Tem notícias que a gente tenta, tenta, mas não conseguimos fazer piadas infames. Às vezes o drama anterior ao disco gera boas opções, mas com o Iced Earth eu não consigo pensar em nenhuma piada.
Então vamos ao nome do disco: é Dystopia. Torcemos agora para não ser ruim como aquela música do Kreator. E para deixar a notícia um pouquinho maior, aqui vai o tradicional comentário do guitarrista John Schaffer falando sobre o disco, publicado no Metal Storm:
“Just a quick update for you from the road. We had a great weekend playing at Sweden Rock Friday and the Rock Hard festival in Germany on Saturday. The band’s having a lot of fun, and today we begin rehearsing the new songs for the forthcoming CD, titled Dystopia. We begin master tracking in Florida in 2 weeks and will be traveling between Europe and the US this summer to play festivals and finish the new album. I can honestly say that I haven’t had this many songs give me goose bumps since we recorded Something Wicked This Way Comes, way back in 1998, so this is also very exciting.
As you can imagine, it’s a very busy time for us. I think we’re all having emotional ups and downs as we’re coming to the end of an era with Matt’s retirement, and we’re also very excited about the future with Stu coming onboard, so it’s a little bit of a roller coaster ride for us. However, we are having a killer time, and Matt is performing at his absolute best and going out with pure class and style, which is always the way he rolls.”
Resumindo a confusão toda: John diz que, desde o Something Wicked this Way Comes, de 1998, ele não ficava arrepiado com tantas músicas. Depois ele fala da saída do Matt Barlow e a entrada do novo vocalista Stu Block. Se você está animado com este novo o CD, cante uma parte da letra de Pure Evil!
