Sevan Mater proudly presents:

Iced Earth – Dystopia

Iced Earth returns with a 3D lenticular cover, front and back effect, a record product made for the first time by Sevan Mater / 7 Mater in a single piece and not simply applied to the cover with a sticker.

We are very happy to announce this novelty on the market that will surely become a sought-after object among collectors. New vocalist Stu Block (ex Into Eternity) brings back Iced Earth to their glory days, delivering us the best release since Horror Show. His unique vocal style can replace amazing vocalists such as Ripper and Barlow and that’s why we can look forward to the band’s future without nostalgic feelings.

The album is enriched with epic guitar passages, minimalist trash riffs and familiar stuctures we know from previous works by Iced Earth. The half ballad “Anthem” is extremely memorable, atmospheric and meant to be written in a simple and effective way, its lyrics convey the sense of uncertainty we are all experiencing nowadays. This first single is definitely one of the highlights of the album.

“Anguish Of Youth” is a well written and enjoyable song with its upbeat acoustic strums, it maintains the band’s tradition of including ballads in their albums, “End Of Innocence” as well shows this effort. “Dark City” gives some variety to the work, outstanding and diversified, while “Equilibrium” includes the best guitar solo on the record. And not to mention the best track of the album, “Tragedy And Triumph“, epic and unforgettable, it features a catchy chorus, melodic riffs, great verse/chorus transitions and an epic intro: anything we could like about Iced Earth!

500 copies in two editions (Marbled Red and Transparent Marbled Red), with insert, sealed with sticker!
