ICED EARTH HORROR SHOW G/F Blue 2LP

By naidoo | Published 03/09/2011

Upon hearing that Matt Barlow would be departing from Iced Earth for a second and final time, I was saddened. He really is the only person that could sing for that band. Even when Tim “Ripper” Owens joined the band on the Glorious Burden Album I was not impressed. I saw them twice in the 90′s with Barlow and 3 three times in the 2000′s twice with Owens and once with Barlow. I could not get into Rippers voice, it was to high. I hope I get to see them with Barlow one more time before he leaves. the_sound_of_metal is selling the double LP set of Horror Show. This album was epic when it came out. I love that Iced Earth does concept albums with story lines. They truly are one of last great power metal bands around.

2 Out Of 3 454 Big Block Records Ain’t Bad.

Sellers hauntedtownrecords and black-plastik bring us 2 records from one of the hardest bands to ever come out of Boston. Sadly, no one has a copy of their 2nd full length (and best record) Save Me From Myself available right now.

If I had to pick one of these to snag (and I don’t, since I already own and celebrate the entire catalog. I could use a shirt though…), I’d go with the 7 inch. The first lp tends to be a little more on the rock side in terms of production and song structure, and that sort of pales it in comparison to the intensity of the records on Big Wheel. The riff in My Father’s Eyes though… it’s a good one.

If you’ve never heard them at all, you can check out this video for the song Born Human:
