I will go ahead and say it...ICED EARTH is probably the most underrated band of all time
timjenkins502 they’re definitely in the conversation.
I’d throw Edguy in there too.
No, Savatage is.
Without a doubt it’s gotta be Helloween.
Halloween and Savatage are definitely on the list too !
How about Satan's host or paragon...those bands are even more underated than iced earth...love the shit out of iced tho,fucking killer band
Matt Barlow is a vocal god
oh yeah, they should definitely check out Matt Barlow. Such a BEAST!
I'm a Matt Barlow fan myself. I think Stu Block has some good vocal moment in his songs but Barlow kept me tuned in more.
This is the only song Jon sings on
Amazing to see you guys going deep with Iced Earth here. Such a cool band, and also very underrated. If you ever wanna check out some of the band's deep cuts, I would highly recommend "A Question of Heaven." I think Matthew Barlow really shines as a vocalist on that one :)
How can you call yourself a metal head and not have listened to Iced Earth? This band is criminally underrated.
Thought they were just power metal. Wasn't ever into that but this channel is challenging me lol
I suggest you to listen by Iced Earth's ''Alive in Athens'' album, for start... ''Dante's Inferno''... and then...
''Pure Evil''... ''Travel In Stygian''... ''Desert Rain''... ''The Path I Choose''... ''My Own Savior''... ''Coming Curse''... ''Iced Earth''... ''When The Night Falls''... I repeat, by ''Alive In Athens'' album, not studio version.
Listen to these songs and be surprised at how good this Βand is !!!!
"My Own Savior" is my favourite, very thrashy, headbanging-worthy and melodic at the same time.
Birth of the wicked rips as well.
Please react to iced earth - dantes inferno alive in athens. You will love it i am sure about it.
Iced earth have a lot of amazing songs but Dante's Inferno is truly a masterpiece. And the Alive in Athens version is really fucking good, Barlow is a god.
Alive in Athens and the album version are both AMAZING!
🤘🤘🤘
Iced Earth is Power Metal. They can sound "thrashy", especially their older stuff due to their tight riffing style. Listen to DANTES INFERNO LIVE IN ATHENS!
John Schaffer is the vocalist on every version of Stormrider. If you want a good comparison of Barlow and Greely try the versions of Travel in Stygian from the same album with Greely and Days of Purgatory with Barlow.
Continue on your Iced Earth journey, you will not be disappointed. The most underrated band of all-time bar none.
Schaffer is the gallopmaster! :D
This is one of the most underrated albums and bands (older stuff). Travel in Stygian is a timeless classic.
iced Earth is definitely a power metal band, but their older stuff (like this song) borders on the thrashy side of the genre. Jon Schaffer only did vocals on this song...their singer was John Greely but he was replaced for their 3rd album with Matt Barlow who was replaced in 2004 with Tim Ripper Owens, but returning again from 2007-2011, replaced again with Stu Block (ex-Into Eternity). Jon also did a side project with Hansi (Blind Guardian's singer) called Demons & Wizards. Cheers!
Barlow was my fave of all the vocals they had... that dude could put so much feeling into his vocals..
@@j.alambertmetalator7417 guess he doesn't like sub-genres haha!
there is noway they would be just power, even today they take elements from trash, speed and i could even say some prog stuff, Jon is a monster on the riffs.
Mike Judas Priest I always wondered why the vocals sounded different on this song.
also some would say they have a very similar tone in some albums .... after first .... that reminds of Iron Maiden who definitely are an inspiration for them
Iced Earth does the perfect mix between classic metal/trash. Jon Schaffer is a huge fan of Maiden and Metallica. Listen their magnus opus, Dante's inferno. 16 minutes of pure metal.
Thank You! Sistah and Wolf! Have a nice weekend!
Mmmmwwaaahh!!😘😘🤗✊🏾🤘🏻❣️
Iced Earth is straight up Heavy Metal. The bastard child of Iron Maiden and Metallica.
Jon Schaffer was raised by a very strict Lutheran Catholic family. Also iced earth has done some symphonic metal too but not very often such as the Gettysburg trilogy (3 songs) which was also sang by Tim Owens (Judas priest replacement singer for rob halford).
