ASHES OF ARES - Dead Man's Plight (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)

[@michaelspeer1686]

Had the absolute pleasure in seeing Ashes of Ares perform their entire Album during a storm in Virginia Beach, VA. I was going to see them in Richmond, VA but noticed their venue double booked that night; I let them know on Facebook and they booked a venue right down the street from my house! There were only about 7 of us out there to see them (as it was storming and they changed venues less than a month before coming) and they still gave it their all! Matt Barlow took the time to come down and party with us a little after their set... Was the best experience of my life!!!! Matt Barlow to the grave!

[@ComicalHealing]

Saw them tonight, They were awesome; Barlow is a vocal god.

[@NuclearBlastRecords]

Wow, glad to hear that!! Make sure to check out the links in the description to see where you can get your copy! ;)

[@Benaditus]

Iced Earth has been one of my favorite bands, mainly due to Matt's influence. He kills that mic with his awesome vocals.

[@billylechnir8532]

i've been a fan of Barlow ever since i first heard him on the Days of Purgatory album.

[@kazaakas]

Ashes of Ares is just the best of both worlds for Matt. He can still make music and do tours, but only a few weeks every year so he can still see his family. I travelled across my whole country to see them and they didn't disappoint. After the gig I saw Matt outside, but I was late for my last train home, but I still talked to him for a few seconds, I'll never forget that. "Great show man!" "Thanks brother, cheers!" I wish I knew he was there, then I'd skip the last band to talk to him longer...

[@shugganize]

I'm really glad Matt didn't stop singing! Also check out Van Williams being awesome on drums!

[@shugganize]

Cheers!

[@shugganize]

The whole album is good

[@AllToRuin]

It's a shame the lyrics are so cheesy. But hey, that's the power metal way. Matt Barlow kicked ass at PPUSA 2013. Welcome back!

[@shugganize]

Mike Greenwalt Yeah, it's a very common disease in metal these days, but at this point I really don't care what he's singing, as long as he still sings!

[@Validus23]

WAIT Van Williams from Nevermore is playing drums with Matt fucking Barlow??

[@samael1981]

Matt Barlow this is your calling brother! Superb job!

[@ΑποστόληςΤσιακίρης]

What a great voice!

[@FatalArrivalMetal]

Fantastic that Barlow did not unlearn to scream! So and not otherwise! The one and only Matt Barlow - great great great!

[@andrebreder666]

I liked what I heard. Barlow is a fantastic singer, and one of the reasons I became one day a fan of his former band, Iced Earth. I have nothing to complain about the production of this song. I like how it came out. Heavy, melancholy ... a type of sound that fit like a glove in the voice of Matt Barlow. I'm still a fan of Iced Earth, but I am happy to now have another great band to listen: Ashes of Ares!

[@bigtimreed]

Such great music....singing....songwriting.....love it!

[@Infinityize]

Saw them at Rock Hard Festival in Gelsenkirchen Germany .....awesome Band and awesome Songs ....Barlow is still the boss! Gonna buy the Album at first Day of release :-)

[@mikerules666]

A lot of Iced Earth influence...definitely. I have been a fan since day one. Matt Barlow is absolutely one of the greatest metal vocalists of my lifetime. I'm definitely buying this album.

[@tommystorm6710]

really awesome guys. Matt rules and the rest of the band is really rocking too

[@scottcampbell9059]

"On warrior's wings" blows this song out of the water and this song is pretty good! \m/

[@ordogofficial]

Simply great.

[@jimgraham4332]

Damn, Barlow still has the power in his pipes.

[@TimBurt0n]

Matthew Barlow respects and loves from Turkey 🇹🇷

[@SpawnRevenge92]

Well said indeed. I'm a huge IE fan as well as a huge Matt Barlow fan and I'm really happy to have both bands to listen to. It's nice to have IE doing what they do best and it's nice to have Matt doing what he does best without being a copy of IE. He chose his own path and it's a great one and I, for one, can't wait to hear the complete album.

[@MasterFreezer87]

Can't stop listening to this masterpiece...

[@twiztidlestat]

I REALLY didn't want to listen to any full songs, but what the hell, I'm getting this anyway day one.

[@scottcaturanosc]

Going to see Ashes Of Ares on Jan 29 at Joes Grotto in Phoenix,Az gonna be awesome

[@randomcrapnoonecaresabout6091]

I think I'd buy anything with Matt Barlow on it no matter what. However, I think this is one of the best productions I've heard come out of Morrisound. I'm SUPER excited for this album.

