ICED EARTH Mainman's SONS OF LIBERTY Project Releases New Five-Song EP

December 23, 2011

ICED EARTH mastermind Jon Schaffer's SONS OF LIBERTY project has released a brand new five-song EP, "Spirit Of The Times", via iTunes and "other digital channels." Schaffer states, "We have chosen to not involve a record label for now. We wanted to do this directly from us to you."

Schaffer developed SONS OF LIBERTY for the purpose of spreading awareness about the current state of affairs worldwide. Jon's goal for this project is not to sell records, t-shirts or tickets, but rather wake people up and to get them to start researching and talking with each other.

"Spirit Of The Times" track listing:

01. Alive
02. Full Spectrum Dominance
03. Molon Labe
04. Mind Control
05. Spirit Of The Times

The title track can now be streamed in the YouTube clip below.

Says Schaffer: "It is my sincere hope that this EP will continue to spread brushfires of liberty in the minds of people from all corners of the globe.

"I wish I would have had time to write, record, and mix more songs, but with the intense and demanding schedule that ICED EARTH is requiring from me, this is the best I could do.

"On this recording, I was once again joined by Jim Morris (guitar solos, backing vocals) and Ruben Drake (bass guitar). Jim and I programmed the drums in order to keep recording costs down.

"As you know, SONS OF LIBERTY is about the message and the idea, but there are costs involved to keep it going.

"Though I still encourage you to make copies and pass them out to everyone you can, there will not be a free download available this time around.

"Due to my recording and touring schedule with ICED EARTH, I have not been as present as I would like to be in the cause for liberty.

"Please know that I stand with all of you freedom fighters in spirit, regardless of what race you are, what language you speak, or which God you choose, or not choose, to worship. I will be there when duty calls; count on it.

"The free human spirit is rising all over the planet.

"I've been fortunate enough in my travels to speak with some amazing and very awake people in the last few years, and I can honestly and gladly state, that we are having an effect.

"Continue to educate yourselves, think for yourselves, use your power of discernment, and most importantly; be there for each other.

"Good people all over the world can band together and make this a world of peace and prosperity for all of its inhabitants if only we truly connect with the power and will of the free human spirit.

"Thanks so much for supporting the cause!"

Released in July 2010, SONS OF LIBERTY's debut CD, "Brush-Fires Of The Mind", landed at position No. 132 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
