I played the bass guitar parts on the single and we will be bringing Dennis Hayes, who worked with Tim on his "Beyond Fear" side project, in to play on parts of the remainder of the recording. He will be doing the live shows as well."

"Also, after many years of heading up www.icedearth.com, Neil Gregie will no longer be webmaster. If anyone out there is interested, and has the creative and technical abilities to be the new IE webmaster, please send your info and examples to webmaster@icedearth.com. Neil will forward the info on and we will be in contact if you have what we're looking for to be part of the team. We wish to thank Neil for all the years of work and time he has devoted to being involved with the site! You're the Man Neil!!!"

"We'll have some more updates for you in the near future!"

I am looking forward to this and the tour... been a while since I saw these guys....

Plus I am looking forward to hearing/seeing the new Tim on guitar.... I remember seeing Larry at the shows, he was solid... not like that hack that toured with them on the Glorious Burden tour.... I remember seeing him fuck up and the look Jon gave him was just evil! hahaha

The Mao loves you all!!!

I'm excited for this release. Ever since listening to "The Glorious Burden", I've been awaiting another album featuring Tim Owens, and I would love to hear this album.

Can't wait for this release. Iced Earth have just never disappointed me, always doing something new and interesting. And as mentioned, it's good to hear that they will be getting a new webmaster. Their old one, Neil Gregie, wasn't that great. In fact, Iced Earth possibly had the worst band website.
