Free Music Review: Aside from Poor Vox, a ripping sophomore album
Hit: 5 Stars
Iced Earth is the type of metal band that most bands should strive to be like. When I say that, I don't mean that stylistically, but staying true to a vision and having full-tilt, balls to the wall metal. This record's only fault is the fact that it was released before Matt Barlow joined. John Greely wasn't an awful singer, but he just plain pales in comparison to Matt. The music on the album is just plain crunchy. Time for a list.
Track 1 - Angel's Holocaust - Pure Iced Earth right here. This song is an irrefutable classic. The Carmina Burana opening all the way through to the segue into Stromrider, this song just rips. Iced Earth doesn't get much better.
Track 2 - Stromrider - One of my personal favorite Iced Earth tracks, this sucker starts off with a mellow opening, then BAM! the song kicks in and rips the entire way to the end. For an improved version of these two tracks, you gotta check out Days Of Purgatory, Matt's vox just add so much more to these songs.
Track 3 - The Path I Choose - THIS IS THE PATH THAT I CHOOSE! Oh man, yet ANOTHER gem. Iced Earth just pulled out all of the stops to make this one of the best metal albums of the 90's. This song displays the bands NWOBHM influences, namely the mighty Maiden (UP THE IRONS!) meeting up with mega-metal band JUDAS PRIEST. This album just won't stop.
Track 4 - Before The Vision - An acoustic/vox piece, adds to the mood of desperation of the album. John Greely's vox shine fairly well here, he didn't have a massively powerful voice like Matt, but he certainly does an able job. The song is testament to that.
Track 5 - Mystical End - Just another excellent slab of pure steel from Iced Earth. Excellent Guitar/Bass harmonies here.
Track 6 - Desert Rain - One of the finest songs on here, IMHO, fourth to Angel's Holocaust/Stormrider tandem and the next track on the disc, PURE EVIL.
Track 7 - PURE EVIL - The title says it all. This song just tears all the way through. In an odd twist of fate, this song is almost a down point on the disc though because the vox cause the song the suffer, This song is PERFECTED beyond all belief with the re-recording on Days Of Purgatory. Although the song suffers on this release, this song is one of Iced Earth's finest once Matt gets a chance to give it his treatment.
Track 8 - Reaching the End - Title says it all once again, another moody segue that leads into the EPIC Travel In Stygian.
Track 9 - Travel In Stygian - Longest song on the album, this one is another ripper. This album culminates here with this song being the Stormrider's crossing the river Styx.
If you seek a true metal classic that was released after the 80's closed, you won't have to search far, pick up any of Iced Earth's music. For the listener just getting into the band, Night of the Stormrider is a fine place to start.
