Nah its a shop in Melbourne called Metal Mayhem which sells it for $85. They do have a site though ( www.metalmayhem.com.au ) and they sell online and I think ship all over Australia. That would still probably be the cheapest.

 

[Yella Terra]

Yeah, I saw that at JB's, It was tempting, But I decided not to

 

[spawn]

If it was 200 dollars it would still be a bargain!
Iced Earth rock

Gimme an I!

 

[Sydo]

That's right.. I just bought mine from Metal-Mayhem for $85.
And the good news is the CD's are no longer labled incorrectly. yay..

Hello hooray to you too.

METAL RULES! Welcome to the club

I got mine at Metal Mayhem for $75 At least my partner did. She's probably the second girl they've seen in there. The first was just asking for directions.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Hahahaha asking for directions lol!

I remember Sash at Metal Mayhem once told me someone came in and asked if they had any Eminem and he thought the person meant M&M's, and told them to go to the 7 Eleven on the corner of Elizabeth hahaha, and the dude goes "Nah Eminem is a rapper" and Sash said "Then why the fuck are you asking if a we have any here? Its a metal shop!" Hahaha.

Make sure the next album you get is either:

Dream Theater -- Scenes From a Memory
Megadeth -- Rust in Peace
Black Sabbath -- Paranoid

Every metal fan should own them!!

I'll second that!
Except exchange Paranoid for Heaven and Hell.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Get rid of Dream Theater and replace it with WASP - WASP !!!!

\m/

Or perhaps Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime if you wanna stick to a prog metal album.

I don't know which Iced Earth CD you have, but they're all good. There was another recent thread where we discussed them, but to save you time I'll sum them up (being 1 of the 2 resident Iced Earth maniacs):
- Dark Saga - Excellent - That's where Spawn gets his name!
- Something Wicked this way Comes - My first and will always have my heart
- Horror Show - their latest - awesome - where I get my name (Wolf is the first track on the CD)
- Days of Purgatory - harder and darker than the other 3, but excellent! Still has Matt Barlow on vocals. But, you need to get the 2-CD version, as it has far more songs for only a few bucks more (U.S. anyway)
- Dark Genesis - boxed set. Includes their "Tribute to the Gods" CD which has remakes from KISS, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult and Sabbath. It also has remakes of their first 3 CD's, so no need to buy their self-titled first album, Night of the Stormrider, or Burnt Offerings - if you buy this set. It is well worth anything you pay for it (and you save on buying 3 of their CD's too.) I got my copy from theendrecords.com for $33 American $$ (I know it's not Aussie currency), though I heard they've gone up since then.

Okay, now my next recommendation would also be Queensryche.
- Operation: Mindcrime - best concept album
- Promised Land - I loooooove this one
- Empire - has Silent Lucidity
- Rage for Order - excellent CD - pre-Operation: Mindcrime
- Greatest Hits - is how I got started and an excellent way to get an idea of all their various styles.

I know, someone yells Iced Earth or Queensryche and I go ballistic. It's in the blood!!! Right Spawny?

Good luck and from another newcomer, welcome!
