This is the same as me. I like their singer from the 1st album - Gene Adam.

Reminds me that I really liked the 1st Symphony X singer, - Rod Tyler.

Interesting, I greatly prefer Russell Allen tbh (Rod's not bad but Allen's vocals are just epic as hell)

I remember thinking Iced Earth (the opening track off of the album Iced Earth) was a parody song because the vocals were so odd. Then Stu Block joined a decade ago with his caricature of heavy metal voices, and I realized Iced Earth was just really into sounding silly. Gene and Jon made a new album together a few years ago where Gene sounds his goofy best, IMO.


Amazing.

I guess that genre salad description is close enough, but bottom line is that this poo poo is cool and has riffs.

Like what? I've got a soft spot for Iced Earth, when they're on they're ON. So if there's something similarly anthemic without being as chuddishly stupid, I'm in.

The first two Blind Guardian albums are pretty speed/thrashy too. And Persuader. But yeah they're European so not exactly proper USPM.

I am not aware what Joe Liszt's political leanings are, but at least his music seems to be just innocuous sci-fi stuff, so maybe he's not a total shitlord?

Bit late to the Children of Bodom talk, but I've never really listened to them so I just put on "Hatebreeder" - it's not my style, but it's catchy enough! My question is, though: the "YOW YOW" joke from a few pages ago, is that referring to that weird sound effect they keep using?

Nah Alexi loves growling "yow yow!"

I'd suggest Follow the Reaper or Hate Crew Deathroll over Hatebreeder for a first listen. The production on Hatebreeder is a little dry.

Iced Earth’s social media pages were in shambles yesterday and probably will be for some time, my favorite part so far was the comment from Piet of Iron Savior saying “gently caress you hard and never come back to Germany”

Someone made a gag concert poster for them, Trapt, and someone else I can't remember but assume did something chuddy. I had to laugh that 'one song' act Trapt got listed higher than Iced Earth.

Stu already posted about it and didn’t condemn what was happening. He pulled the post an hour or so after it was up when he realized it was a bad look / someone got shot or one of his friends convinced him to pull it down
