ive never been more proud to be an Iced Earth fan! this took balls to do,and i never expected Joh Schaffer to do this since we wrote "When the egale cries",he is a truly passionate musician and this will wake more people up to the real world.
this album is the sequel to Glorious burden and most especially the video for declaration day. In the cold war musicians fought a war with the only weapons they had pen and guitar. they wielded them with the glory power and honor of Excalibur to lead people out of tyranny. The march of freedom stopped when the music stopped and the radio popped. Jon Schaffer brings me new and refreshed faith in heavy metal
I'm European. The Project "Sons of Liberty" depends on the politic of the USA, but i guess, it can also stand for the development in the rest of the world. Thanks to Jon for doing this.
I hate that people say this and that, but when action is needed no one is to be found. Jon Schaffer took action. Now it is our turn to stand and fight!!
There are two kinds of people, those with hearts and minds in alignment, and those who trade deference for pay, done solely for personal advantage. However, do not be quick to praise those whose commitments and loyalties are genuine, for they may nevertheless serve resentments and objects that are unworthy, dangerous in their power to lead others astray. But a small minority are different. Not only are their hearts and minds aligned, their loyalty is to the simple and obvious truth tragically unsaid: the greatest evils of any age are denied and unrecognized. These are our real leaders. This is Robert Whitaker.
I agree. For me what makes it so great is it sounds awesome for one thing, and its not based on hocus pocus. Everything he's talking about involves everyone on earth, and is real and happening now. And there is nothing in the world that can get you so fired up as talking politics. ;) 2012 is going to be an eye opener for the Far left crazies. That is if we aren't a dictatorship by then.
As an American, I can say that, at this point, there is nothing you can do for us. Our Empire had it's day, and now it's over. No nation lasts forever It's our time to fall. Take care, my friend.

@NewEraRevolution If you go to the Sons of Liberty website, they have the lyrics to all their songs. I'd post the lyrics here, but there's not enough space to do it.
I read/heard that was also a reason Barlow couldn't sing on it. Though we all know Barlow and Schaffer jumped the 9/11 hype super (false) patriotic band wagon immediately. Especially Barlow becoming a police officer just because of 9/11 Luckily for me I lived in Austin in 2000/2001 and Alex Jones was on Public Access TV everyday so I caught wind early.
its amazing...all it takes is something like this new album and hopefully people start doing their own research and not just dismiss it as a crazy conspiracy...the bullshit we have been fed is just thta...bullshit...seek and you shall find
Dammit, this makes me so conflicted. On the one hand, the actual problems of making dissent "unpatriotic" and the problems of corruption. On the other hand, I disagree with ending all government regulation of money and business due to greedy idiots cocking it up and making just as much of a tyrannical state. Do I agree or disagree? Don't know. still good music however.
@Mongodelight Contact as many Americans as you can and warn them that America is making the same mistakes that Germans must obviously have learned in the 1920's-1940's Germans have a real advantage in that conversation
End the FED!
Hail from Poland!

The answer to 1984 is 1776!!!!
The song and lyrics are pure awesomeness. Freedom and truth will prevail, never doubt that. The end is near.

God guns and constitution...tag um KillRoy was here long live the Republic...
JON WAS RIGHT ABOUT ALL OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."
I wish we had such a band in italy to speak about what goes on here witht he style and power Jon has.
I'm European. The Project "Sons of Liberty" depends on the politic of the USA, but i guess, it can also stand for the development in the rest of the world. Thanks to Jon for doing this.
All my life ive been waiting for this album. Finally its here. Every song on this album speaks the truth!
I hate that people say this and that, but when action is needed no one is to be found.
Jon Schaffer took action. Now it is our turn to stand and fight!!
Let's go Brandon crimes against humanity

Hell yes. Sons Of Liberty and Otep may just rock enough people to wake up and realize that their lives and their freedom are worth fighting for.

@gringochucha
"1984" was written/published in 1949, who knew about microchips then, lol. Black & White Television was still new at that point.
AWSOME!! BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!
@DavManCometh He explained he didn't make the music to be some big amazing album, but simply to put the message out in an artistic form.
They do not care what we know. They only care about WHAT WE DO.
END THE FED rallies at every FED this November 22nd !!!
END ALL CENTRAL BANKS!
@NewEraRevolution If you go to the Sons of Liberty website, they have the lyrics to all their songs. I'd post the lyrics here, but there's not enough space to do it.
it's time u all call all Patriots
Jekyll Island is a bit of land off the coast of Georgia I believe. It's where the Federal Reserve was created
Jekyll Island?! THATS NEAR WHERE I LIVE!

Excellent Song! So how do we locate The Sons of Liberty John Shaffer's???
Indiana... that's where Jon resides.
its amazing...all it takes is something like this new album and hopefully people start doing their own research and not just dismiss it as a crazy conspiracy...the bullshit we have been fed is just thta...bullshit...seek and you shall find
Dude don't give up just like that there's still hope we need to fight and stand up and tell the world on what shit we are.
@psychomurderguitaris Nevermind, I just found out how ;)
Thank you Jon Schaffer for this trully amazing album!!! I love it!
@2wall2of2numbers2 They are programmed/synthesized drums that Jon programmed.
@metalgodaragona1986 He didn't do it under Iced Earth, because if he did, he wouldn't have been allowed to release it for free.
@MetallicMetalGirl
its actually a book from George Orwell
Intro sounds kind of nu metally, but the rest is AMAZING.
pretty decent album, not a terrible price if I recall... DARN INFLATION
Ron Paul 2012
Ron Paul 2012
Drums on this song are unbelievable. I want to see drummer play it live exactly as they are on album. I believe Brent Smedly can do it.

@MetallicMetalGirl its a book that was popular during the cold war about communism ruling the world its called 1984 its amazing
Read 'Secrets of the FEDERAL RESERVE' by eustas mullin's or The Creature From Jekyll Island by G.Edward Griffin.
@ajvarofdoom Em, I may be wrong, but I don't remember anything about microchips in 1984.
Any idea what i as a german can do to help americans wake up?
@Mongodelight
Contact as many Americans as you can and warn them that America is making the same mistakes that Germans must obviously have learned in the 1920's-1940's
Germans have a real advantage in that conversation
i know your gonna jam the songs on this FREAK SHOW CHANNEL right now
Please,excuse me it is Eustice Mullens.

Two people are banksters
@AmmericanPsych0 You will be able to decide for yourself. You don't need the gov to tell you how to live.
Bitcoin ftw!
