Iced Earth has had about 5 different vocalist over the years but the main one they have had is Matt Bartow. Hes been the singer for the past two songs and obviously he has a huge range, some other songs he even delves into harsh vocals.
Thanks for the info! You answered the question I had just asked on Facebook lol.
Ripper and Stu Block kill it, but there is no replacing Barlow. Barlow is God
Cuales serian esos cinco vocalistas,aparte de owens,barlow y block??
So just some background because Iced Earth is easily my favorite band ever and I love when people experience them for the first time;
The singer on this album, Horror Show, as well as most other Iced Earth albums (Something Wicked, Crucible of Man, Dark Saga, Days of Purgatory, Burnt Offerings, Tribute to the Gods) is Matt Barlow, a man I consider to be one of the greatest voices in heavy metal, period. You mentioned that you were looking for more aggression & edge, and he definitely does a lot of that primarily in the earlier albums, but he has such an octave and vocal range that I think his best work is when he really explores it. I think, for me, Crucible of Man (his last album with the band) is one of the best vocal performances he's given and HIGHLY suggest checking out songs from it.
If you prefer more angry, raw edge to your music, absolutely Burnt Offerings is the album for you, the entire thing is a barely-restrained rage against religion, hypocrisy, and societal pressures.
Honestly though I would suggest watching or listening to Alive in Athens (1999) all the way through. It's easily one of the best recorded concerts on the internet, and while it lacks songs from Horror Show and future albums, it still has all the quintessential listening in there. And unlike lots of other acts, the band is basically 1:1 with their album live, Barlow is just as good or better on a mic as on a CD, and the band is just as good.
That was a killer damn show. I wish I was there lol but I saw them live at the house of blues in Orlando, and at other FL venues wen I lived there, so many times I lost count lol So I count myself very fortunate none the less.
Hi, new subscriber here. I love your thoughts on the songs you react to. You could react to all the songs on this album, The Horror Show, they're all good. I defy you to react to their song Dante's Inferno live in Athens 1999. It's a long song but it tells a story, in acts, and it gives you a really good overview on their music.
Definitely
Dante's Inferno
Travel in Stygian
Pure Evil
Desert Rain
Off the Alive in Athens DVD!
Yes, cant wait for his reaction to that live performance of Dante's Inferno!
Fuck yes!
I constantly go back and watch alive in Athens,so epic one of those bands that's amazing on disc but mind blowing live...
Dude I love the fact that you have so much historical and literary knowledge that you could give such a huge amount of context coming into this song cold. Kinda cool that this song clicked with you like that.
The visuals I get from this is from the film Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman.
Oldman was a warrior/soldier in some powerful army which had strong religious ties - like some Crusaders or some shit? It's been a while since I saw the movie.
But he was indeed a "Vlad" who fought these battles in the name of God, and for "the blood [he] spilled for faith fulfilled", his wife dies - either from a tragic accident, or murdered, or succumbed to illness or whatever, I don't recall the specifics. But he comes home after a battle, or gets word about his wife while still on the battlefront (again, not sure which, but it doesn't matter), and he loses his shit - the "crisis of faith" to end all crises of faith ever - his reaction was to renounce God hardcore, and I guess he made some deal with "the competitor" or "enemy" of the spiritual spectrum.
Basically saying, "So, I remain faithful, God-fearing, and I fight all these wars, I spill rivers of blood, all in YOUR NAME, and You show your gratitude by letting MY WIFE DIE?? Fuck you! I'm done! I'm defecting to the Devil's side!".
And I don't blame him one bit. :-P
This is when, I assume, he "joins" that "Order of the Dragon"? I could be wrong - maybe the Dragon Order was one of "God's" army?
Lots of irony when it comes to religion, on both sides.
In flames has an insane discography also
Why does the shadow look like kermit the frog headbanging along with you lol
They are all about horror characters. Damien was about the movie the omen. This was about Bram stroakers Dracula and the Bella legosi one had a few lines.
Tim ripper owens was another singer and he has two amazing g albums with the band. But Barlow is by far my favorite.
