The Day After Tomorrow

Iced Earth Plagues Of Babylon 

I admit that this is my first listen to Iced Earth so I am going in blind on this new cd by the power metal band. 

The first track is the title track off the cd and starts off with a militaristic march then rocks off into a totally rocking song. 

The next track Demoncide is probably has the best instrumentation on the new release and just has the singer really standing strong. 


The End? Starts off making you think this is going to be a power ballad but  goes back and forth between emotion and anger. That solo though. 

When Peacemaker started I thought I was listening to a cover of Simple Man by Lynryd Skynyrd.  From the opening riff to the vocal melody even the guitar solo. 

ince I cannot make a comparison to their other work or even know how the old fans will feel about this album but defiantly know that I have become a fan and will be checking out their entire back catalogue. If your a fan of Iced Earth then I say give it a listen and figure out for yourself.