In running for saddest songs ever is Fiddler on the Green by Demons and Wizards. Demons and Wizards was a side band by Iced Earth guitarist Jon Shaffer and Blind Guardians singer, Hansi. The song is an emotional rollercoaster.
is* tho. New album comes 2020 :D
You might want to give 'Dark Saga' album by Iced Earth a try ,. it's a full album in honor to Todd McFarlane's Spawn comic book.
More Iced Earth Please!! Burnt Offerings!
Iced Earth is a band that could fall into a couple of different categories. In general they would be considered power metal because of the vocals and lyrical content. But a lot of their music crosses over into straight thrash as well. One thing to keep in mind when listening to their older material, they had 3 different lead singers on their first 3 albums. It wasn't until their third guy, Matt Barlow, that they really started to click and find the sound that they became known for. For most Iced Earth fans, Barlow is considered THE voice of the band. The Alive in Athens cd is a great performance of the band during the Barlow era and they cover a few of the older tunes with him on vocals including this one. Barlow was eventually replaced with Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex-Judas Priest) for two albums, before returning to the band. Barlow eventually left again, and was replaced with their current singer Stu Block. Much like Megadeth, the one constant has been guitarist and main songwriter Jon Schaffer. While the "voice" of Iced Earth may be up for debate, there is no doubt that Schaffer is the heart and soul of the band.
Also, keep in mind that just because a band is labeled a certain way, that doesn't mean every song they make falls into that category. Metallica is thrash. For Whom the Bell Tolls, not a thrash song. Megadeth is thrash. Symphony of Destruction, not a thrash song. Iced Earth combines a lot of thrash elements along with a lot of power metal elements, so which style they fall under greatly depends on the individual song, and not even necessarily a whole album or era.
Yes, definitely check out Days of Purgatory with Matt Barlow, he's the best singer imo.
original stuff sounds best with the og singers tho
@@DethThrasher1 In my opinion the Alive in Athens live version of Travel in Stygian and Angel's Holocaust are superior to the originals.
If we compare them to Iron Maiden the first guy was sort of the Paul'Di'Anno of Iced Earth to Matt Barlow's Bruce Dickinson.
He had a unique and interesting tone.
Iced Earth Dante's Inferno live in Athens 1999, please, please! Mathew Barlow is the vocal beast!
I got so many Kill Em All and Ride The Lightning vibes from this one. That is of course a compliment :>
Loved your horse gallop edit btw! :D
Iced Earth is one of my favorite bands ever!!! They have so many amazing songs and albums and they are one of the most consistent bands I have ever seen. In my opinion Iced Earth has very few filler songs and the majority of them are amazing quality. Jon Schaffer the head songwriter and only original member left is an amazing musician. Iced Earth in my opinion are extremely underrated. In my opinion they should be as big as Iron Maiden and Metallica. They are that PHENOMENAL to me. I love every Iced Earth era and lead singers that they have had. Matt Barlow will always be considered their classic lead singer, but I love all of them. Stu Block their most recent lead singer in my opinion is perfect and I love all three albums that he sings on especially Dystopia and Incorruptible.
ICED EARTH - DANTES INFERNOOOOOO
Iced Earth is one of my top five favorite Metal bands of all time! Can't go wrong with them! Other songs I'd recommend include:
- Dante's Inferno (16 minute epic)
- Dracula (a beautifully badass song)
- The Coming Curse (a concept song from a story by the founder of the band about a powerful being tasked with wiping out mankind)
- Stand Alone (my personal favorite)
That's cuz this was originally the style of "Purgatory" Jon's first band from the late 80s. After Matt Barlow joined it become more power cuz of his type of vocals, it changed yet again when Tim Owens from Judais priest joined on temporarily while matt took a break to become a New York firefighter after 9/11 for a few years before coming back for one last album. then band changed once more after Stu Block (current singer) from "into eternity" joined
OMG thank you so much for doing this. When I was a kid getting into metal I loved this song and I could not remember what is was called or the band. I had tought i lost it to time. Thank you forgiving this gift of a old memory that I lost.
This whole album is friggin amazing! Pure Evil, Travel In Stygian, the list goes on.
