OH GOOD LORD!!! I have an unnatural addiction to Iced Earth... My non-metal friends claim it's almost sexual... They only say that because they go through stages with their "popular" bands, and aren't really fans of anything. Anyways, Matt Barlow's voice is nuts, the guitar parts drive the songs like crazy. The music is ingeniously melodic, and makes for much headbanging... I missed their "Horror Show" gig here in Cincinnati last year due to a broken leg, and I regret it... But I will continue supporting these guys. They are the only band that I like that actually comes from my Tri-State! Oh, by the way, is "Something Wicked This Way Comes" a good album?
