ICED EARTH To Return To Athens In July

May 19, 2008

ICED EARTH has posted the following message on its web site:

"It's official ICED EARTH will return to the home of their most frenzied fanbase in Europe and the world Greece on July 20, 2008 at the Lycabettus Theater in Athens. It will be the first time since the band's 1999 performance at the Rondon Club which spawned the band's classic live three-album epic, 'Alive in Athens', that Athenians will be able to see Jon, Matt, and Brent reunited on the same stage. In contrast to those two cold winter nights in 1999, we're expecting an inferno this time around that will make Hades proud!"

ICED EARTH played its third show with vocalist Matt Barlow back as the group's frontman on May 11 at the Rock Hard Festival at the Gelsenkirchen Amphitheatre in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be viewed below (courtesy of "westerfilder"). Check out photos from the concert at Metal-Experience.com.

ICED EARTH's official web site, IcedEarth.com, was recently updated with a brand new audio interview with the band's mainman, Jon Schaffer. The wide-ranging 37-minute chat is available as a free MP3 download at this location (35 MB).

Audio samples from ICED EARTH's forthcoming single, "I Walk Among You", have been posted on the group's MySpace page.

With the framework for the Armageddon of Man firmly laid with the bands
2007 full-length release, "Framing Armageddon - Something Wicked Part I", ICED EARTH is set to launch the next installment of Jon Schaffer's "Something Wicked" saga with the release of "I Walk Among You" on the following dates:

Germany - June 6
