ICED EARTH - Plagues Of Babylon (Lyric Video)

[@sljedbenikknjige]

And this shall be THE PLAGUE wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. - ZECHARIAH 14:12

The crazy part about this is its talking about the plagues of Babylon, accurately showing the wars with the sea peoples and the birth of leprosy which was the final plague before the fall began. To showcase the past and still have a prediction for the future is a nothing short of amazing.

[@AliceInPantera]

Forget a fan, I’m a Matt Barlow disciple, but I will say...I have a strong feeling Stu’s voice is going to age like fine fucking wine if he continues to take care of it. He’s going to be able to hit those lower notes possibly even better than Barlow one day. Thank god we still have vocalists like this around 🍻

[@pineappleparty1624]

Meh it's ok but they are pretty "samey" with their music and it's just too emo for me. Usually metal of all kinds makes me happy. It's a rally cry. Iced Erath is the opposite. Not to mention it is usually really slow. In the list I would replace Nightwish very easily with Tarot. Helloween is much better than Dream Theater I think. They only had one good song LOL.

I feel strongly impressed by the Lord to give you guys a message. To the band ICED EARTH, I know you guys are patriots. I believe it’s not gone beyond God’s notice. And I believe he’s seeing your time of turmoil now. This is the message: God is going to send you deliverance out of this situation. Continue playing and doing what you must. But turn your eyes in faith and expectation to God almighty NOW and he is going to defend you and be your vindicator. Vengeance belongs to the Lord God Jesus Christ. Justice and victory belongs to the Lord. He will mete this out in his time and you’re going to see his power demonstrated in your lives. He loves you and he is defending you now. I speak this in the name of Jesus, the Son of the living God. Love you, my brothers. Do NOT stop the fight.
