Barlows return

[BlueSky]

that's right ladies, read it and weep!

Former ICED EARTH frontman Matt Barlow has reportedly joined Danish metallers PYRAMAZE as the replacement for Lance King. The news was revealed in the brand new issue of the German magazine Rock Hard, which features an in-depth interview with Barlow and a short question-and-answer session with PYRAMAZE guitarist/songwriter Michael Kammeyer.

PYRAMAZE split with Lance King last November due to "personal and professional reasons." The group is currently working on material for its third album, tentatively due next spring.

Saw this on the Deth boards. The article is so horribly translated I couldn't finish reading it.

It's awesome that he's coming back. But not with Iced Earth... Ah well. It'll be great to hear him sing again.

Pyramaze? Never heard of 'em. Well, I hope Barlow shows the entire metal scene what-for.

 

[Lunar Still]

I've never heard them either, but hearing new recordings of Barlow is going to be worth picking up the album....especially without Schaffer's recycled riffs and one-dimensional lyrics.

 

[El Stormo]

"Recycled riffs"? "One-dimensional lyrics"? What do you speak of, good sir?

 

[Lunar Still]

lolz

Yea Iced Earth, or rather Schaffer, hate has become almost trendy nowdays. Pyramaze is pretty damn awesome, check out Legend of the Bone Carver.

 

[Lunar Still]

Haha. Seriously though, listen to "I Died For You" and "Melancholy (Holy Martyr)" back-to-back. Actually, listen to the first few songs of both The Dark Saga and Something Wicked back-to-back.

By the way, this is coming from someone who absolutely loves The Dark Saga and Horror Show.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Yes, its true Barlow recycles riffs, I can think of quite a few bands that do. As long as the songs continue to kick ass I will be content though.

 

[El Stormo]

There's more songs like that. Listen to Wolf and Jack - some very poorly-veiled riff recycling there. That same riff comes back in a third Horror Show-song, but I can't think of it right now.

Wow, this is awesome to hear. It's going to be weird seeing him without the hair though.

OMG... Barlow in Pyramaze?

Lance King was good... but OMG! This is fan-fucking-tastic news!

Pyramaze > Iced Earth (well, except Burnt Offerings)

 

[EricT]

Man, you guys don't understand how fucking hard I am right now. My cock is going to rip through my pants at any moment. This is the best news of the year... nay, of the century!

 

[Jace_Mereel]

I second that greatness... but without the wiggly-busting.
