played the game, close enough...

[GamerBoy1396]

Where's Dantes Purgatory? They Should make one i think

[bloodguiser]

WTF IS THIS SHIT? I TYPED IN SLAYER AND THIS SHIT CAME UP, WANNABE METAL BAND.

[iam3263466]

@bloodguiser hey boss if you don't like this song go die in the walls of death you fuckin poser. anyone who can't appreciate the sheer epicness of this song clearly has no right to live let alone comment on its greatness. I take solace in knowing that natural selection will no doubt come into play at any moment and cause you to choke to death on your own moronic tongue.

[Lukelo92]

@bloodguiser Sweetie, Iced Earth is as influential to metal as Slayer, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Panthera, etc. The fact that you haven't heard of them is just a testament to your lack of knowledge of the metal genre. Iced Earth, like Slayer, emerged in the 80's and was pivotal to developing metal as we know it. You don't deserve to get flamed for your comment because you're entitled to your opinion, but please don't be ignorant.

[yaspence]

@bloodguiser hahahahah slayer is balls compared to iced earth, learn your metal you fucking noob

[Bitemasterforfun]

@yaspence how can you compare the gods slayer to just a good metal band iced earth!!who is the noob you noob?but what he tells is just shit...i dont aggre to iced is shit!they are really good

[h31low]

@bloodguiser hope you have fun in the inner ring of the 7th circle of hell... Blasphemy to these metal gods!

[IronWolf82791]

@bloodguiser fuck you ya dumb ass piece of shit. iced earth is raw as fuck. not sayin slayer isnt but this is metal you close-minded fuck face

[reaperofgenocide]

@bloodguiser Of course you would call them a wannabe metal band. You probably only listen to slayer and metallica. Just cause you NEVER HEARD OF THEM their a wannabe band? Go listen to kayne west and lil wayne. Metal isnt for you if you think every band you didnt hear about is a wannabe metal band.

[metalbound7]

@bloodguiser lol, dude i love Slayer, but Icead Earth is way better.

[DeathRaiderMMT]

@bloodguiser lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololol NUB

[TheKnowing007]

@bloodguiser iced earth rules...you may now perish

[dragonclaw1986]

@bloodguiser You just decided your place on Dante's Hell... Have Fun!!!

[SimplyJosh]

@bloodguiser lol you're silly.

[GermanChocolateCake]

@bloodguiser Wow, too bad you're too incompetent to read or use a computer right. You might have noticed this wasn't the band you were looking for you inept meat blister.

[xaraslave]

@bloodguiser You have no clue what good metal is i think slayers rocks , but two different kinds of metal and iced earth kicks butt, as does his other band sons of liberty

[Middl3man33]

One of the best songs by Iced Earth.

Love it when the angels are yelling "HAA!---HAA!----HAA!" near the middle of the song

[jdavidcc7]

Nice fucking song, nice fucking book, and nice fucking game

[garyheller55661]

@jdavidcc7 Correct. Best epic poem in my opinion.

[ElgartheWise]

Too long and kinda weak intro, imo.

[trujilakos]

@ElgartheWise be serious...it may be one of the best intros in metal history!! :P

[MrTJOfficial]

This is probably the best song by Iced Earth

[Sonoko12345]

The book is epic and so is this song

[slavemachines]

I WANNA LISTEN TO THE FULL SONG DAMNIT.

[MegaMrDT]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE CHANTING AT THE END???

[tokeification]

this song would be better if it wasnt so long. too many parts and riffs that dont flow together and too many pace changes. its slow-fast-slow-fast-slow-fast too many times

[Jiggacake]

I love the high pitch solo riff. so bad ass

[cheepo888]

master piece

[666Bloodwar]

"Abandon all Hope, ye who enter here" ~ Dante's Inferno

[JayTor2112]

Someone should make a video of this song to a montage of scenes from the video game of the same name.

Check out the ALive in Athens version, puts this to shame.

[SweetOdinsRavens]

@JayTor2112 No. No. No. That game was the worst game ever. It brought GOW's genre to it's knees begging for someone to slay it quickly. It should just be left the way it is.

