Matt Barlow rejoins Iced Earth !!

[mdread666]

Santa's come early - Matt Barlow has rejoined Iced Earth 

see www.icedearth.com

A complete surprise this - having seen them a few weeks ago supporting Heaven & Hell I thought Tim Owens was singing the best I have ever heard him, both for Priest or Iced Earth and seemed for the first time, comfortable in the band. Having said that he wasn't (IMO) right for Iced Earth, so Matt coming back is excellent news   

Be interesting to see whether or not Matt also continues with Pyramaze !?

Currently listening to Days Of Purgatory in celebration !!

Mdread, I'v heard a lot about Iced Earth and a bit bout Pyramaze, but I still haven't heard their music. Could you describe them to us in terms of groups that we know here in the Room? Also, what are the lyrics like?

I'm really not into Iced Earth, but I know A LOT of people will be very happy with this.

I always think it's a bit objective saying that Band 'X' sounds like Band 'Y' but....for Iced Earth think along the lines of power metal crossed with classic metal (the likes of Priest & Maiden)

For Pyramaze, I guess still think power metal but with a slight prog influence, perhaps similar to say Crimson Glory or Kamelot

Just took your link to Pyramaze on MySpace, Mdread. Was happy to see that they're Copenhagen based and several of the members are Danish.

Great stuff 

It's good that you get whole tracks on this site, so you get a fuller impression.
