Our Take

Band leader Jon Schaffer must have been feeling particularly frosty when he penned Iced Earth's sophomore album, "Night of the Stormrider." This icy blast of power metal is like a blizzard to the eardrums – relentless, unyielding, and a little bit terrifying. From the chugging riffs of opening track "Angels Holocaust" to the epic storytelling of the title track, this is an album that doesn't let up for a moment. Schaffer's guitar work is as sharp as a polar bear's claws, cutting through the icy wasteland of sound with precision and power. Vocalist John Greely brings a raw, primal energy to the proceedings, sounding like a Viking warrior howling into the storm. His performance on tracks like "Stormrider" and "Travel in Stygian" is nothing short of electrifying, drawing the listener into a world of darkness and despair. But it's not all doom and gloom on "Night of the Stormrider." Tracks like "Mystical End" and "Pure Evil" inject a dose of adrenaline-fuelled energy into the mix, providing moments of headbanging bliss amidst the icy winds. Overall, "Night of the Stormrider" is a frostbitten masterpiece of power metal, guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine. So grab your fur coat, strap on your sword, and prepare to do battle with the storm – because Iced Earth are coming for you, and they mean business.
