Iced Earth is an American heavy metal band formed in 1984. They are known for their unique blend of thrash metal, power metal, progressive metal, opera, speed metal, and new wave influences. The band was originally founded by rhythm guitarist and songwriter Jon Schaffer under the name Purgatory. However, due to another group already using the name, they had to change it to Iced Earth as a tribute to a close friend who passed away in a motorcycle accident.

Throughout their career, Iced Earth has seen various lineup changes with talented musicians joining and departing the band. Notable members include vocalists *Gene Adam*, *John Greely*, *Tim Owens*, *Matthew Barlow*, and *Stu Block*. On guitar, we have the constant presence of Jon Schaffer along with guitarists such as *Bill Owen*, *Randall Shawver*, *Larry Tarnowski*, and more. Bassists like *Richard Bateman*, *Dave Abell*, and others have contributed their skills while drummers such as *Greg Seymour* and current member Brent Smedley have provided powerful beats. Additionally, keyboardists like Rick Risberg and Howard Helm have added atmospheric elements to their sound.

Iced Earth's music has resonated with fans around the world who appreciate their diverse range of influences combined with intense energy. If you enjoy bands like Demons & Wizards, Blind Guardian or Gamma Ray among others from the heavy metal genre

The legendary self-titled debut of metal giants Iced Earth celebrates its 30th anniversary! Originally released in 1990, Iced Earth now returns in a brand-new edition featuring high class remastering courtesy of Zeuss (Overkill, Queensrÿche etc.).

Iced Earth broke new ground in the metal world with their debut album. Bassist Dave Abell and drummer Mike McGill lay down a solid foundation, Jon Schaffer fills in the cracks with his rhythm guitar, and the high-pitched wailing of Gene Adam’s voice and Randy Shawver’s lead guitar are built on top that base. Add all kinds of nifty breaks, time changes, acoustic passages, and keyboards as finishing touches and you have Iced Earth. The completed structure is something that borrows ideas from other bands, yet is remains totally unique. The music is heavy, melodic, dark, fast, and complex. Schaffer plays true rhythm guitar, giving the band its trademark sound. Iron Maiden’s “galloping” rhythm is quite evident, except that Iced Earth is a much faster horse. Upon its release, this album was clear evidence that Iced Earth would be a force to be reckoned with.
