Sounds good, I think I'll go with the Deluxe digipak.

But when?

Amazon says it's expected June 16th, but I wouldn't hold 'em to that.

Century Media says June 16th as well. Looks like that date is a go.

How the hell can you have that many special editions and not a single bonus track among them?

I was just about to say the same thing, but you beat me to it.

Iced Earth was another band that fell off my radar. I really liked Something Wicked, then I was excited for Glorious Burden with Ripper on vocals. After that it seemed it was revolving door policy with the original singer back in and then out again. Like Annihalator I lost interest with all the singer changes.

Here's the lyric video for the new song "Seven Headed Whore."

Bout time! I like it. I'll be picking this one up.

Nice, nice. Hope the rest is this good.

That's a good heavy song. I don't know why Jon dislikes guitar solos. Sometimes songs are just begging for one. This song seems like one.

The art in that video looks better than the album cover. I'm guessing it's from the featured booklet art.

Ohhh yeaaaah

Here's the lyric video for the new song "Raven Wing."

I'm liking that one too.

Good tune, but Jon kind of sucks at being creative with these ballad-like tunes. They're all way too similar in style.

Here's the lyric video for the new song "Great Heathen Army."

Hmmmmmmmmm, falling into that trap of trying to be too epic on that song.

This sounds like its shaping up to be a winner.

This one is shaping up to be a pretty damn great album. Stu is finally sounding like he really fits in vocally. Not that he sounded bad before, but a lot of it sounded forced to me.

I ordered the album and in anticipation watched these videos again.

First thought:

Like what in the hell was I watching? There's an awesome solo very clearly right in there. I must have clicked away from the video after that slower part in the middle with the band logo graphic because maybe it seemed like the song ended.

I like what I'm hearing so far, anyway. And I'm glad because Iced Earth still is a top 5 band for me. Plagues of Babylon was good, but a little bland. But I'll take Iced Earth -bland over other music 99% of the time. Because it's still quality. But hold on for when the music really is awesome again like it was on Dystopia. Then it's album of the year stuff.

Just got around to listening to this song and it rips. This is what I want to hear from them.

Tomorrow is the big day.

Not sure I get mine on time though. Amazon just sent it today. And they are in Germany. I live in Finland.

I'm just hoping one of the two possible places in town has it tomorrow.

I wonder if this will be available at my Best Buy tomorrow ? I'm not holding my breath.

Asked my brother to pick it up for me in europe. Hopefully by saturday it will be available.

I might hold off. With so few songs and apparently no editions with bonus tracks, I'm tempted to believe a reissue will be coming in the not so distant future.

I actually found a copy. On my first listen through right now.

Stu Block is now the singer. He came from Into Eternity, a prog death metal band. He has done a very nice job imho, a mix of Barlow and Ripper.

I liked that band, think I had their debut...
