Barlow left Iced Earth

[Ecstatic Youth]

says that 9-11 changed him and music is not where his heart is and wants to leave a great IE legacy and such. syas hes going back to school and wants to get a bachelors degree in criminal justice or something. yah, balls. i wana hear The Glorious Burden. i hope it gets released

NP: Opeth- By The Pain I See In Others

It is not going to be released for a while, because Jon has to find a new vocalist first. It's not surprising that this news is spreading very quickly, since Barlow is one of the most respected vocalists in Metal. I have already expressed how I feel about this and Iced Earth's future, so I shall just listen to how other's feel on this issue.

 

[Will Bozarth]

im speechless... that is all

 

[MetalHeadMarc]

I can't believe matt left. Falconer lost their singer Blad too. What next Warrel leaves Nevermore? It's a world gone mad!

 

[Captain Beard]

Warrel was co-creator, so it'd probably disband.

 

[Guerrilla]

Well all I gotta say is... FUCK YEEAAAAHHH!!! Fuck Iced Earth, hope they break up before they release any more albums, everything Jon does from now on is gonna be pure shit. Come to think of it they should have all died in a horrible accident before they recorded Horror Show, fuck them all they're all losers.

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Warrel better not leave goddamn it.

 

[Ikari-shirei]

That band's as good as finished now. I strongly doubt Jon will ever find another vocalist as talented as Barlow who will put up with his bullshit for any length of time.

Ah well.

This band Pharaoh will fill that void nicely.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

well there is a good thing that 9-11 made.
iced earth are dead since "something wicked this way comes"

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Well, I still have confidence in Iced Earth.

 

[Yetti]

well i have no real reason to listen to IE anymore

 

[BumZen]

I am a huge Iced Earth fan... still I am not that bothered with this.
I thought Matt was an awesome singer, but he can be replaced. I hope for either someone new, Jorn Lande or maybe Jon will do some vocals.
I certainly think the latter would be awesome.


I wish Matt the best of luck in the new path he have chosen.

Hey, Jon singing is a pretty good thought...it'd give him the spotlight he obviously wants, and force them to go back in a more thrash-oriented direction overall, as he doesn't have the voice for power metal. This could be a blessing in disguise.

It's so sad...

Yeah... Exactly what I thought.
But I still want them to have a singer who can do the clean vocals. I still want those.
They could do the same thing Mercenary did. They have a growler, and one who makes the high pitch screams. Pretty good mix imo.

This band Pharaoh will fill that void nicely.

OH YEAH... Tim Ayamar is still awesome. He is even better here than he was on the Control Denied disc.
I am also surprised with the guitar work from before unknown Matt Johnsen.
But the same counts for Nick Van Dyk from Redemption

Larry has left too Iced Earth

 

[Captain Beard]

Iced Earth are way too Patriot for me to take them seriously.

 

[MetalHeadMarc]

I can't believe you don't like Iced Earth because they are patriot and love their country. I'm patriot to. I hope that you would be patriot of your country. Wait a sec.....why do i sound like an idiot......Ohhhhh! I know what it is! I don't know how to use proper english because I'm a moron. I meant patriotic, not patiot. Sorry.

Well don't you know? Its always been cool recently to hate your own country, especially if you live in America.
