Played the chorus riff from gauntlet just messing around at a guitar shop... Had the owner come up and say "now theres something you don't hear every day, real metal" I idolize people like that, old school metal heads
I truly believe this to be the best that metal has to offer... I have followed since Days of Purgatory. The story unfolds for those of you, who like myself, believe... yet do not follow organized religion. The things said on all of these albums may be fiction in some eyes, however; ring true in a lot of ways. I think that is why Iced Earth are the kings of story telling and true... progressive metal. If you read the lyrics they have produced as a book you gather a whole array of timelines and stories. Fucking perfection!!!
Yes they are amazing in talents but I've heard many good unique artists not only in metal or sounding like a metal type but also different genres ...there is many great artists and more to come and many unknown.
happily Iced Earth brings the truth. I think the one that touched John is the truth. He knows a lot. I feel it I really do. Watch for the things he deliberates from his albums. Dystopia... happening. Everything before that a warning of what is to come. I believe you John and I feel you. Please tell me this is all a vision and not just some ramblings of a bitter soul.
I love the ending lead guitar part to Crown of the Fallen. It sounds like it may be Phrygian dominant in the key of "A". Then it sounds like it is played 1 fret lower in the key of "A flat". Just guessing though.
A bit late reply, but duh. He actually doesn't decide that he doesn't want to eliminate them. He gives them a choice - if they change for the better, they will be saved. If not, he'll carry out his original plan. Look at Come What May's lyrics. I also saw an artwork showing two faces of the same scene - one where people are cheering in pink colors with Quest for Light on banners, and the other where they're incinerated and Set Abominae stands on a podium looking at them.
"Framing Armageddon: Something Wicked Part " is part one of two concept albums BASED ON A TRILOGY OF SONGS FROM ICED EARTH'S FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM "Something Wicked This Way Comes". The saga, aptly titled the Something Wicked Saga, tells the fictional history of mankind, from its creation to its destruction. Framing Armageddon is Pt 1, The Crucible of Man is Pt 2. It's a concept trilogy based off of songs from "Something wicked..." as I stated before. The third part is yet to be released.
@KillzoneV3 well truth be told a lot of the Music of Iced earth tell the Story of Set Abominea (Probably spelled that wrong) Except that he a member of a species that Humanity wiped out upon invading Earth, really he's just the Setian's tool of vengeance
ok, after a few listenings...even though its different in a sence I think the songs are ok...I expected something else though but nevermmind...Now the next album better be a "Return of the Stormrider"
every opinion is respectable..Yet me being an I.E. fan since day 1 and liking the previous album, I find it hard and see no motive in buying this one. On the other hand after listening to Trivium's new album I'm gonna buy it. So where does this leave us? I was happy when Mat came back to the band.yet I can't say that this album is good related to previous.Horror show a bad album?? Don't think so man.Try the new AVANTASIA album, which is even better that the previous ones -more heavy less power-
hehe...on the dark side of eden...I think that horror show was the last GOOD album that Iced earth made, from that point on they are predictable and somewhat boring. Matt is great but the songs must also be great besides the singer

I did the same thing last year but only it was Troy Seele himself in the store and he said something to me

i love the ending of this song! they used the ending riff to The Coming Curse and i think thats great!
Awesome. Hail Iced Earth. This is getting good. Matt Barlow shines bright.
The Dimension Gauntlet is amazing.
I live in Hamburg and just saw them at Town Ballroom. LOVE IE!
this band is amazing...and that album art is astounding....
Loved the chorus line of this song.!
3:23 onward drives me into a frenzy. Its just nuts.
ICED EARTH FOR LIFE!
I fell in love with Crown Of The Fallen :D
@metaldeathman I'm from Hawaii and there isnt much metal fans period! I love Iced Earth ever since I heard the "something wicked this way comes" album
natraan Aloha
crown of the fallen kicks ass! and I wish Gauntlet would have been longer

For me the text shines big time along with the songs.
The end of this song is uniform with The Coming Curse- that's so cool.
They are kinda popular where i live in, try anywhere around western Europe if you really want to meet the hardcore Iced Earth fans xD
The ending to Dimension Gauntlet seems to be the same riff that was at the end of The Coming Curse. Interesting, very nice tie-in they did there.
I love the ending lead guitar part to Crown of the Fallen.
It sounds like it may be Phrygian dominant in the key of "A". Then it sounds like it is played 1 fret lower in the key of "A flat".
Just guessing though.
Iced Earth almost always play in E flat tuning, so they probably just played as if they were playing in the key of A in standard.
thats how awesome Jon Schaffer is :D

I fuckin love what Barlow does at :37
@metaldeathman
There aren't enough fans where I am either. LONG LIVE ICED EARTH!!!

@context min 3:23 follwed by 3:40 a.s.o... before and after! awesome!

The two song are the best of the album with crucify the king
@metaldeathman Niagara falls is in canada....near toronto

4:45 Iron Maiden influence

@metaldeathman
DUDE im from niagara falls ontario and me and all my friends fucking LOOOOOOVE iced earth! FUCK YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if that's the situation with IE fans, then why do they have concerts across all of Europe , for example ?
They are more popular in Europe especially Greece where i hear a lot of fans are concentrated.
spread the word
Anyone else get Antichrist overtones from this whole album? >__>
RUclips isn't loud enough.
I get the Scientology overtones in it
damn..all the songs are mid tempo? Listen to LOST HORIZON's "Welcome Back" song
even with wikipedia you get it wrong
Oh sorry my bad! haha
hehe...on the dark side of eden...I think that horror show was the last GOOD album that Iced earth made, from that point on they are predictable and somewhat boring. Matt is great but the songs must also be great besides the singer
Ok thats a little excessive.
I like Barlow but this song would be complete with Ripper.
Ketunloikka thats probably tru
