all new "NP" thread -

Iced Earth - Overture for the Wicked

Meh. I really like the old albums, so I'd been hoping these guys would come back to shape with the sequel to Something Wicked. At least the new song sounds kinda OK (nothing outstanding though), but the remakes of the old songs with Ripper Owens on vocals plain stink.

the statement was originally political and i loathed it in a deep sense, but seen from another perspective i just want to melt into the song.
 
nice to see diamanda galas in this thread - i was just discussing 'io sono l'antichristo' with a friend and basically falling off our office chairs laughing.
 
:lol: I don't know why I didn't try that before.

Indeed. :lol: I got damn good at it, too, hehe. I actually can't listen to Rain anymore without thinking of the Assault map. The two just coincided way too often.

On the topic of the new album, though, it's pretty good. Well, it's very interesting, with a few pretty neat riffs and such, but again, it sounds rather repetitive. It'll need some more listens though.
