Tim Owens is such a pain in the ass. He'd be good if he'd tone it down a couple notches.

I feel like Charred Walls of the Damned shouldn't have sucked, yet somehow he managed to pull it off.

Perfect example. Sometimes he just needs to sing normally.

He's a very hit and miss singer. One album he does is awesome and another is fucking terrible.

I didn't know Richard Christy was in a new band, though, that's cool.

On a side note Jon Schaffer is a massively underrated guitar player/song writer. I pretty much love anything he touches.

Iced Earth will always have a special place in my heart. :3

I saw that they're playing at 70k Tons of Metal. Good to see that they're back in action. I'm curious if Jon has any material ready for a future release. [I]Framing Armageddon[/I] and [I]The Crucible of Man[/I] weren't bad or anything, but a lot of the same riffs were recycled over and over again, and I know that was because it needed to fit into the theme and the whole storyline, but it got boring after a while. I'd like to hear something fresh.

Btw, I listened to the new Helloween and yeah, I can clearly hear the Disturbed-ish sound. Didn't like it at all.

So Manowar is re-recording Battle Hymns. Guess that kinda puts a halt on their journey through every figure in Norse mythology. At least it won't be as bad as Gods of War.

it's already out actually

I love how his reasoning for re-recording it involves current technology allowing it to be louder

ugh christopher lee

Does it sound "different"?

all the tracks are on youtube

not worth it

Ahh, I'll have to check em out. I don't think it's been officially released yet. At least their website doesn't start shipping them out til Tuesday.

Weird, Amazon says it comes out February 1st.

amazing how eric's voice has held up though, he has to be pushing 50 at this point

It's out digitally, they're spreading it in a few different formats over a few months. Hopefully this re-release means they'll tour it and do Battle Hymns front to back.

the last tour of north america I think was like 6 years ago I think, hopefully they do a few dates

Yeah, it's only released as a digital download atm, you can't actually hold the power in your hands til February.

The power of true metal is impervious to the hands of time.

Dude, Christopher Lee kicks ass.

And yeah, Eric's still got it. One of my favourite power metal singers.

Christopher Lee sucks ass, at least in terms of music he's involved with. He went from a cool little novelty to an irritating old man that won't go away.

actually was listening to some helloween awhile ago. good stuff

magic of the wizard's dream owns. no care about any other christopher lee related music

well he's on the new manowar re-recording which is why i brought it up

yeah, I know just stating my opinion on his music

stupid effects for his voice was lame, but idk did the voiceovers alright, can't match the originals but who can

Saruman would not be pleased if he still had his palantir and saw your posts in it.

He's no Orson Welles.

Ressurected Just to say that Andy B Franke is metal as fuck ... Only now discovering Brainstorm

Just ordered Iced Earth's [I]Festivals of the Wicked[/I] DVD. Three live concerts and a documentary. Gonna be sweet.

I know nobody cares about power metal anymore, but I just wanted to post this.

Sounds like they sort of went for the [I]Horror Show[/I] era sound here. It'd be great if that'll be the general style [I]Dystopia[/I]. This is a really good track, imo.



Also, they recently re-recorded Dante's Inferno and it's face-meltingly awesome.

the dante's inferno re-record was a giant waste of time imo

new song is alright, there are dead periods in the song which can't be carried through just holding a chord, but it's IE

wish Ripper was on this album though, sounds like something he would kill
