Iced Earth

Horror Show

good album

Review Score:

(10/10)
I've listened to stuff like this off and on for the last ten years. I really like bands that take you on a different journey with each and every song. I bought "horror show" because I like the cover art and the song titles sounded really cool. I'm a big sucker for horror movies and I'm all for incorporating the stuff into music. This is what makes Rob Zombie so much fun to listen to. Any how, I'd heard Iced Earth before with "Something Wicked This Way Comes". I've yet to buy it, but after this one, I think I will. These guys are great musicians and they have that sort of Maiden/Queensryche vibe going on.

It's a real shame that music like this isn't as mainstream as it used to be. These guys would have been huge had they surfaced back in the day, when metal was still metal and rock stars were singing about stuff other than teen angst, dealing with personal demons, and girl trouble. It's really great that there are bands out there who still play this stuff. They know that there is still an audience who loves music that is also an experience.

Well, you know what they say, "if it's good, there will be an audience". Iced Earth knows this and while this band of metal may be somewhat in the underground right now, I'm sure it will be back in the spot-light before too long. More people need to hear this. Opeth is another band I love, and they are finally starting to get some recognition. All in all, check out "horror show", you won't be dissapointed. It's a lot of fun.
