Matt Barlow rejoins Iced Earth!

This is the cover of the new album.

thats pretty cool

AWESOME!!! I love what I have heard of Pyramaze, though I don't own any albums yet. I think I'll pick up that new one though - ASAP!!!

Anyone know when it's being released?

Quote :

With the framework for the Armageddon of Man firmly laid with the band’s
2007 full-length release, "Framing Armageddon - Something Wicked Part I", ICED EARTH are set to launch the next installment of Jon Schaffer's "Something Wicked" saga with the release of their new single, "I Walk Among You", in June of 2008. The full-length studio follow-up to "Something Wicked Part I" is due for release in fall of 2008.

The new single and proceeding full-length studio album mark the return to the band of longtime frontman Matt Barlow, whose dark and sinister tones are the perfect fit to narrate the intense and viscous annihilation of mankind set in motion with the birth of the story’s main character, "Set Abominae", in "Something Wicked Part II". The single will allow fans to get a glimpse of the bright future for the band, and the perhaps not-so-bright future for humanity as we now know it.

The single will feature three songs, an exclusive version of the song "I Walk Alone" and a few tracks from "Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Part 1)" with new vocal performances by Matt Barlow. Due to the re-tracking of the lead vocals these tracks have been remixed and remastered. There will be an iTunes-exclusive version of the single "I Walk Among You" that features "A Charge To Keep" which has also been re-sung by Matt, remixed and re-mastered.

The video for "I Walk Alone" is being filmed in early April.

All tracks were recorded at Jon Schaffer's studio, Soaring Eagle Sound, and mixed and mastered at Morrisound. The single, and following full-length platter will be released by Steamhammer/SPV.

"I Walk Among You" (cover artwork) track listing:

01. I Walk Alone
02. Setian Massacre
03. The Clouding
04. A Charge to Keep (exclusive iTunes track)

Cool cover to the new single;


Also awesome that several tracks are being resung by Matt on the single. I can't wait to hear 'Setian Massacre' and especially 'The Clouding' with Matt on vocals. There's no way that can be bad. However, I think 'A Charge To Keep' is a bit of a weak third choice - where's 'Ten Thousand Strong'? After hearing Matt's voice on the Pyramaze clips, we all know he hasn't lost an ounce of ability, so I can't wait to hear the new single.

I am in complete fanboy mode right now.

Man, I was hoping they re-did some songs with Matt. And the choices are awesome! Those are three of my favorite tracks from the album. Too bad they didn't choose "Framing Armageddon," too.

Awesome news can't wait for this!

Me likey, me likey a lot! (on both accounts, IE and Pyramaze)

yeah, I can't wait to hear Matt sing The Clouding. It would be cool if they re-recorded the whole pt. I album. One can only hope.

can't wait for either!