Hey man I know I'm really late to the game here but I have something to say. Iced Earth is epic and legendary however the rhythm guitarist is the songwriter and founder of Iced Earth & his name is Jon Schaffer. He is a metal God similar to Rob Halford but in guitar form. Please check out his side project Demons & Wizards, and In particular the song Touched by the Crimson King and The Fiddler On the Green performed at Waken in 2019. This project with Hanzi who is the singer of of Blind Guardian is awesome and powerful as hell. It chills me to the core and heavy as a freight train hauling lead bars. \,,/
Fun fact: Vlad the Impaler did indeed drink the blood of his enemies, but not as much as people would say. Im pretty sure he would often impale some of his enemies on large wooden spikes implanted into the ground in front of his castle, and would then collect blood that was dripping from their bodies in a cup and drink it in front of the townsfolk. I guess it was a sort of showmanship type thing, alot like how Ozzy would bite the head off bats before or after a show
The leader of the band, Jon Schaeffer, is a huge history buff.
For a great ballad on the same album try out ,,Ghost of Freedom"
Dracula was a great warrior against turks, one of the most iconic romanian kings.
Great reaction, very good song. Your historical context, while perhaps lacking, has led me to do some further research. Who could ask for more?
Its based on the Coppolas movie from 1992,as far as I remember,he went to battle to fight for Christianity against Islam (Gods own war),but while he was fighting someone sent a fake message to his wife that he died fighting so she committed suicide by jumping from the high tower. So when he came back he got so angry that he stabbed a Cross with his sword and the Cross started bleeding and he started drinking that blood.
more over the fact that christianity was refusing burial in a cemetary for suiciders so he was too pissed for the fact they refused bury her in a cemetary consecrating her funeral rites etc while he fought for their faith .
@@galadballcrusher8182 Yes,I forgot about that,thank you.
Pretty interesting, thanks for sharing.
Try one of the live performances from Iced Earth, like something from Alive in Athens. Another good reaction.
I think you would really dig this song from the newest carnifex album call "This Infernal Darkness". I found a lyric video on youtube you can watch it from! ruclips.net/video/W2AhMJw6GCw/видео.html
The vampiric legend was made original by his enemies because he never tolerate to be a serve of hungarian king Matheos Corvin and this king was sooooo gelouse on fame of great warrior of Vlad Tepes(Impaler)
Both Damien and Dracula were from the album Horror show which was a theme album so they were about characters, that whole album is full of songs about characters. But Iced Earth has had several singers over the years you should definitely react to another album, probably something off Something Wicked This Way Comes. Or one from the newer album Anthem. Check their RUclips channel officialicedearth.
My suggestions would be to check out more from Horror Show like Phantom of the Opera. The last three songs from Something Wicked, Prophecy, Birth of the Wicked, and The Coming Curse. Then some early stuff like Night of the Stormrider, specifically Travel in Stygian. Maybe my personal favorite. Once checking those out you should be hooked
Rock on
Bruuuuuh, this is probably my most favorite Iced Earth song EVER
Loved old school horror ever since I was little so finding this song back in the day was just totally fuckin tits.
You should check out some Kamelot if you haven't listened to them.
Pretty much any song they've made into a music video is fuckin awesome, but I highly recommend "Insomnia" or "The Great Pandemonium"
Man, its time for you to react to their amazing old live performance of Dante's Inferno song.
Please react to "Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno (Alive in Athens)"
You are gonna love it!
nice reaction, you should like dante's inferno live in athens ! this show is fucking awesome ! :)
Iced Earth - Question Of Heave (with lyrics) probably that one could be the "right" for you.
IE and Manowar are my Life and Need when it comes to music! So I love absolutely everything IE has even done! Cant wait for new Demons And WIzards (IE and Blind Guardian) together, 3rd album is coming out soon
Ghost of the phantom opera next!!!!!
I disagree that this song doesn't tell a story. It does. It basically is a love letter to the Francis Ford Coppola film adaptation of "Dracula", which over-romanticizes the story (which I think is unnecessary), but they did add some historical elements about the real Vlad the Impaler. As for your personal backstory, that is really cool! :) Real life is stranger and at times more fascinating than fiction.
Coloca el video musical
Check out Slipknot-Orphan
If you could react to Drown by Traitors that would be dope
React to Call Of The Crows: A Modest Crown
Dude you're overthinking it.... The entire album is just movies..... It's not about vlad... It's about the first Dracula movie
verga habla demasiada paja y no va al grano.....
Haven't seen this on your channel yet (surprisingly) so I'm gonna go ahead and request it. Please please react to Fear Inoculum by Tool !!!
I'm planning on it, friend! Hopefully very soon!!
