Horror Show
(2001, Century Media)
Drawing from legend, literature, film, and perhaps even real life, individual
songs of "Horror Show" tell the stories of nightmarish creatures
like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy, all seen through the darkened
vision of Iced Earth. Also featured are the Wolfman, the Phantom of the Opera,
Jekyll and Hyde, Jack the Ripper, Damien (The Omen) and the Creature from
the Black Lagoon. Die-hard fans of Iced Earth may be aware of the band's
longtime fascination with the subject of horror; in the early days of the
band, such themes were tightly tied in with both the music and the presentation.
Thus, "Horror Show" stands as both a return to the roots as well
as a great step forward.
