Today we take a trip back to 1996 to the anniversary of the fourth album released today by Iced Earth called "The Dark Saga" for the track "I Died For You." .. .. Metal Wire fun facts: This is a concept album based on the Todd McFarlane comic book character "Spawn" and the character appears on the album cover as well. The band made appearances at several comic book conventions to promote the album and the band also played several shows in Germany in support of the album. While the reviews for the album were mixed the overall response was positive. .. ..

They shouldn't be in the echelons they tread with how lackluster their catalog is. This was their last true hurrah and it's often overlooked and/or shunned. This album is incredible. There are a few things that would knock this album down if the songs weren't so incredibly strong. This album's weakest link is the hilariously shitty vocals of Matt Barlow. Jon's writing style met its epoch on 'The Dark Saga'. This was as far as he could take it without stagnation (i.e. everything that's come out since). All the fat was cut out, leaving only the juiciest meat and yet this album is hated. Perhaps their fans are all vegans? Regardless this was a nearly perfect album albeit ruined by the idiotic vocal stylings of Barlow. Why do Iced Earth fans revere Barlow as a god? He really isn't that great of a singer. He had his moments on 'Burnt Offerings' but after he "learned how to sing" properly he became a James Hetfield clone. He ends just about every sentence/vocal phrase with and extra noise, like 'Uh', 'Ah' or 'yeah!'. For example "An empty Soul-AH, shrouded in darkness. Alone and confused, what am I-AH" etc... It was like he was trying to sing the 'Load' way with Iced Earth.