[@cwm180]

Wow, I'm so stoked for this album.

[@Sabbathman1979]

This is an interesting song that Iced Earth never made. Matt Barlow kills with his vocals. Great going!

[@brunolarsson]

Barlow rocks!

[@futuredeath]

Awesome!!! didnt even know matt was still singing!

[@athoxos]

Φωναρα ο Barlow πως παντα!!!!!!!!!! και τα μυαλα στα καγκελα!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SpawnRevenge92]

Love it.

[@4ElderScrolls]

LOVE!

[@DiegoPagliarecci]

Wow, muy bueno!!

[@gynthagh]

Matt Barlow has a very unique and epic voice. got all his iced earth albums and the one he did with pyramaze!!

[@Saggrisch]

It's so freakin' amazing how he still got "THE" voice...

[@Demonbane41276]

Best thing I've heard in a while...

[@nolaxwarxullicedearthfan]

This is awesome.

[@MrThat0neperson]

More of this please.

[@PierreCarette]

There is something special about that heavy bass line

[@singerprissy]

Love this!

[@evilattacker]

Not bad glad to see matt still singing

[@michelpereira1832]

Amazing! Mathew Barlow is best! Iced Earth Forever!

[@Broly0013]

Wow another spectacular vocal performance by Matt. Fuckin excited for the CD in the fall!!!

[@5150warpig]

pretty good, will have to listen to more!

[@Velocity4000fps]

WOW!! AWSOME!!

[@Thegrinch177]

Yea I agree he was and will always be Iced Earth

[@TheGreatAbaddon]

I want to like this more then once!

[@MetalChixRule]

I really dig it. Nice job guys! Hails from Nor Cal!!

[@AlaNLrdE17]

Please come to México, you're absolutely amazing!!!

[@Nattens767]

Sounds killer! it seems some people expected IE Part 2 but that's obviously not the case. Of course it sounds different and maybe not what they were expecting. That's the point. I'm really looking forward to this.

[@i.kaminskiy7563]

Matt is a badass singer \m/

[@NightNight202]

Please release this as a single soon!

[@twiztidlestat]

oh my god 2:24 that melody, and that Voice. BARLOW IS BACK

[@MegaAntKnee]

This is a really good song.Music is fantastic,vocals killer and some strong lyrics.***** that's a 5 star rating...I noticed the tour you all have lined up,lookin good.I just want to say that all my Best Wishes are with you all..Anthony Clark.

[@AdrienFowl]

I do agree!

[@Yoshimitsu43]

awsome works

[@OnurYemisen]

I just came here for Barlow :P But drummer is pretty solid too.

[@antonis2211]

Well...he played for Nevermore.Would you expect less ? :) Even though it's not close to even....don't know...40% this guy can do?And I believe same goes for the rest of this band.They will shine if they drop the cheesy lyrics.They will also write a lot better music to accompany the better lyrics and Matt's voice will use its full potential as well.Just a shoutout since this is the official NBR channel,in case they ever take notice in comments of their videos,to pass the word.Apparently I'm not the only one thinking this,and it's a shame cause they can do amazing stuff with that "manpower".

[@josephno1347]

Van Williams drummed for Nevermore he's one of the best

[@NuclearBlastRecords]

Wow, well said! \m/

freaking awesome!!

[@Infernalhermit]

I'm not stoked on the song mix/production but hot damn, Matt truly is on amazing form here. Consider me sold!

[@MasterFreezer87]

Well I'm happy for the news, they are awesome. I thought they didn't exist anymore because after Year of the Phoenix I totally lost track of them (even their official website is dead).

[@DiegoSanjorge]

I find it quite epic. Great lyrics, awesome voice line, great line as accompaniment, great rythm, different tunes, motives and phrases... Musically it's such a great song. Oh wait! It's a great song! Maybe you're boring.

[@NexuSeb]

[@alvarocarreno6481]

kick ass, que buena cancion

[@GasperGameplay]

Hail Van Williams!

