Iced Earth - Overture of the Wicked(single)

[goldplatypus]

New iced earth floating around the interweb right now. It contains one new song and the Something Wicked trilogy re-record with Tim Owens on vocals. I just completed listening to it and now I will proceed to give my review.

Review - Wow wtf Tim Owens is a one trick pony. All this guy can do is hit a falsetto scream, yay. He delivers absolutely, i mean absolutely, no emotion on any of these songs. In fact he completely ruins them. The re-recorded songs are similar in terms of the music either, they changed some shit but I really can't tell if it works or not because Tim Owens sucks so fucking bad on this. I'm genuinely pissed off with this release.

Yeah, it is fucking horrible. I got this along with Ghost Opera and King of The Grey Islands yesterday and it is weak. The Coming Curse is lacking the piano intro, it sounds more Arabian later on in the song, and Prophecy and Birth of The Wicked were butchered as well. Sucks Barlow left and is in Pyramaze now.

Ripper was terrible for Priest and now he's terrible for Iced Earth.
