ICED EARTH - Box Of The Wicked Details Revealed

ICED EARTH - Box Of The Wicked Details Revealed







SPV/Steamhammer will release ICED EARTH's Box Of The Wicked on April 26th (Germany April 23rd, North America May 18th), limited to 10,000 copies worldwide.

According to the label:

While the 1998 album Something Wicked This Way Comes provided a general overview of the story, Schaffer has been conceptualizing for well over a decade. The saga is being fully brought to life with the release of the back-to-back conceptual albums Framing Armageddon and The Crucible of Man. While both albums provide answers to mysteries the previous releases would create, the timeliness of the story in today’s world is guaranteed to keep people thinking and guessing. Schaffer’s ability to convey the central themes and events of the story without always revealing exactly “why” characters’ decisions are made and “how” events come to pass, will keep fans of the saga coming back as future mediums for the Something Wicked storyline are revealed.

The whole saga is now included in this high quality hardcover boxset (height 13 cm, depth 4,5 cm, width 14,5 cm) feat. the original digipak CDs of Framing Armageddon and The Crucible Of Man, as well as the original digipaks of the EPs Overture Of The Wicked and I Walk Among You. On top the boxset includes a bonus cardboard CD with one song of Framing Armageddon now sung by Matt Barlow and three previously unreleased live tracks from the belgian Graspop Festival 2008 also with Matt Barlow on vocals. The boxset will be completed with a full coloured A1 poster and an additional 12 page booklet with unseen photos and liner notes.

This is a must for every Iced Earth fan!
