If you're not too keen on waiting until the end of next month to jam the new Iced Earth album Plagues of Babylon, then you're in luck! The band and the label obviously weren't in the mood to wait!
You can check out the album streaming in full here via Spotify.
Plagues of Babylon is a nice change of pace with some really interesting, even extended compositions that stay interesting throughout. Above all the record showcases a band that seems to have gotten quite comfortable with new vocalist (and former-ish Into Eternity vocalist) Stu Block. Long story short if you liked the singles from the record then you're not going to be disappointed in the slightest… and if you didn't listen to the singles, then what the hell is wrong with you? They're great!
So thanks Iced Earth, for kicking off 2014 with a solid slab of metal! You can pick the record up come January 21 via Century Media Records and catch them on tour with Sabaton and ReVamp across North America in the spring.
