ICED EARTH: "Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Pt.1)

Haha, I think we all gathered it was a mistake seeing as you generally speak highly of IE ;D

I know you can't trust anything on Wikipedia but,...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revelation_Abomination_%28Something_Wicked_Part_2%29

Jon already confirmed the tracklisting for the second disc.

Oh well than that is excellent

IE ever gonna put out a live' record with "Ripper" ?...Wouldn't mind hearing "Burning Times" re-recorded with Tim on vocals.Have to say though i personally prefer "Beyond Fear" and "Wintersbane" over the Iced Earth' stuff.That "Heart Of A Killer" album flat out rips !

Jon spoke of a proper live DVD coming out at some point with Ripper in an interview a while back. I'm sure it'll happen at some point.

Somebody please enlighten me. I enjoy listening to Iced Earth, I have never paid attention to any lyrics whatsoever, except The Glorious Burden. What is the trilogy, heck I might even own it and don't even know it.

What trilogy? There are a few, actually. The one we're all referring to here is the Something Wicked trilogy, from the end of Something Wicked This Way Comes. There's also the Gettysburg trilogy from The Glorious Burden and Dark Saga has the The Suffering trilogy.

You answered my question. I own Something Wicked This Way Comes. Just never really looked at the track listing or read any of the album art work. Just popped the CD in played it . Maybe I should pay more attention to what I listen to. Got my copy down off the shelf and there it is. Something Wicked (Trilogy)

Since I got it down off the shelf, I guess I will listen to it next. I am listening to Dark Moor - Tarot right now, that is gonna be a huge change to my ears.

And don't forget that BURNT OFFERINGS has the Dante's Inferno Trilogy

I always find it weird that Dante's Inferno is a trilogy, but sure enough it's got 3 sections. Wild.

Hmmm...I guess that's right. I've never viewed it as a trilogy, just one song with three sections. Amazing song, though!

Good god! This has go to be the worst video I've seen in 10 years. Terrible.

How the hell did Jon sign off on this? He can't possibly think it's good, can he?

It looks like something that you would find on your local public acsess channel.

...oh my word. It's the Declaration Day video all over again, but with a poor man's cel-shading effect.

Great song, crap video!!

One of the comments under it on YouTube sez "This video looks like what happens when your Windows Media Player isn't working properly," hahaha

Needs more shadow-boxing.

Wow !!
How can a band like Iced Earth put out crap like this?
The song sounds ok though, and that`s what really matters.

Yeah, I've never actually heard the musician do the voice overs. It's a nice touch - beats hearing some random guy say it at least.

Some musicians may have done them, but they've never announced it. Haha. It's almost like he's watching you steal smurf poo music. Haha.

Tobias Sammet did them himself for the Hellfire Club album.

Those clips probably aren't good if you're wanting a good example of the album. But The Domino Decree has no voiceover. It's still only 30 seconds, but with no interruption it's a good sample. Check it out.

If you know that guys sense of humour, then YES!

I also think Peavey did the voice overs for Speak Of The Dead
