ICED EARTH: Live Tracks From Forthcoming DVD Available For Free
November 3, 2010U.S. power metallers ICED EARTH have just made available two free blistering live tracks from their forthcoming DVD, "Festivals Of The Wicked", to be released in early 2011. Click here to find out how to obtain them (free sign-up required).
"Festivals Of The Wicked" features full-length concerts from several European festivals — namely Wacken Open Air in 2007 (with Tim "Ripper" Owens on lead vocals); and Metalcamp and Rock Hard in 2008 (with Matt Barlow on lead vocals) — a rockin' road movie, a long interview with ICED EARTH mainman Jon Schaffer, and more.
ICED EARTH completed a four-city U.S. tour in September with the following lineup:
Jon Schaffer - Rhythm and Lead Guitars, Backing Vocals
Matt Barlow - Lead and Backing Vocals
Brent Smedley - Drums
Troy Seele - Lead Guitar
Freddie Vidales - Bass Guitar
Jon's SONS OF LIBERTY band, featuring Schaffer on lead vocals, made its live debut on this tour.
Schaffer is currently working on a new ICED EARTH album (scheduled for release next fall) and a special project he will only say fans will "freakin' love."
To help him with his many projects, Schaffer recently hired veteran writer Bill Murphy, owner of PurpleCrayon Direct (a marketing and public relations consulting firm that specializes in working with people who make their living in the arts) as global publicity director for ICED EARTH and SONS OF LIBERTY. Murphy's first task was to create an official ICED EARTHFacebook page, and help Jon and his management team create clear and concise communications strategies for ICED EARTH and SONS OF LIBERTY.
Schaffer formed ICED EARTH in Tampa, Florida, in 1984. Since then, he has released 10 studio albums, one live album, two compilations, and three boxed sets. With worldwide sales topping one million albums, ICED EARTH has earned a seat in the pantheon of America's most successful heavy-metal bands.
