ICED EARTH

Release Year: 2011
Artist Origin: USA
Style: dramatic melodic heavy/power metal

tenth studio album from the Florida-based dramatic heavy/power metal icon, triumphantly presenting Stu Block [Into Eternity] at frontman's position, who's soar voice sounds like a smart cross between Matt Barlow and Tim "Ripper" Owens; raw artistic passion meets focused creative expression, let alone always present thrashy intensity of compositions and the openly welcomed return of Something Wicked... storyline, which pleases the loyal fanbase beyond belief