Need to listen to "Travel in Stygian" from the same album. It's one of their greatest songs.
Tim the Ripper Owens has a band called Charred Walls of the Damned. Its a super group, its something special.
Iced Earth.....Legends.. Love it when Jon Shaffer kicks in the classic thrash guitar action.
Amorphis feat. Anneke Van Giersbergen - Amongst Stars (Official Video), please. Can't find a live version with decent sound for you to review.
Metal Forever, Baby! 🤘
Haven't listened to iced earth in years, but I love them from stormrider to something wicked.
Iced Earth is a great band because they mix the best of Power metal and Thrash metal, and cranking all of it up. This album was before Matt Barlow, so the vocals were a lot more in the Metallica or Slayer style, whereas Matt originally started emulating Greely's voice but eventually took it in a much more Power style with more soaring notes and emotional register.
But Jon Schaffer the guitarist has always been a riff master, the lord of the galloping guitar. His hand is rock solid, never missing a note and just driving these nasty riffs that make Iced Earth so good. They absolutely love to write transitions, and as you can see their music is very rarely the same twice in the same song, meaning they go on long runs of transitioning into variations on the same riff with melodies and tempo changes.
The irony is, live the singer is actually Shaffer, rather than Barlow. And honestly, it works great, Jon is a really decent singer and backing vocalist. It's so hard to get people to go on the Iced Earth journey, but one song really can't give you a great idea of who they are as a band.
I would say that Alive in Athens is required viewing. It is an amazing concert, probably the best vocal work Matt has ever done live (even with the redubbing of parts) and it hits all the best songs from before the Ripper era, which means all the classics. Of course, Gettysburg is an amazing song trilogy too, Ripper did some of his best work ever with this band, and then Crucible of Man is Matt returning and I think putting some of his best vocals ever onto a CD. I'm not a fan of the Block era, so that's more a personal thing.
YAAAAS! I'm a huge Iced Earth fan from way back. Well, way back to 2001 anyway. Jon Schaffer is the master riffer. Right up there with Dave Mustaine. More, more!
I found this by accident. I’m a huge Iced Earth fan. Liked and subscribed.
Iced Earth is the perfect example of “Power Thrash”
Love how she is sensible to music...
Jon Schaffer might be the greatest metal rhythm guitarist of all time, his riffs are just plain nasty. As for future song suggestions, if you want something short & heavy try The Hunter, more long & melodic (in a make-sista-cry type of fashion) go for A Question of Heaven.
Man, the way you, Wolf, reacted to these riffs, I'm 100% sure you would love Travel In Stygian (live at Athens preferably) by them, some nasty riffs in that one. Insane speed and power.
Yes.. let's not forget The Ripper timeframe as well. Barlow and Ripper absolutely killed it on their albums.
ICED EARTH - Black Flag (new singer Stu Block is insane) - Watching Over Me - Anthem - I died for you - Damien
These guys should be in the BIG 5!
You two make me happy watching you.Thanks
You make me happy, that you ENJOY watching us, sugah. Thank you 🥰🤗❣️✊🏾🤘🏻
Yesss finally, my favorite band. My profile pic of the guitarist at a show of theirs that i went to back in 2017. Amazing show and one of the most unforgettable nights. It was also Jon’s (guitarist) birthday, so the band brought out a cake and stuff. I really with that you will react to Dantes Inferno by them. Its long, but every second is amazing🤘🏻
Finally I am seeing more huge Iced Earth fans and I love it. Iced Earth has been one of my favorite bands since Burnt Offerings came out. In my opinion Iced Earth should be as big as Iron Maiden and Metallica. They are that PHENOMENAL to me. It is so good to see another huge fan. You have great taste in music.
Were you at the show in Houston? I was there... At the barrier. Got to meet the band prior to the show, autographs, etc. Talked to Jon for a while, such a cool dude! I watched them from the barrier and I ended up scoring a set list after the show.
