Iced Earth - 'Hellrider' (feat. Tim 'Ripper' Owens)

Δύο EPs στην... συσκευασία του ενός κυκλοφορήσαν προ τριμήνου οι Iced Earth μέσω της Rock of Angels Records. Το "Hellraider" αποτελείται από τρία τραγούδια και τραγουδά ο Tim "Ripper" Owens (τραγουδιστής της μπάντας από το 2003 έως το 2007) και το "I Walk Among You" από έξι τραγούδια (τρία "στουντιακά" και ισάριθμα live), στο οποίο ακούμε τον Matt Barlow. Το δελτίο τύπου μας δίνει όλες τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Entitled ‘Hellrider’ and ‘I Walk Among You’, these releases will include rare recordings from the transition phase between singer Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens' and predecessor/successor Matt Barlow in 2007 and 2008, a particularly exciting and eventful period in Iced Earth’s band history.

The ‘Hellrider’ EP consists of the songs ‘Prophecy’, ‘Birth Of The Wicked’ and ‘The Coming Curse’, originally from the album ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’ (1998), voted one of the best power metal records of all time by Metal Hammer. In late summer 2007, all three tracks were re-recorded, featuring Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens.

The second EP ‘I Walk Among You’ includes the studio tracks ‘Setian Massacre’, ‘A Charge To Keep’ and ‘The Clouding’ from the 2007 album ‘Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Part I)’, which were remixed and remastered in 2008 and feature the recently-returned Matt Barlow.

In addition, there are the live tracks ‘Dark Saga’, ‘Pure Evil’ and ‘Iced Earth’, cut at the 2008 Graspop Metal Meeting and also featuring Barlow. Both EP’s will be released on April 28, 2023 on various vinyl formats and will also be released as a two-in-one digipack CD and 2LP Picture disc combo!»