[@StefanoGiorgianni]

Feelin' great 4 this album!!!! \m/

[@michalisterpandros6017]

Better song than anything Iced Earth created since horror show and crucible of man

[@JacobMinger]

It doesn't surprise me that there's alot of Iced Earth Influence given that two of the band members are ex Iced Earth members. I like it. It's good to hear Barlow behind the mic again \m/

[@lilithka1986]

sounds good

[@EloranOfLathander]

Μονο πονος και οδυνη το κομματι!!!!

[@corrupted650]

awsome

[@antonydabulac9939]

you're right!!

[@cabby007]

as a massive iced earth fan, this is epic

[@kambiz8321]

Come one guys, The best is Something wicked, though Iced earth is awesome in any aspect

[@mattcommnet]

I think Something Wicked is one of their best produced albums. But musically? I'm going with The Dark Saga

[@UndeadMessiah]

@@mattcommnet Days of Purgatory. Literally all the classics redone. Travel in Stygian is the greatest song Jon ever wrote.

[@mariannehageneder7536]

endlich.. love it

[@theochaos]

Nice Riffs... :D

[@RavageDionne]

Stu block does him some pretty good justice. I almost didn't notice at first that it was a different singer in Dystopia.

[@blindg1973]

No need to miss him. We know have 2 "Iced Earths" to enjoy.

[@Roadycore]

guitars could be fucking blue grass banjos and the drums played on pots and pans for all i care... this album features Matt Barlow's vocals. All I want, all I need. I mean that whole Pyramaze album was so so at best, Matt lifted it to something i still listen to today.

[@OtaAFocka]

Muito foda velho...

[@1878agony]

Love this fucking song! Bravo!

[@adamlinscomb347]

lol half the band is ex-iced earth. sounds almost like them. only difference is the frequency in sound somewhat. just my opinion. still amazing. (First Comment!!!!)

[@Bayllex]

+Adam Linscomb It's Iced Earth but without Jon Schaffer

[@gardedog3902]

+Spiral jon schaffer IS iced earth

[@secretsecretsson7629]

Iced Earth without Jon Schaffer would be like Motörhead without Lemmy or Black Sabbath without Tony Iommi

[@hulksmashhumans5766]

but barlow made iced earth music that you could listen to without it hurting your ears. Without him its just generic power metal with the typical girl singers; which i despise most power metal and i think most people do as well and largley cause the male singers trying to sound like girls. Specially these days now that they dont make intricate/different music. Hell even my last girlfriend made fun of power metal. Pretty bad when female sinto metal think music is too gay for them xD

[@TheDemoarchive]

love it! \m/

[@80sAxesRAwesome]

Holy fack this is just incredible

[@jordankowalski4628]

Matt Barlow is proof that a baritone can sing metal and kick fucking ass at it, too.

[@Fawazica]

full support \m/

[@aminxbr]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dementedshaman6136]

Stop comparing singers ... please. It is not science it is art. Stop categorizing and stop labeling. Just enjoy or leave. Thank you. Epic song btw!

[@NobleSavage86]

Great song! I miss Matt in Iced Earth....:(

[@pacoaraya]

Spawn!

[@MasterFreezer87]

Yep, and that's also the reason why Smedley and Vidales left the band... Iced Earth are ALWAYS on tour, band members don't have a single day for their own private life. No surprise Jon is not able to record 2 albums with the same band members.

[@NuclearBlastRecords]

The "thumbs up/like" button on the upper left should do ;)

[@northeromen]

Roll on 27 Sept!!!!!!

[@Godzilla2000312]

First 30 seconds I'm like "Yup I am gonna definitely buy this when it comes out." By the end of it it changed to "GIMME GIMME GIMME"

[@ArielEduardoAlba]

Are the T-Shirt bundles only for pre-order? I can't spend much money right now, but I do want to get the bundle!!! x'D I like the groove it has! I'm looking forward to it!

[@metalbornmetalbred]

Damn good tune. Matt's superiors at the Police Department must be the most generous cops in the world, always giving him time off for his musical endeavors. Does anyone know if he is still a full time Officer, or is he on reserve duty w/in the Dept?

[@UperMalakinCannel]

FCKING AWESOME ! \m/

[@MasterFreezer87]

Me too bro... unless Barlow comes back.

[@SigEpRooster]

Can't fucking wait.

[@metalman1414]

This is more "Immortal" era Pyramaze than any Iced Earth, but its still really good none the less.

[@HeadacheCentral]

Musically, sounds kind of similar to Dio's "Naked in the Rain".
