Check out this report from Mark Groman at BWBK magazine on Iced Earth and the new album Revelation Abomination Part Two.
The rejuvenated Iced Earth will be unveiled May 2nd, at Powerfest, in Chicago. Well probably just play the new single (I Walk Alone), says Schaffer of newbies in the set. I dont like hitting the fans with too much new (unreleased) stuff. Its sort of kills the vibe of the show. Especially with Matt coming back, were focusing on a little bit of Stormrider (not much), The Dark Saga, Something Wicked and some Horrorshow stuff. Asked about Framing Armageddon tunes, he adds, Well have to kick it around in rehearsal. Setian Massacre was always killer to do live. 10,000 Strong, probably, but I dont know about Charge. Depends on the length of the show. Not that its a slow song, but its more ballad-like. I dont want to do too many of those songs if were doing 45 minutes. Well do Melancholy and Watching Over Me and the rest will be balls out! We have several shows throughout the summer and were booking two weeks of dates around the ProgPower festival. As of now, we have about 30 shows in the can.
