    Epilogue

by Poseidon (18.07.2008) Iced Earth are back! The single "I walk among you" and various summer festival dates with Judas Priest were impressive harbingers of that comeback: "The crucible of man" kicks ass - big time. From the bombast intro "In sacred flames" to the opener "Behold the wicked child": it is clear who’s the leader of the pack. Jon Schaffer’s ΓΌber-riffing, a phat and impressive production and above all, the voice of the returned Matt Barlow seem to say: home - at last. Other highlights: the mid-tempo smasher "Minions of the watch", the Schaffer/Barlow duet "A gift or a curse", the aforementioned single "I walk alone" plus the ultimate blasts "Crucify the king" and "Come what may"- those should catapult not only Iced Earth fans, but any given Prog Metal fan into blissful happiness. This is it - Iced Earth are unstoppable now.
