TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 From MetalKaoz.com Century Media will release the first four studio albums of ICED EARTH in July. "Iced Earth" and "Night Of The Stormrider" will be released on July 10th, "Burnt Offerings" and "The Dark Saga" will be released on July 17th. All four albums will come in gatefold sleeves featuring the original LP artwork. Layouts have been kept close to the layouts of the original vinyl versions as well. Each LP includes a 60x60 artwork poster and 180 g vinyl. The LP sound has been kept in its original form, with a special vinyl mastering of Patrick Engel, known from his careful mastering works for bands as JAG PANZER, EXODUS, TROUBLE, TOKYO BLADE or CANDLEMASS, delivering you the best vinyl listening experience of these US power metal classics. While "The Dark Saga" has already seen one vinyl re-issue in 2010 (which is a rare edition by now), the first three ICED EARTH albums have never seen an LP re-issue since their initial release. As prices have reached ridiculous heights lately, it's time to offer you these outstanding and influential albums for a regular price. The albums "Days Of Purgatory", "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and "Horror Show" will follow in the first quarter of 2016. Century Media's Euro store is selling all of them: http://www.cmdistro.de/Artist/Iced_Earth/175?Sort=13 Nuclear blast also has these available http://www.nuclearblast.de/en/products/tontraeger/vinyl/lp/iced-earth-iced-earth-re-issue-2015-.html And amazon.

gumbercules Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 My high school self would be creaming about this. My 32-year-old self, not so much. Pretty cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Oh man I can't wait until Something Wicked This Way Comes. That album is one of my favorite things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 These came in today and they look spectacular. Won't get a chance to get started spinning them until tomorrow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Days of Purgatory, Something Wicked, and Horror Show are up on Amazon for PO, with a release date in February.

ephemeral Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I really wanna get Something Wicked This Way Comes and Horror Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Horror Show, Something Wicked, Days of Purgatory up on Century Media site. Hit up the Euro site if you want the /100 clear. (I snagged all 3 because I'm a sucker) ~$119 shipped to the US for all three albums. Honestly not a terrible price for importing two 2xLPs and a 3xLP. Which it would have cost about $20 less, but it's whatever (fucking VAT is what did that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I know I'm probably talking to myself at this point, but I got shipping confirmation today on my clear copies from Century Media. These are on the way, with no delays or hangups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are on the way, with no delays or hangups. Haha...nah, you're talking to me at least. I've been eagerly awaiting Horror Show and Something Wicked. I've been meaning to pick these up, and I need to get on that. I just wish these were in the CM US store, especially since they FINALLY offer media mail at the realistic rate of $3.25.

These are on the way, with no delays or hangups. I have thought about ordering these from CM USA a few times. Iced Earth is ok to me, not a huge fan, so I just don't know how much I would listen to them. I love their album art more than the music most of the time.

ephemeral Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I really like Horror Show and Something Wicked. Was waiting for them to show up in the US shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 For those waiting for US distro, Amazon has them for about $23 each with prime shipping. I had to go for clear which is a euro exclusive because I'm a sucker, but if you don't care about getting the most limited variant/whatever, Amazon is a good bet.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 New set of reissues should be here Monday. I'll report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake5 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm incredibly happy that Horror Show was reissued...that was a favorite back in my teenage years. i'll be picking that one up for sure. How's the pressing/sound quality on these reissues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephemeral Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm just waiting for them to be available at my local record shop. Horror Show was also a favorite back in the day for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Jake5: I can't quote right now for some reason. The first set sound pretty terrific so far, but I can't speak to the U.S. copies as I went for the EU versions. That said, I did have to have them replace some because there were some pressing issues/bad QC last set too. Three of the four I ordered last time arrived very warped, and of those one set had a pressing error where there were actually bits of vinyl that had little divots in them. CM was very helpful in getting me replacements though, and I'm happy with them now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Finally got a chance to listen to Something Wicked...sounds terrific. Looks like they did better QC this time around too, everything at least looks flat and clean. I'll try to listen to the other two tomorrow and report back. I heard one pop, and it was on a lead-in groove on side 4, but I only gave them a cursory wipe down, not a real clean, so that's terrific!
