ICED EARTH's new EP, "Overture of the Wicked", was released last week via SPV. The group's eighth full-length studio release, "Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Part 1)", is due later in the year. The CD expands the "Something Wicked" storyline first introduced in the trilogy of the same name appearing on the 1998 release, "Something Wicked This way Comes". "Framing Armageddon" will be followed in February/March 2008 by the band's ninth full-length studio release, tentatively titled "Revelation Abomination (Something Wicked Part 2)", continuing where "Framing Armageddon" leaves off. In addition, ICED EARTH will start its headlining tour in Europe in October and then will hit the road in the U.K. as the support act for HEAVEN AND HELL (Dio-era lineup of BLACK SABBATH) in November. The tentative plan is for the North American leg of the world tour to kick off after the holidays in January of 2008. The year 2008 will also see ICED EARTH spreading its brand of metal to Australia, Japan, South America, and Russia as well as headlining many of Europe's biggest festivals.
