Editor's note

Iced Earth's epic heavy metal and shifting lineups

A Florida band built on Jon Schaffer's guitar work and storytelling themes.

For a sense of their style, 'I Died For You' and 'Anthem' frame the mix of melody and heavy riffing. It's all there in those tracks.

They carved out a space in metal with albums like 'Night of the Stormrider' and 'The Dark Saga'. Songs such as 'Ghost Of Freedom' and 'Brainwashed' show their blend of epic sound and narrative drive. Schaffer's political views and legal issues often overshadowed the music, but the records kept coming through the 2010s.

Formed in 1984, they gained a foothold with their 1991 album. Lineups changed frequently, with Stu Block joining as vocalist at one point. They released albums like 'Plagues of Babylon' in 2014 before activity slowed.

Archive material and source history

Iced Earth formed in Florida in 1984, with guitarist Jon Schaffer as the main creative force. Their 1991 album 'Night of the Stormrider' gave them a foothold in the metal scene, followed by records like 'The Dark Saga' in 1996 and 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' in 1998. Songs such as 'I Died For You' and 'Ghost Of Freedom' became staples for fans.

Schaffer's outspoken political and religious views often drew attention away from the music itself. In 2011, he was arrested on drug charges, which led to a tour cancellation, though he was later acquitted. The band's lineup changed frequently over time, with vocalist Stu Block joining at one point.

Their sound leaned toward epic heavy metal with storytelling themes, heard on tracks like 'Brainwashed' and 'Anthem.' They kept recording and touring through the 2010s, putting out albums like 'Plagues of Babylon' in 2014. The group's activity slowed in later years, with Schaffer remaining the central figure.