Iced Earth is really a power/thrash band, their main two influences are Metallica (Hetfield's rhythm playing particularly) and Iron Maiden (their sense of melody). They were based in Tampa, Florida at the time when the death metal scene was flourishing, rehearsing right next to Obituary and Morbid Angel - and they were recording in Morrisound studios, so they got a lot of aggression from that side of things, esp. on the first three albums I'd say (Stormrider is from their second one). From their on, the power metal really gets more prominent (it was also the time of its peak, the 90s) and Horror Show is their most power metal album really, reminding of Blind Guardian (they toured together at the time, then of course there was the Demons and Wizards project with Hansi Kursch, by the way, please react to Fiddler on the Green!).
Jon Schaffer is an amazing rhythm guitarist, he writes some really nasty riffs. He took the Disposable Heroes picking and really went away with it... I prefer their earlier days (Burnt Offerings is my favorite) but they have a solid discography...
That's why I often call Schaffer Hatfield's son. Haha. 🤘🏻
Just discovered you guys. Good vibes. Hope yall did some more Iced Earth.
One of my favorite bands, was lucky enough to watch them live a few years ago in their first tour with Stu Block, they kicked ass
For Halloween this year y'all should do a song from Iced Earth's album "Horror Show". I'd recommend Wolf or Dracula. Awesome stuff!
That's Jon Scaffer on vocals on that track. The intro is John Greely. The vocals of John Greely on the other tracks are very different. He has a great singing voice and Halford-like screams.
You should really explore Iced Earth more. 🤟
The song Pure Evil has more of that power metal sound on that album. I'd say Iced Earth are a mix of Power Metal and Thrash. They sometimes crossover more into either genre. The vocals on this aren't even done by their standard vocalist. Their guitarist did the vocals on this one. They normally go for more classic metal sounding vocals with a little bit of thrash edge. Would have recommended some Blind Guardian for a Power Metal introduction. They're iconic.
DEMONS & WIZARDS - Heaven Denies. A guitar riff as nasty as it can get from the same guitarist-
You must do Dante's Inferno from Alive In Athens! Its a combination of thrash and power metal, and one of their most majestic songs ever written. I hope that you do more of Iced Earth. Schaffer is one of the best modern guitarists. Iced Earth is a combination of thrash and power metal. They are the first band I ever became a fan of when I was a kid, and they're my all time favorite band.
Wolf might also like the song "Iced Earth" from their first album "Iced Earth".
i've been listening to Iced Earth since 1997, starting with Matt Barlow on vocals. i hadn't heard much at all from the early recordings, but this was pretty awesome too! As far as trying to describe the similarities and differences between thrash and punk, i generally refer people to Suicidal Tendencies and how they evolved over the years.
If you follow Comicbooks and have heard of "Spawn", they recorded a whole album dedicated to that character. "Dark Saga" released in 96 hope you check it out.
Iced Earth is American Power Metal as opposed to European Power Metal. It's a bit more thrashy than Euro power metal as you can tell. But with Iced Earth specifically the band is essentially Jon Schaffer's band. He is the rhythm guitarist and he has a signature riff style that is prevalent throughout most of their songs. The band has gone thru a lot of line-up changes, but Jon is the mainstay and founder of the band. He's a real cool dude and he runs a historical relic shop in Indiana I believe. At least he did for a while anyway. But he's a Civil War buff and Iced Earth does several Civil War songs.
You absolutely have to do dantes inferno. Matt Barlow sings on it and hes their best vocalist imo.
Iced Earth is so amazing
I love how you love it. One of my favorite metal songs.
They were actually Power/Thrash in their first 3 albums.
Iced Earth - Dracula!!!
One of my favorite albums. Jon actually relocated the band back home to Indiana a few years back.
This album is Iced Earth's peak even though Matt Barlow ain't in the band yet.
I think you should shoot her with a double does of Travel In Stygian and Dante's Inferno, but you HAVE TO do the Alive In Athens version, both of them!
My #1 band
Insomnium - Pale Morning Star. 9 minutes of epicness
Lol scrolling through and stopped as soon as I saw Iced Earth. Was easily my favorites from when I was 16 - 20 or so. Saw them in concert here in Dallas and that show was awesome.
The first Iced Earth album is such an overlooked metal album!
Nicely done.
I hope you will listen to some Iced Earth with Matt Barlow, I love his voice.
Yes, riff master.
They Started out heavy and later joined forces with Blind Guardian, they then were associated wit Power Metal because of their kinship with Blind Guardian.
