new Iced Earth EP

[Brett]

Terrible. I've never seen someone rehash so goddamned much.

The huge follow up to Something Wicked may very well bury the band.

 

[Captain Beard]

I look forward to the new Pyramaze, on a related note.

 

[Metal head87]

Like we all didn't know it would be shit

 

[rebirth]

sure they were buried - entombed before '95

 

[Brett]

sure they were buried - entombed before '95

The EP they put out last year wasnt bad.

 

[rebirth]

really, didn't evern get into my radar, or any write up, ..only peole interested in that poor shit would be the greeks, they like anal

 

[RedKef]

they were buried as soon as owens joined the band. He just doesn't fit in with them.

Edit: He's talented, but he's not iced earth.

 

[StAngerTriviumknotAx7]

yeah this new song is awful, sounds way too familiar. The rerecorded trilogy sucks too, it feels lacking in energy and Owens is inferior to Barlow

but on the upside, new Kamelot full length leaked today and that should be good when i get round to listening to it (Kamelot-Ghost_Opera-Promo-2007-QTXMp3)

 

[EricT]

WTF is wrong with you people? It sounds "familiar"... Wasn't it just 2 years ago that everyone bitching about the change in their sound and wanted the old sound back?

This song is fucking KILLER. Rippers vocals can use some work, but fucking Schaefer did an excellent job on capturing the Something Wicked sound. I am fucking digging this song.

 

[AsModEe]

Eric, does it sound a bit aggressive at least? I don't want wannabe power/heavy metal à la Glorious Burden.

 

[EricT]

Its VERY aggressive. Think Disciples of the Lie aggressive... with a bit of a melodic chorus.

 

[Captain Beard]

"Eric: Different for the sake of being different."

 

[EricT]

...

WTF Dude?

I'm different cause its a good song. Its what I wanted, back to the Something Wicked sound for this album. And this song is JUST that.

Think what you want though.

 

[Lunar Still]

This song would be utterly amazing....if Barlow was singing it.

 

[EricT]

The re-recorded tracks are Just OK. Ripper is seriously missing something Barlow had on them.

But the instrumentation is top-notch.

 

[AsModEe]

Its VERY aggressive. Think Disciples of the Lie aggressive... with a bit of a melodic chorus.

cool cool.. but disciples of the lie was a bit boring of a song.

Triplet triplet triplet chorus triplet triplet triplet chorus solo chorus chorus

And the goddamn drum doing just: PUT PUT TAP PUT PUT TAP PUT PUT TAP

But yeah in terms of SOUND it was pretty cool.

 

[RedKef]

does anyone have a link to the song? I'm really hoping it's good, because the last album was just so bad...

 

[AsModEe]

ok listening to it...........

well, I guess my main gripe is with Owens. I just don't think he fits. He doesn't bring in the balls Barlow was bringing and it's a pretty standart song, something that wouldn't convince me to buy an album.

I want Pure Evil era Iced Earth back.....

 

[ShadowsWithin]

YES! been waiting for that to leak, the leak of the song ghost opera was pwnage.
