ICED EARTH mainman Jon Schaffer has sent the following update to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"I just wanted to give you an update of what's happening in ICED EARTH world.

"We just finished mixing and mastering the [new] single, which will be titled 'Overture of the Wicked' and should be released in late May or early June. The four songs that will be featured on this are as follows:

01. Ten Thousand Strong
02. Prophecy
03. Birth of the Wicked
04. The Coming Curse

"'Ten Thousand Strong' will be the song that we will be filming a video for in the following months, most likely in June right around the Sweden Rock festival.

"I'm very happy with the results of our efforts. We've been really working hard on delivering something special to you guys and this single is just a hint of things to come, and it's freakin' awesome.

"We will be finishing the rest of production for Part 1 over the course of the next few weeks, with plans to mix in the early part of May. The title of the full release is 'Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Part 1)' and should be out in the late August/September time frame. The 'Framing Armageddon' tracklist will appear as follows:

01. Overture
02. Something Wicked (Part 1)
03. Invasion
04. Man's Motivation
05. The Setian Massacre
06. A Charge to Keep
07. Reflections
08. Ten Thousand Strong
09. Execution
10. Order of the Rose
11. The Clouding
12. Infiltrate and Assimilate
13. Retribution Through the Ages
14. Something Wicked (Part 2)
15. The Domino Decree
16. Framing Armageddon
17. When Stars Collide (Born is He)
18. The Awakening

"The working title of Part 2 is 'Revelation Abomination Something Wicked (Part 2)' and the tracklist is as follows:

01. The Sacred Flames
02. Behold the Wicked Child
03. Minions of the Watch
04. A Gift or a Curse
05. I Walk Among You
06. Harbinger of Fate
07. Ancient Rage of the High Priest
08. A Gathering Threat / Time Marches On
09. Sacrificial Kingdoms
10. Something Wicked (Part 3)
11. Divide Devour
12. Conspiracy / Pilgrimage In Guile
13. Come What May

"The final tracking and mixing for Part 2 will take place between the festivals and world tour and will have a targeted release in February/March of 2008.

"Due to family health issues, Bo Wallace will not be able to be involved with ICED EARTH. I played the bass guitar parts on the single and we will be bringing Dennis Hayes, who worked with Tim [Owens, vocals] on his BEYOND FEAR side project, in to play on parts of the remainder of the recording. He will be doing the live shows as well."

you guys are all cry babies, the new guy is a great singer, just because it Matt Barlow decided to leave doesnt mean the band sucks now.

I mean that's like bitching about the last million bond movies because Sean connery isn't Bond

Actually Ripper is horrible and I can't stand him. His voice is a C level at best. He's everyone's "better than nothing" replacement for amazing vocalists.

yeah well Marlow aint ever coming back, well atleast not until they piss off enough fans and then make a bunch of money with a return tour.

They should find someone else, that is true.

but personally I don't mind the new guy too much

he's not bad, despite the fact that he puts NO emotion into the ballads and he sounds like billy corgan...except for when he's trying to be Halford.

At least Barlow had his own voice, and put tons of emotion into the songs. listen to "watching over me" song written about someone barlow never met, but you'd swear he knew the guy forever.

then listen to "when the eagle cries" a song about a tragedy that affected all of us, and ripper displays almost no emotion.

the only reason i can listen to the glorious burden and enjoy it is the fact that musically it's one of schaffer's best albums....gettysburg was amazing. i just dont enjoy ripper being a standard, run-of-the-mill power metal singer

Barlow was the treasure of Iced Earth, no other voice would fit on the Burnt Offerings album as his did or bring that kind of atmosphere to the music, just incredible. I don't want to hear owens ever sing those because he half-asses it with his generic 80s vibrato, that's why I can safely say I stopped listening to IE when matt left, Barlow or break up.

Ripper has no emotion, no originality, and no definition. That's why he's nothing but everyone's good enough replacement. Barlow was an original voice that brought the hook to Iced Earth. Without him it's nothing but Schaffer's noodling with a boring singer.

Break.up.
