Iced Earth samples met Ripper Owens

Het nieuwe album van Iced Earth “The Glorious Burden” is eindelijk klaar. De vocalen zijn verzorgd door Tim “Ripper” Owens ook wel beter bekend van natuurlijk Judas Priest.
Jon Schaffer had er het volgende over te melden op de Iced Earth site:

Well the album is done, and it’s not just done, it rules!! I have never been more pleased in all my years of recording.
It came out the way it was supposed to be!
And now for the big news, it’s Tim Owens on vocals and he did an amazing job! I know there were a lot of people hoping that this would be the case, and it is.
I’ve asked Neil to put a sample of 3 of the songs for you guys to check out. SPV agreed to letting me do this as long as I did not put the whole song up. I hope you enjoy them, I know I do.
I’ll be in touch soon with more news and details of the release dates for the single which will be called “The Reckoning” and the full length CD “The Glorious Burden.”
I can honestly tell you I’ve never felt better and am truly looking to the future with more optimism than ever before.
