Welcome back Matt Barlow!
I like Ripper Ownens, but that's as far as I'm going to go. His screams are amazing and his lower vocals give me the chills... But his mid range is annoying. And that's why his verses usually suck. Matt Barlow, on the other hand, isn't nearly as talented, but he has such a unique voice that tells a story like none other. On top of that the songs on this are better then any of "Ripped Earth"(What do you think,it works?) From the anthem Come what May to the rocking In Sacred Flames, Iced Earth is back!
