Iced Earth art...

[spawn]

Heres some links to the artwork from TGB, they are all pretty big images so will take a while to load, brilliant art as usual though! I hope its in a hardback book like Horror Show.

Anyone in Melbourne, do you guys know when Metal Mayhem will get the 2cd TGB? Utopia take ages to get anything that comes out on SPV (Kamelot, Annihilator etc.) so ill probably order it from MM if they get it on or close to the release date (13th January) though Utopia got The Reckoning single as soon as it came out so who knows

Theres the Eddie homage too for anyone who hasnt seen it.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I didn't realise the release was so soon!

 

[Sydo]

That's some nice artwork!

Horror Show sucked.

That sucks too.

I must confess to not understand why you think Horror Show sucks Sydo. IT HAS MONSTERS!

 

[Sydo]

Because too many of the songs are nothing more than decent b-sides.
Because pro-tool couldn't hide Barlows poor vocals.
Because it had too many mosters.

 

[spawn]

I find your reasons lacklustre to say the least, im going to go listen to Dracula

You can NEVER have too many monsters!

 

[Sydo]

I'm listening to Dracula right now.

 

[Sydo]

These vocals sound as natural as those on a Holly Vallance album.

 

[Spiff]

"Dracula" is the worst song ever. The chorus:

Dracula, your teeth are sharp
Dracula, you stole my heart
Dracula, will you be mine?
Dracula, mine for all time?

Worst. Song. Ever.

 

[spawn]

Thats because they are tortured necro screams from hell!

They did layer his vocals a tad much though, but the album still rocks, though Damien could have that stupid middle bit chopped out so it was only about 6 or 7 minutes long and it would be a much better song. I think Dragons Child is good too, and nobody else seems to

 

[spawn]

Bob Catley does a song called Dracula too, it rules! I wish I was a vampire

 

[Spiff]

I bet Bob Catley got someone to write it for him though. He probably gets someone to write his shopping list.

 

[Sydo]

My mp3 of Jack is all snap, crackle and pop's.
It was of my fav's from the album too..

 

[spawn]

Yep, the almighty Gary Hughes wrote Dracula for Bob

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Spawno, I really like Dragon's Child, it is the hidden gem on HS IMO.

Dracula is one of my least favourite tracks. Wolf, The Phantom Opera Ghost, Frankenstein, Dragon's Child, Jack, Jekyll and Hyde, all awesome, and Damien and Im-Ho-Tep, and Ghost of Freedom (while not fitting in at all) are great. Solid album.

 

[spawn]

Onya Blitzy, I knew I could count on you I didnt like Dragons Child at first, but then later I did, which I thought was cool.

Im-Ho-Tep is a tad weak though, but still, id rather have him chasing me than the Wolfman.

How could anyone not like Dracula? So sad, so angry... Its the greatest tragedy come story of vengeance in music outside of Skater Boi!

Frankenstein rocks, it has a great Sabbathy groove

I want Matt back on vocals

 

[Seventh Son]

The new album absolutely rocks

Gettysburg is unbelievable!!!!!

 

[spawn]

I wonder if its possible that my expectations are so low for this album that ill actually like it? Ive heard nothing but good things about the Gettysburg trilogy, so even if the rest sucks it will be worth it!