[tubofjoy]

@JayTor2112

I'm sorry, I have to say this. I don't mean any disrespect to you or anyone else, but the game totally messed up the original story of Dante's Inferno....just had to put that out there.

[ERICx223]

@tubofjoy so i assume you read the book?

[tubofjoy]

@ERICx223

Yes I did

[kookieless]

@benbottle i am gonna jizz in your mouth

[benbottle]

@kookieless Charming fellas

[Dasdyet]

OmG Buttsex

[FonzFactor]

This song pretty much changed my life when I heard it back in the 90's!! Damn it's been a while since I listened. I think I wore IE t-shirts for %90 of the next three years!! Glad Barlow is back on the newer cd's!!

[angelofdeth66]

3:15 OMG AWESOME!!!!

[benbottle]

I wish people would stop saying Jizz in every IE vid.

[epicwin770]

@benbottle jizz

[poptartninja00]

this song makes my ears jizz

[HallowEndGuy]

2 people got raped by dante

[GameChannelification]

ball sex

[TheAeroknight]

Truly an Epic, the songwriter was a complete genius in making this song.

[MusicFan1055]

Iced Earth's greatest song

[ThePainVendors]

whoever uploaded this song is a fucking legend.

[ThrashMetalGuy]

i can actually imagine what if either Judas Priest or Iron Maiden covered this song

[JohnEddieable]

this is a sheer masterpiece

[UnFathaMabLe]

wait wait wait.. where is the rest!?!?!?

[UnFathaMabLe]

Ah this song brings me back, memories of home......

[TheSatyricon11]

Traitors Freeze For All Eternity!

[bloodymarry667]

I listen to LOG and Slipknot and they are good in their respective genres you cant say that Iced Earth is better simply because they play a different style Iced Earth difinatly has better trained vocalists then LOG or Slipknot but as I said theyre in diferent genres Its like comparing Metal to Classical and Saying metal is better because it has louder guitars Metal and Classical are to respective genres music is interpretation it is different for everyone therefore you cannot say which is better

[TheSuperpowersguy]

this is preety cool i just heard about these guy how long have they been around?

[cam00099999]

@TheSuperpowersguy the 1 album iced earth came out in 91 but the where around before that under the name purgatory

[strNpwrKC]

@TheSuperpowersguy About 30 years

[Dottorius]

Instant awesomeness for being too long for Youtube.

[floatersnog]

primal fears Devils ground would be a great intro for this song

[AhoyJagan]

This band it's Far Beyond above Manowar, for me Manowar sux like hell

[strNpwrKC]

@AhoyJagan Two TOTALLY different types of music. That's like comparing an apple with a weed-whacker.

[theraf8100]

@strNpwrKC LMAO :)

[Gobloreclan]

Such a badass song. Iced Earth fucking rock

[Metalhead15712]

the movie and the game ruined the whole story. the song is the only thing that does a justice for the book, but the book is still way better than all 

[aeunuchsthroat]

Anyone know what's being chanted around 7:55. Sounds Latin but I can't hear for crap.

[metalhasmyballs2]

@aeunuchsthroat those latin lyrics arent true lyrics at all. they are just bullshit words that Jon Schaffer made up to sound like satanic latin lyrics. your guess is as good as anyones as to what they are.

[aeunuchsthroat]

@metalhasmyballs2

Well that sucks.

[FabioCereto]

@metalhasmyballs2 Yes, but you can't deny that in those random words they say "Satan Allepe" that comes from here "Pape Satan, Pape Satan, Allepe", and if you read the divine comedy, you know what I'm talking about.

[SweetOdinsRavens]

@metalhasmyballs2 Sounds like what he did with Damien

[0oIronMaideno0]

@metalhasmyballs2 i dont believe it, he spends ages on those amazing lyrics, im pretty sure he wouldnt make up words having studied the actual poem in order to write the song.

[mortvia]

@metalhasmyballs2 I'm going out on a limb here. I 'think' that he's trying to chant the gibberish that the creature Plutus chanted in the Inferno, "Pape Satan, pape Satan, aleppe!" It really did sound like that too me but either way it is still gibberish.

