Iced Earth New album release date & cover artwork revealed!

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN (USA) – Although “Dystopia”, Iced Earth’s 10th studio offering, is not a concept album, founder Jon Schaffer admits there are unifying themes to several of the songs – and even an appearance by band mascot “Set Abominae.”

“I’ve always been fascinated by the darker side of life,” Schaffer said during a break from master tracking Iced Earth’s forthcoming album. “Movies like Metropolis, Brazil, and The Matrix resonate with me. The same for albums like 2112, The Wall, and of course Operation:Mindcrime. Their images of a soulless, repressive society stuck with me over the years. It must be the sci-fi fan in me.”


In much the same way “Horror Show” (Iced Earth’s tribute to classic characters from literature and movies) was born, Schaffer said his interest in dystopian themes in music and movies led him to try his hand at that genre as well – even paying homage on the new album to the movies Dark City, V For Vendetta, and Soylent Green. The end result is ICED EARTH meets the nightmarish offspring of Brave New World and Blade Runner.

Of special interest to long-time fans are two songs on “Dystopia” (the title track and “Tragedy and Triumph”) that feature the return of the “Something Wicked” storyline and “Set Abominae” – who, when last seen in “The Crucible of Man” [2008], had taken his position as ruler of the world.

“The opening song is a step back timeline-wise from the ‘Come What May’ track,” said Schaffer. “‘Come What May’ [the last track on “Crucible”] sets the scenario that it’s up to us and the decisions we make that will determine the future of the human race. These two songs [on “Dystopia”] take place at a time when people are in highly controlled prison-like city states, and their eventual emancipation in the closer, ‘Tragedy and Triumph’.”

In an uncanny case of art imitating life, Schaffer said Set Abominae fit perfectly with the general theme of “Dystopia”. “I remember it hit me like a ton of bricks in ’97, the whole Something Wicked story did,” Schaffer said. “I thought, ‘Man, this is going to be so cool.’ Many years later, we were on tour for Crucible and we were doing an interview over in Eastern Europe. A buddy of mine said, ‘You know, Jon, this whole Something Wicked thing could be true.’ I thought about it a moment and said, ‘Well, I don’t know about that. But there are some creepy parallels in contemporary life.’”
“So as I was thinking about all of the great movies, albums, and books with dystopian themes, I remembered that conversation and it occurred to me that the Something Wicked story could continue in a few tracks here very nicely,” Schaffer said.

Schaffer admits the recording of “Dystopia” has been especially challenging because of the band’s summer festival gigs requiring him to criss-cross the ocean numerous times.

Despite the challenges, Schaffer says working with new vocalist Stu Block is “a pleasure.”
“You just can’t ask for a better attitude,” said Schaffer. “Stu is so excited to be here. He brings a youthful exuberance to the band, which is a lot of fun. And he’s a real dude. He’s down to earth, and willing to try anything that Jim [Morris, co-producer, engineer] or I throw at him. He’s stepping into the shoes in a very natural way.”

Schaffer continues: “We’re opening up a part of his voice and a style of singing that he didn’t even really know he had. We’re exploring this whole new range. And we’re just getting started. I believe Stu will continue to grow – and has the potential to grow – into one of the greats, one of the guys that will go down in metal history. If he stays on this course, with the attitude that he has, his willingness to learn, and his passion, he’s destined for really great things. I firmly believe that.”

Song titles on “Dystopia” include:
Dystopia
Anthem
Days of Rage
Soylent Green
V
Boiling Point
Anguish of Youth
Iron Will
Dark City
End of Innocence
Equilibrium
Tragedy and Triumph

“Dystopia” is scheduled for release in Europe on October 17th, and in the U.S. on October 18th both via Century Media. Two bonus tracks are also being recorded for inclusion on special editions of the album.

The release of “Dystopia” will be followed by the most extensive world tour Iced Earth has ever undertaken. The European leg of the 2011-2012 World Dystopia Tour begins October 30th in Bochum, Germany. See below for the dates!

Schaffer formed Iced Earth in Tampa, Florida, in 1984. Since then, he has released 9 studio albums, one live album, two compilations, three boxed sets, and several DVDs -- the most recent of which is “Festivals of the Wicked”. With worldwide sales in the millions, ICED EARTH has earned a seat in the pantheon of America’s most successful heavy-metal bands.

LANDMINE MARATHON Unveil Cover Art and Debut New Track

LANDMINE MARATHON Unveil Cover Art and Debut New Track


LANDMINE MARATHON has revealed the cover art for its fourth album, Gallows, out September 27 on Prosthetic Records (pre-order it here), and also premiered a brand new track.

The Gallows cover art was created by UK artist Rob "Mid " Middleton, known for his artwork for Napalm Death, Extreme Noise Terror, Deviated Instinct (in which Middleton plays guitar), and more.

Landmine Marathon guitarist and producer, Ryan Butler, speaks in details about the Gallows cover art on this exclusive video, now streaming on MetalInjection.

Stereogum has posted a track from Gallows called "Cutting Flesh and Bone" -- hear it now!

Stereogum's Brandon Stosuy declares, "Gallows finds the Bolt Thrower-nodding death-grind quintet finally capturing the energy that's made Grace Perry & Co's live shows some of the best over the past few years... Gallows features the band's strongest, best sounding songs to date."

Landmine Marathon bassist Matt Martinez describes "Cutting Flesh and Bone": "Short and to the point, 'Cutting Flesh And Bone' is a relentless rager and will definitely become a live staple because of this. This song takes lyrical influence from the darker side of 17th century folklore, which matches with the brutality of the Bay Area thrash-influenced riffing!"
The Gallows tracklist is as follows:

1) Three Snake Leaves
2) Cutting Flesh And Bone
3) Knife From My Sleeve
4) Liver And Lungs
5) Dead Horses
6) Cloaked In Red
7) Beaten And Left Blind
8) Morbidity

Gallows was tracked at Arcane Digital Recording Studio (Exhumed, Nightrage, Misery Index, Phobia) and mastered by Dave Shirk at Sonorous Mastering. The album features the debut of the band's new drummer, Andy York.

Landmine Marathon will be touring the world in support of Gallows. The band hits the road this week for a tour of the Western US, teaming up along the way with Toxic Holocaust, Bastard Noise, and more, then follows up in the fall with a slot on "America Torn Asunder," a full North American tour with Warbringer, Lazarus A.D., and Diamond Plate.

Kerry King explains absence from last nights 'Big 4' jam in Sweden

Kerry King explained his absence from the latest "Big 4" jam yesterday at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden:

"I was supposed to be there, but they changed the song at the very last minute. We were gonna play the Anti Nowhere League's "So What", so I had rehearsed that song. When they changed it to "Am I Evil?", I decided not to do it. I haven't thought about that song for two months since we played it in California."

Slayer already missed the first "Big 4" jam on european soil this year on Saturday in Gelsenkirchen, Germany due to travel arrangements to their next show.
