Whoa that's really cool. I guess the theme is the civil war.

 

[The Metal Chick]

Yeah that is cool. They always have something cool on their cover.

 

[Manga-San]

Iced Earth covers are always the best...

They are having an epic 20+ minute song on the CD titled "Gettysburg". I think the major theme is patriotism and bravery in battle...

 

[SilentRealm]

cool. strange. i wonder how its going to sound.

 

[RR1 Player]

That's so awesome...I wonder how it will compare to The Odyssey. It's a hard one to beat.

 

[Connauch]

That is one beautiful piece of work. I've shown it to several of my friends who aren't even into metal and they commented on how great it looked.

This+the samples+the song, The Glorious Burden have me drooling.

 

[symphonyXjapan]

I have a feeling it isn't about "bravery" or "patriotism" and whatnot. The cd is called "The Glorious "Burden"". And the cover is showing people being mutulated in battle. It looks and sounds to me like it is about people being forced to fight and carrying the burden of sacrificing their lives because they had no choice in the matter. And the burden also of killing others. On the other hand I could be wrong and it could be a story (concept album) about the Civil War and the patriotism and bravery, but, I just can't see Iced Earth doing something like that?

The Glorious Burden Term was originally used in reference to the executive branch of the United States govt. I forget which past President the term was coined for. Jon Schaffer originally wrote songs for TGB that were in reference to his life in the music business, and how it generally SUCKS, and I guess a Burden. He shelved most of that material and included only the WAR material, mostly the civil war.

Actually, 30+. I can't wait for it!

 

[Dado-x]

Well, it's their least cheesy cover so far...

 

[The Yngster]

I don't think the Iced Earth covers are cheesy at all, especially the Dark Saga and Something Wicked covers

For the record, I like cheese. Especially swiss cheese...

 

[Manga-San]

Well, I figured bravery because of that Red Baron/Blue Max song...

 

[theodyssey]

Still don't like ripper's voice. I can wait for this one. Not gonna rush out to buy it like i'm going to rush out and buy Death Cult Armageddon by Dimmu Borgir.

rock on theodyssey...have you seen the video for Progenies of the Great Apocolypse? Fuckin awsome man. This album is gonna rock so hard...

 

[Sympozium]

Dimmu!!!!!!!!!! I will get the new Iced Earth too though!

 

[Demonspell]

I've heard four tracks from the new Dimmu and they're not bad at all...but I remember liking Puritanical a great deal when it first came out and now it bores me greatly.

 

[DestrwidoR]

Actually, 30+. I can't wait for it!

wow,,, sounds good!

 

[theodyssey]

Ok, i have looked at this piece of art a few times, and it has finally hit me. I look at it and it brings a tear to my eye... it's so bad!!!! I cannot emphasize enough how disappointing this whole album has been. To be honest, i think i would have rather heard matt's "heartless" performance than ripper's crap. Ugh... i'm just going to forget about it untill the dreaded release date.