[IronWolf82791]

@metalhasmyballs2 its called gregorian chant. used to be the kind of music people listened to hundreds of years ago. personally i think it sounds bad as fuck

[JasoniGR]

@metalhasmyballs2

Indeed they are not latin lyrics. What it really says is a greek mantra which goes like:

"Ψάρια, παντεσπάνι, Θεία Φρόσω, σε μπανάνες" (x2)

A few people know this, since it is only stated in the lyrics of their Limited Collectors' edition album. I do own it, and additionally I am greek, so I can confirm this.

[xamosstoisiwma]

@JasoniGR Δεν παιζεσαι ρε παιχτη!χαχχααχααχαχαχααχα εκλασα στα γελια πρωινιατικα!

[perrottafamily1]

@JasoniGR I looked it up on Google Translate, the results were "Fish, cake, Divine Froso in bananas". O_O Is this correct?

[GNR4Alife]

@perrottafamily1 yes, its correct

[BWAAHHTayuya]

@JasoniGR what does it mean?

[celticwarrior222]

@JasoniGR What's the english translation of that man?

[Errvald]

@JasoniGR That's not true...nice joke though lol

[MrMethadrine]

@JasoniGR ΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΧΑΧΑΧΑΧΑΧΑΧΑΧΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ!!

[Perbear213]

@JasoniGR what does that translate to?

[patounboy]

@Perbear213 it is so satanic i can't even spell it

[beli577]

@JasoniGR what does that mean?

[mast0rrrchief]

@aeunuchsthroat Enter the circles,enter Satan's prison and then over and over again ;)

[LasPlumasRangers]

@aeunuchsthroat he says "Satan" backwards afew times (atleast it sounds like he does) i think.

[IcedEarth426]

Jon Schaffer has a new project called Sons of Liberty. Anyone who is an Iced Earth fan should check it out, it's awesome!!

[KyleJPie10]

@IcedEarth426 I don't really like it that much =/

[santoroyerdeantorcha]

@KyleJPie10 dude, why don't you get any inspiration out from this song? I think is masterpiece a very brutal song about hell.

[KyleJPie10]

@santoroyerdeantorcha Oh my... I didn't mean that at all lol. I was saying I didn't like Jon Schaffers "Sons of Liberty" album that much. But I LOVE this song.

[santoroyerdeantorcha]

@KyleJPie10 ho please forgive me I have been playing the dante's inferno psp version and listening to the song. I thought you were talking about the song. Everything cool :)

[berskerben]

this song is godly i recently became an iced earth and all over metal fan to be honest, i downloaded alive in athens on my ipod after it being recommended as my first album and just fell in love

[banmen0w]

This song is 200x better than the Dante's Inferno game. It actually does the poem justice.

[kylemasters]

i remember when i was 7 i heard this song back in 95' that was the first metal song i ever heard and basicly havent looked back since then. still kinda gives me shivers haha fucking wicked shit

[InsanePuppy11010]

This picture is in my copy of Dante's Inferno. I saw it and was like

O:

Lame story, I know. :|

[nawjuaw]

Every one bleow me. Metallica isnt posers. James had to go to rehab becuase he was rocking to hard. Besides iced earth is just as amazing. Welkl almost. But if you are going to argue. Watse your time in making a video of it.

[HitaroX]

@nawjuaw you realize how poser that sounds right? "Rocking to hard"..How hardcore.

[nawjuaw]

@HitaroX you get my point asshole. ANd in all honestly. Metallcia is beter then this band in every way. Dont reply back i wont even look at it.

[TheBigMac026]

@nawjuaw hey man, i love both bands. metallica is sick, but iced earth can kick metallica off the stage if they wanted to. just saying. these bands arent even in the same category. metallica is thrash. their new album is nothing like we all expected, its has some good lead parts, but way too long. at least when iced earth makes a good song, they make it awesome all the way through

[MetallHead9]

Why the FUCK is someone arguing about metallica in every metal video??? FUCK THAT, just listen to dantes inferno and comment about it, not metallica!!!!!!

