Iced Earth - Birth of the Wicked - Barlow - Ripper - Duet

My latest custom I.E. song Birth of the Wicked featuring Matt Barlow & Tim "Ripper" Owens!!! Hope ya dig it!!! ICED EARTH RULES!!!

Daylight breaks hard on sacred ground
For centuries we've questioned them of His birth
But in this hour, on this day, The Elder knew
Years of madness must now subdue
Order must be enforced to hide the truth
Cause on this day, in this hour it's coming true

Child of the wicked and ancient man
Baptized in black magic, their master plan
Born of the Watch, his prophecy, by their command

Concieved of the beast and the stars above
will shape and guide him with undying love
born of the watch the sands of time by their command

So, behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end

It's up to us now to seal his fate
Marked with the proper math the child's none too late
Blessed by the Beast, our Chosen One was born this day
He'll rise from the ashes of our dying race
Manipulate history, time and space
The Elder, Men of the Watch, professed this day

So, behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end
Behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end

this isn't a duet, these are two songs played from time to time

[RaphKittyKat]

Well this is fan made, and it's more like wishful thinking then anything else.

[grimrazziel113]

Barlow's version is far better

[RaphKittyKat]

A matter of opinoin aye, but your entitled to it

[Darkproducer]

Dude, Barlow ALL the way. He OWNS this song, as well as the entire "Something Wicked" album.

[RaphKittyKat]

And i agree, but i don't think Ripper did such a bad job singing them either as some have accused him of doing. And it's obvious that Schaffer agrees, seeing as how he's a perfectionist, and Iced Earth's greatest musical critic, and constently re-recording Iced Earth tunes.  i don't think he would have had Ripper redo the vocals if he believed Ripper was doing a bad job. And you have to agree that the music sounds much better then it ever did.

Fuckin great! Barlow is Iced Earth, but how can someone not love the Ripper?

[Xyron1987]

Great job man... bt the way it is obvious that ripper is not bad in this song... he is a professionist! But matt sounds ten times better because this song like the others were written for him... framing armageddon instead fits perfectly to ripper voice

[LazsloPanaflex]

What this video highlights more than anything is how bad the production of Owens-era Iced Earth was. So powerless and tinny. It's a mystery why they recorded this way with him then went back to a beefier sound when Barlow returned.

[pumping2]

Both are great singers BUT BARLOW IS THE VOICE of Iced Earth there is some magic in his voice that when you think of Iced Earth immediately associate to him

[SGZ12]

@Xyron1987 nothing but the truth man something wicked is made for Barlow as framing is made for Ripper \m/

[jarolz]

@Darkproducer you are right man.. Barlow i miss him for real... , Ripper grate singer , but not in the band anymore , we will see with this into eternity guy

[SweetOdinsRavens]

Can you make a coming curse video like this but have Matt start and lead? That would be the greatest thing ever

[dharcoon]

Man, Barlow is the wicked child. Owens was just a mistake in this band.

[dharcoon]

@seven88dragon Totally agree with you, man.

[seven88dragon]

Ripper doesn't fit to Iced Earth, although he is a great singer.... but Matthew Barlow, man hes got that special voice :))

[pumping2]

Ripper is a great singer but the voice of Iced Earth is Barlow forever

[bashenbrian]

i'm looking for the song iced earth iced earth w/the ripper on vocals is it out there?
