Iced Earth

Post by Rusty »

I doubt many of you have heard anything by Iced Earth, but they are really good. They're a metal band, but they don't have that stereotypical screaming sound. They're lyrics are thought out so well and carry some amazing meanings. The instrumental is awesome as well. A few reccomended downloads are, Devil to pay(Gettysburgh 1863), Hold at all costs, High water mark (those three played in order are a story about the civil war), When the eagle cries, declaration day, burnt offerings, last december, Diary, and Dante's Inferno and many more. So go and listen then discuss.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Oh my god. I'm actually going to kill you.
I stared at the ugliest stupidass Iced Earth poster ever on the wall above my cousin's bed for like two solid weeks while I was staying in her room in Greece last month.

That is a pretty dirty picture. I thought you were talking about their cover work or something.

Fair enough. They aren't really the traditional metal sound though.

My friend Bob who is obsessed with Metallica is also and Iced Earth fan apparantly.

I've never heard any of their stuff. The only 'metal' I like is Apocalyptica... you know, the Finnish cellists.

I've heard them before. I guy in my class shoved his I-pod in my ear. Something that included a long interval of creepy talking.

I love metal.
Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!
