I've only got the Glorious Burden. I used to like it a fair bit, I never listen to it now. From what I've heard of the other stuff, its really good, but I've just not investigated it yet...

If you get the debut ignnore the vocals on the first track, they're better on the demos than the album but the rest of it's really good.

Their cover of Screaming For Vengeance is incredible.

Can't stand the vocals on the first album. Some great riffs on there though. Colors especially.

I'm partial to the title track. Great riffs.

Perhaps you mean the album Night Of The Stormrider, of which Angel's Holocaust is the opening track?

Oh fuck, I just got totally pwnzlolzord!!!

Yeah, I suck at doing that.
I suppose I could have done worse and said, "the one with the horse on the front". Haha

Well at least that would have been accurate.

Mmm Hmmm!

Matt Barlow slays that track on Alive In Athens

I think The Ripper has a good voice, it's just TGB is a pretty dire album thanks to Scaffer's bumming of his country. The new EP is pretty good, I like the rerecorded versions of the Something Wicked trilogy. Roll on Wacken!

The new Metal Hammer has a huge Iced Earth double-sided family tree/new album cover poster this month.

NO FUCKIN WAY!!!! That EP is fucking shit, the guitars sound limp, the vocals are weak, the production is fucking shocking and the songs just sound crap... what a waste! They could have at least tried to make it good!!!

Iced Earth is one of my favourite bands, but I have to agree with what you just said, I was proper disapointed with it, the new track is pretty good I thought, but they completely ruined the SW trilogy. I just hope they fix it up for the new album so it sounds better.

I gotta wait til November to see them at Wembley

Aw man, great performance at Wacken, but poor choice of songs! Next time they play they should get the Night to Remember headliner