Yeahhh 🤘🔥💀
I love hearing people underestimating Iced Earth and then realizing they are the best metal band ever formed. 🤘
It's probably been said numerous times, but you shoulda done this song from the Alive In Athens DVD, with Matt Barlow on vocals. Therefore please do "Desert Rain" from that DVD.
Iced Earth is definitely Thrash Heavy/power metal !
A maelstrom of triplets and Jon is a natural at playing them.
Jon Schaffer sings lead vocals on every version. The clean intro is the exception with this one by John Greely (sp?) and Matt Barlow on the Days of Purgatory compilation the requestor mentioned
In my mind, Jon Schaefer is the tightest rhythm guitarist of his metal generation.
what you havnt heard iced earth man you need slappin
Don't wanna be strange,but WHY ORIGINAL? Live version of 2008 is amazing,John still rocks. BTW Wolfkain, rly no jokes, XD you have almost same look as Iced Earth band creator and main guitarist John Schafer (who singing this song)
@6:12 my baby is so freaking cute, in that zoom!🤭😊😍🤩😘😘 He was surprised by the beauty of this song! 😁✊🏾🤘🏾❣️
Original version was sung by rhythm guitar god Jon Schaffer and still is to this day. He sings backup on a few other songs (and a key part in Gettysburg's final song in the trilogy). I rather like his voice. Not much in the way of range but he has a cool sound. As much as everyone loves Matt Barlow (who would join the band after this album), Jon Schaffer IS Iced Earth and Stormrider is one of the best examples of their thrash influenced power metal sound. If you look at where and when they started, its no shock their sound is heavier, more aggressive and more raw than most power metal, as the tampa bay scene at that time birthed alot of legendary death metal bands including the legendary Death, Morbid Angel but also other power metal bands like Savatage.
God I love both of you guys! Why can’t you be my next door neighbors? Iced Fucking Earth! Oh yeah,love Wolf’s Maiden shirt so Up the Irons!
Iced Earth is an Traditional Metal band.
How have you not listened to Iced Earth? They kill the gallop.
I think it's safe to say nobody gallops like Jones schaffer. Truly the master.
I think it was more of a crossover dribble than a head fake. Well played Cygnus (sp?)
Stormrider and Burnt Offerings are surely some of the best Metalalbums ever written.
Super underrated band, as years went on they got more melodic with the vocals. When people ask me what they sound like I just say they’re a heavier version of Iron Maiden
Iced Earth = If Metallica, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden had kids that started a band! Jon Schaeffer is a master at his sick riff craft!
Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno (personally, the studio version is better to hear it very clear and pay attention to the lyrics)
agreed
Many years ago I was starting a band.....the other guitar player was switching to guitar from bass I was teaching him right hand technique and he brought me a CD of horror show....and ask if that's what I after..... I've been an Iced Earth fan ever since
Ok I'll just say this, although Iced Earth isn't exactly my cup of tea they have one of the best metal album ever made: Horror Show.
Of course it's just my humble opinion.
Again thank you guys for another great reaction video.
I go back and forth on my feelings on this band but Horror Show is one of my favorites.
I learnt every lyric to every song in Horror Show and I never bother learning lyrics to whole albums. I love that one.
this is an earlier album 1991 they became more power metal on or after their album Dark Saga I had the privledge to play with the lead guitar player Randall Shawver.One of the best!!
also the remake Matt Barlowe just sings the intro to the song John Schafer sings the lead vocals again.John Schafer consider his sound Heavy Metal.
Iced Earth is probably my favourite power metal band (them or Edguy).
They’re just as much thrash as they are power though imo. Check out Dante’s Inferno and Dracula.
Actually, if you want an IE make sistah cry, try “Watching Over Me” which Jon Schaffer wrote about his friend who died in a motorcycle accident.
or Ghost of Freedom from the Horror Show album
Love Iced Earth
Iced Earth's best album, in my opinion. A must for every metal fan. Can't beieve it's yout first time on this.
She gets it!! Iced Earth at it's Thrashy Greatness.
If you ever get a chance to see Iced Earth, please do it!! they will rock your ass off!!
