"Alive in Athens" is maybe the best live album ever made. Must watch!

One of the most underrated metal bands!

They built the Tampa Bay Area scene, what are you even talking about? Are you new to metal?

@Gorg0nops - LOL 30 years ago. Most kids today(including "metal" fans) have no clue who they are. You're acting like they're as popular as Metallica, Slayer or Iron Maiden. They're like King Diamond or Overkill famous...which isn't bad but they deserve better!

One of the most underrated bands ever! Love Iced Earth!

Pure Evil from this same live concert is insane!

I love Iced Earth, I love the years with Matt Barlow the vocalist. This was filmed in 99 in Athens, Greece, the live album is called Live in Athens. It was a concert filmed in two nights and is such a classic. Any song from this concert is a good one to react.

Iced earth is my favorite band. When I was in college one of the guys that played mtg gave me 2 CDs to listen to. One was Blind Guardian, Fall of Middle Earth and Iced earth title album. Needless to say they changed my taste in what heavy music was. My younger brother heard this and couldn't figure out how he was picking so fast, he started working on it and eventually got better and is now a phenomenal guitar player. Iced Earth changed both our lives.

If she loves Matt's low vocals, just wait until you hear his high notes. Try Travel in Stygian from the same show (Alive in Athens 1999). Edit: A Question of Heaven from their Dark Saga (1996 album) is another great choice to showcase his low and high notes!

This is their epic masterpiece, although they did a 30 minute epic called Gettysburgh which is also worth checking out. The rhythm guitarist Jon Schaffer will be the only constant you see in the band, he's basically Iced Earth, and the rest has always been a revolving door, but this singer is usually the favorite, and had two stints with the band. This song doesn't even show off his full range either, he can hit some insane highs as well.

Hope you go down this rabbit hole; so many good songs. The Coming Curse is another great one along with the ones mentioned above.

One of the best live metal álbuns. Alive in Athens

The banging guy with the glasses at 08:32 it's me!!! The live was held at Rodon club in Athens back in 1999

great reaction! I think you would absolutely love desert rain from the same concert

One of the best power thrash metal bands ever! And Mat Barlow is an Angel & demon singer, I love IT! After 9/11 he enroled în the Police forces and cut his hair.......

Burnt offerings, still one of the best metal albums. 🤘

You guys are so much fun!

You will love Dracula

I still like iced earth,Barlow has rich,warm,soulful voice with range,the band are unbelievably tight,a typical gig can last up to 2 hours

Hi guys. Listen to the rest of the album (burnt offerings), I think is one of the most powerful, beautiful and underrated albums of the metal (music and lyrics). And Matt Bartlow is a monstrosity thing

Burn Offerings, is also one of their underrated releases, and one of the Darker ones in concepts.

Burnt Offerings it' s a masterpiece and very underrated.

Iced earth is one of the best bands out there and this is a great live album

Epic band, epic song!

Iced Earth are INCREDIBLE. Like others have said Gettysburg (1863) is their monster 32 minute magnum opus. Damien, Dracula and Phantom Opera Ghost off Horror Show are definitely worth checking out. The Something Wicked Trilogy is widely considered to be the bands best, but my personal favorite is Travel In Stygian also from Alive in Athens. Faster, thrashier and just more brutal - especially the solo around the 3:36 mark. Matt Barlow was the bands longest tenured vocalist joining the band in 1994 and departing in 2003 before rejoining in 2008. He also did an album with Danish progressive power metallers Pyramaze called Immortal that is mind-blowing as well. Alive in Athens is widely considered to be the bands best lineup and sound and one of the greatest live metal albums ever recorded (which took place over two nights with two almost totally different set lists) and has been released in several formats including 2cd, 3cd, limited edition 5x12" picture disc vinyl boxset, DVD, and most recently the 25th Anniversary remastered 5 LP boxset.

Iced earth Dracula is another amazing song by iced earth Because of its deep low vocal intensity intro it just draws you in instantly when it starts

Great band so many great albums they had Dark saga which was a concept album about Spawn then for at least two records ripper owens sang for them ( Judas Priest rob halford s replacement ) they are the best at the crazy chunky wild rhythms

After September 11th happened, the lead singer left the band to pursue a career in law enforcement. He returned for one more album. Then also did an entire album with Pyramaze. And has also done two bands since. Look for Ashes of Ares and We Are Sentinels

Jon schaffers right hand

Alive in Athens is one of the greatest live albums ever made. Goddamn do I love classic Iced Earth. While you could do any song from this show, I would do the Something wicked trilogy from this show, 3 songs widely considered their best work, and a foundational piece of Iced Earth music.

Question of heaven is a good one, but it is hard to go wrong with any of their library big fan of the Matt Barlow era, but Ripper could hold his own.
