We aren't gonna get more music from these guys for 7 to 10 years, 5 with good behavior

[@TheTeezmo]

probably never. D&W just broke up.

[@Swwatter]

@@TheTeezmo not surprising. Their 3rd album was sub-par at best. It had nothing on the first two albums.

[@Junkmeister]

Also the biggest problem iced earth broke up permanently. Because their vocalist decided to charge into the capitol. Now the iced earth label has been dropped, the drummer and I believe guitarist left and he’s facing prosecution. And even if Schaffer does some how escape prosecution blind guardian now wishes no longer to work with him(the mastermind and name of iced earth). Long story short (too late) Schaffer f@cked his music career.

[@Swwatter]

@@Junkmeister aah good point. I didn't realise the implications of all that.

[@metalcatgaming7422]

@@Junkmeister The vocalist didn't break in. It was Jon himself. The Rhythm guitarist and band leader. Only Jon and drummer Brent Smedley are left. Luke Appleton (bassist), Jake Dreyer (lead guitarist), and Stu Block (Vocalist) left.

[@swamplord85]

These remastered albums are available on amazon right now (the deluxe versions with bonus tracks are not)....I bought both albums, and can confirm that in this new mix the guitars are cranked way up and sound wonderful, but the vocals have definitely been pushed back/lowered in the mix....not to an insane degree, but it is occasionally noticeable...the acoustic passages sound great, but once the heavy guitars/drums start blasting, the vocals tend to get a little bit lost....not a dealbreaker for me as a longtime fan, but just fyi for those curious as to how this sounds outside of youtube....that aside, I’m thrilled to support this band and am loving going through these albums once again!

[@SefniVinalonn]

As it's been said before, this originally came out around the time of Horror Show. This was back when Jon and comp. still had more of a dark and sinister sound to their songwriting and sound as compared to more pseudo power metal style they have adopted in recent years. I've really enjoyed the past 3 albums, but I miss the Demons part of the moniker that Iced Earth was known for. Here's hoping that Demons & Wizards 3 brings back that demonic metal sound. I want more akin to this album, Stormrider, and Something Wicked than Plagues or Incorruptible.
