Iced Earth - Travel In Stygian [Alive in Athens]

Through the flames I watch
As you plead on your knees
The reaper awaits
The ride that you take
Through the lake, lake of flames
Will decide your fate
Was all of it worth eternal pain
The path you chose to live in vain
The river Styx is calling your number
The hot winds of Hell breathe your name
[Bridge]
On the night that it came to me
It was like nothing I'd ever seen
A vision darker than death itself
A violent cloud straight from the depths of hell
And that's when I saw my destiny
As it approached I was frozen still
I couldn't move, couldn't scream for help
Out of the darkness it reached for me
And that's when it planted the evil seed
And that's when I saw my destiny
[Chorus]
Travel in Stygian
The damned scream my name
Travel in Stygian
I can't repent it's too late
Travel in Stygian
Hot winds blow upon me
Travel in Stygian
No remorse it's too late
[Bridge]
The henchman awaits you
Yes that's right, step aboard
We have a very long journey
You owe us
You got what you wanted
In your mortal life
Now your soul is in our grasp
It's time
Riding on the hot winds of hell
Traveling down in the ship of pain
I chose this fate no turning back
The river Styx has called for me.

By watching these live performances, I just realized how good the Night of the Stormrider album really is.

[@erwinj9697]

That part at 4:25 is insane how fast and tight it is. Few bands would be able to pull this kind of tightness off with almost no mistakes at all throughout the whole concert.

You sure you got your time stamp right? That part is the most straight forward part as far as the strings go. It’s the respite you look forward to after all the galloping punishment.. and the cue for drums to come in as he counts on the hats is straight 4/4 on a cliche picking pattern. Quite easy to glue together with the rhythm section. This is the least punishing part of the song, but it is easily the coolest sounding part 😎 All that epic rhythmic tension builds to an epic rhythmic release 💦

[@Disciple0fMetal]

One of my favorite live performances for sure! the sound is just perfect and their performance is incredible. Iced Earth in their prime.

[@Fr33dom35]

Pure historical moments right there.

[@modernmute9028]

Probally the best libe album i have ever heard. This song got me into iced earth.

[@arborinfelix]

You should listen to "Iron Maiden, Live After Death". That is on of the best live albums ever. For a really superb live recording you should also try "Alestorm Live in Tilburg - 2019 video" There you can see how good the video and audio engineering is. Stay healthy and enjyo Metal

[@kirat666]

probably? by fact, its the best fcking live album ever was created in the history of humankind

[@judasdeathcamilo]

These guys are a masterpiece

[@albandalipi6909]

From 4:25, absolute madness!!! Especially when solo begins, orgasmic extasy!!

[@NhanTran-ks1cd]

When they were young, energetic, creative and handsome.

[@pyton3502]

So awsome. This is like heavy meditation

[@johnniebe7645]

wow .. I was there in first row on both days ... and just recognized myself .. what an epic concept ?!

[@martijnbontje3989]

5.59 legendary !

[@modernmute9028]

5:12 preatty simple but is just the definition of metal. Just start on en e chord and go from there

[@novaseer]

It's second fret on Eb tuning, so it's actually F I think.

[@koeikankaratedocypruslimas9322]

4:23

[@richiesay2824]

I love Barlow's work with Iced Earth. I love Night of the Storm Rider (Album) especially. That being said, I don't dig the re-working of the opening vocal melody. Everything else rocks but re-working the songs intro takes away from some of the terror and buildup.

[@denianjoya5315]

matt barlow es un puto dios del metal sin dudas

[@rocknrollstoel1]

gast, wil je echt in de pit staan tijdens dit nummer en dat je meer dan de helft mist? dit is muziek waar je van moet genieten en niet op kapot moet gaan!!!

[@CharlesCorreia-bh8ql]

Mulher deixa eu bota só acabercinha.

[@trelohybrid]

@sskefka i doubt there was any room left for that :P
