September 4, 2008

ICED EARTH's Los Angeles show, which was originally booked at The Avalon for October 24, has been moved to The Wiltern Theatre due to overwhelming demand. Tickets for the new location will go on sale September 6. Due to additional backstage facilities, there will also be a limited number of additional "Child Of The Wicked" VIP packages available at www.icedearth.com.

"It's awesome that the minions are gathering in force to see the band this fall on the North American Crucible, and I can't wait to see you all on tour!" says ICED EARTH guitarist/leader Jon Schaffer.

Karma E. Omowale of FourteenG recently conducted an interview with Jon Schaffer. Listen to the chat at this location.
