Iced Earth is finally
back with one of the most anticipated metal albums in a long time. It has been
three years since their last real album "Something Wicked This Way Comes"
(not counting the "Melancholy EP" or "Alive In Athens") but these valiant
warriors of true metal are now back again stronger than ever before. This new
album almost features a metal dreamteam with names like Steve DiGiorgio
(Death, Testament, Sadus) and Richard Christy (Death, Control Denied) and of
course also the older members. The most important members are however Jon
Schaffer and Matthew Barlow - Jon with his unique and sharp guitar playing and
Matthew being one of the most powerful and charismatic vocalists in metal
history. "Horror Show" is the most ambitious album from the band so far and
it takes the listener on a journey through history to meet some of the most
feared phenomena ever, from werewolves through Damien (the devil's emissary
in the Omen movies) and The Mummy to the magnificent grand finale "The
Phantom Opera Ghost". Jon Schaffer even plays the mandolin on this album and
it also contains a good cover of one of the best instrumental songs ever
namely "Transylvania" from the debut album of Iron Maiden. "Horror Show"
is now THE magnum opus of concept albums.