[Metalhead15712]

if dante was still alive he would headbang to this song.

[Dyno247365]

This upload is making my Sennheiser headphones pop.

[predeturd]

@Dyno247365  then you need better headphones (or a new soundcard)

why the heck are you listening to metal on sennheiser heaphones anyway? get some ultrasones or grados

[smarty358]

oh ya this song is way better than rime of the ancient mariner

[MetalHeadAvenger]

not really

[lovemyverybestloving]

demonic and beauteful!

[XxblackndxX]

this song is freakin awesome and mekes me want to listen to this song while i play dante's inferno

[lamerbill]

around 5:00 sounds like metallica's one

[fuckgow]

not at all

[html4you1]

Great song! Still gives me nightmares though :S

[lamerbill]

arg who am i kidding...

im still right :D

[fuckgow]

cuz it doesnt at all sound like metallica ur a scrub

[lamerbill]

u r probably downright retarded, or have dick ear

just calm down, take the time to listen to Metallica One(name of song)'s guitar riff, and tell me what u think

[fuckgow]

i think u got cerebral palsy u pos u dont kno shit it dnt sound like that

[lamerbill]

so u r a doctor now?

ok buddy, just enjoy the song

[MetalHeadAvenger]

wait someone said this sounded like one by metallica, are they retarded

[lamerbill]

GOD WTF!

yeah that was me

ok first soak yourself like REALLY deep into Metallica's One(One is the name of the song, Metallica is an American metal band, duh). Listen to One's main riff, than listen to this song around 5:00(warning: NOT THE COMPLETE SONG), compare the two riffs, then you owe me money

cheers

[MetalHeadAvenger]

iv know who metallica is and i know about their song one, iv listened to it alot and i dont in any way why you think it sounds like this

[lamerbill]

ok whatever

[joeroker95]

the intro sounds a bit like call of kthulhu from metallica

[R4B1DW34Z3L]

how about throwing death magnetic into a fucking pit and then lighting it on fire.

pay no attention to this fool, metallica is poser metal.

[lamerbill]

metallica is poser metal?

seriously? i haven't notice that. Thanks

With your consent, may i quote you in my "Biggest Fucking Dumbass" online blog article? Man that ll be grand

[Dyno247365]

@lamerbill Not sure why you're hating on Sennheiser, but if my headphones pop, it's not their fault, it's the song. These work great for MOST of Youtube.

[Doom13371]

The solo is freaking amazing 3:15

[Manas10101]

This...is incredible! I love "The Inferno" and this song does it great justice ^^

[hrahn1995]

@Manas10101 do you mean "the inferno" as in the orchestral peice by Robert w. Smith? that is one of my favorite pieces i played it on sax and clarinet

[Manas10101]

Oh, no I meant the original poem. I've actually never heard of the orchestral piece before. I should look it up.

[comedygonewrong2395]

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

[blackhalo1223]

wait so this is jus sum random band

[leshracevil]

I'm surprised that this video has only 17000 views, given the epicness of this song. I've seen some stuff even in the more extreme metal genres with millions of views...Maybe because it's a USA band, this song is over 10 years old and no videoclip. Nevertheless it's certainly an awesome track.

[lamerbill]

holy shit this is over 10 years old!?

[leshracevil]

Yes, this album is from 1995. And no, definitely not just some random band. I meant it's an awesome track not like it's just another music posted on youtube, I meant awesome among the Olympus of heavy metal, where these guys belong.

[Funnythefluffy]

the most epic song for an epic

[OSU919]

Speaking as someone who has absolutely absolved himself in this music, and who is also a huge Iced Earth fan, this song is by far the most composed piece of metal I've heard. Putting out GOOD covers of this song and many other Iced Earth songs soon, keep watchin awesome metal! \m/ Iced Earth \m/

[Gumbo550]

their best song by far

[Ron323]

Fucking killer song.

I'm definetly getting the damn game as well.

[Dungarth]

..If modern day Killswitch Engage/Slipknot/Lamb Of God fans need to know what PROPER metal sounds like, always link them this video.
