ICED EARTH Announces New Singer

In the wake of vocalist Matt Barlow's retirement, dozens of demos and resumes flooded ICED EARTH's management team. But one name kept popping up — INTO ETERNITY vocalist Stu Block (pictured below), who has been named the new lead singer for ICED EARTH.

According to Schaffer, Robert Kampf, CEO of Century Media, early on suggested Block, whose band INTO ETERNITY was previously on the CM label. That reminded Schaffer of one night in September 2008 when INTO ETERNITY opened for ICED EARTH.

"ICED EARTH was backstage waiting to go on," said Schaffer. "We heard one of Stu's incredible wails. I remember turning to Matt and saying, 'Damn, that dude has serious range.'"

So while ICED EARTH's management team sifted through the growing number of prospective vocalists, Schaffer got in touch with Block.

After several phone conversations with the then-prospective ICED EARTH vocalist, Schaffer asked his manager to e-mail Block several key ICED EARTH songs, with the vocals stripped. Block went into his studio and recorded himself singing, then sent the files back to the team.

The result landed Block an intense two days at Schaffer's studio where the two musicians hit it off.

"I felt a lot of chemistry between us, we knocked out a couple of great original pieces of music in no time," said Schaffer. "He's very good at coming up with catchy melodies, and will help with lyrical duties as well. There's no doubt Stu has an amazing vocal range and a lot of energy, but he also has the touring experience, which is a big plus for our plans of performing in all corners of the world."

In addition, Schaffer said Block has what ICED EARTH needs in a front man: "stage presence that includes high energy, passion, and focused rage."

Schaffer added, "Stu is charismatic and understands the depth and varying emotions in ICED EARTH's music. So he will embody not only the emotion of our songs, but he will be able to perform them in a dynamic way. I believe fans are in for some incredible records and live shows in the coming years."

New ICED EARTH vocalist Stu Block concurred: "ICED EARTH fans are wonderful, wonderful people," he said. "The music is so passionate. So they're passionate, and very loyal to the band. I am, too. I'm a huge fan of ICED EARTH myself. So I share that same passion, and I will show it on stage. I think the fans are really going to dig it."

Block continued: "It's a huge honor to be doing this, to be part of this team. It's a dream come true, for sure.”

Schaffer is totally stoked. "This is a new beginning," he said. "It's game-on time. ICED EARTH is going to record and tour like it never has before. The band is really amped-up and ready to hit the ground running in November."

And to prove it, ICED EARTH has released the European leg of a world tour that will take the band to countries it has never previously played. All told, the 2011-2012 ICED EARTH world tour will be the largest the band has undertaken since its inception.

"И чтобы доказать это, ICED EARTH опубликовали даты европейской части своего мирового тура, в ходе которого группа посетит страны, где никогда не играла раньше."

Например, 29 ноября в Москве)
Жаль что без Барлоу, Стю доверия пока не шибко вызывет.

*зеваю*
Пятый...
И это только вокалист. Весь остальной состав они меняют раз в год - минимум по человеку.

мдэээ

по крайней мере интересно что будет дальше с таким голосом

Очень сомнительно, что будет много гроула и скрима, а чистый у него особо ничем не примечателен, неплох, но какой-то совсем стандартный.

"Это новое начало. Это отправная точка. ICED EARTH запишут такие альбомы и будут давать такие концерты, каких никогда еще не было в прошлом группы. Группа на подъеме и мы собираемся по-настоящему зажечь в ноябре".

Джон каждый раз так говорит, а потом через год-два-три из состава уходит в очередной раз какой-нибудь прекрасный музыкант и поклонники впадают в уныние((

Хз с этим новым вокалистом. Группа его к Iced Earth стилистически вроде как совсем не близко. И как он будет тянуть вещи Мэтта и Тима - сомнительная перспектива. Поживем, увидим.

*хотя нет, глянул тут еще пару песен в его исполнении. Будем надеяться что потянет. =)

а почему Кори не пригласили?=(

Потому что он "голос поколения".

Стю конечно интересный вокалист, но впишется ли он в их музыку большой вопрос. Слишком уж "плосковатые" у него верхи.
Я втайне надеялся на Урбана Брида (Tad Morose, Bloodbound), но...
А вообще лучшим продолжателем дела Мэта Барлоу мне видился Михаель Сейферт из Rebellion, он бы великолепно подошел не только по голосу, но и по внешности )

Послушал инто итернити - шлак. Вокал - уныние 100%. Если с учетом этого всего следующий альбом IE выйдет хорошим, я буду офигенно удивлен.

Эх, действительно, Урбана Брида бы позвали =(( а так просто печаль, а не новость.
