I heard about Iced Earth from some friends of mine and by howthey talked about the band, I was eager to hear some of their music.I first found some MP3s of theirs and listened to them. I immediately fell in love; this was a Power Metal band to be reckoned with!When the time came to make my first purchase, I chose The Dark Saga for two reasons: (1) Of the songs I d/led from their site, Slave To The Dark was my favourite, and (2) It was all about one of my favourite comic book characters, Spawn. I must say, I was not at all disappointed with my choice! This is perhaps the greatest CD in my entire collection, and I listen to it on a VERY regular basis. Both the instrumental and vocal parts of this album are astounding; no band can live up to the way Matt and Jon compliment each other, along with support by the various other band members. The songs themselves are as close to perfection as is humanly possible. From tough and threatening songs like "Violate" and "Vengence Is Mine", and "Slave to the Dark", to Angelic-sounding compositions such as "The Hunter" and, one my new favourite songs, "A Question Of Heaven" (complete with a magnificant choir accompaniment!), this CD will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions like you have never experienced before! If I could give any more stars to this, I certainly would! This is a MUST buy for all music fans, no matter what genre you prefer!
