Desmondo's Daily Offering - "The Reckoning" by Iced Earth

If you are not down with the Earth that is Iced, I must pray for your soul. This band is the ultimate Power Metal giant and if you love Metal and do not know them.....you, my friend have committed a great sin. Tim "Ripper" Owens has an absolutely ridiculous vocal range and he once again showcases his Banshee howl on "The Reckoning."

"Ripper" had recently parted ways with Judas Priest to become the front man for Iced Earh after original vocalist Rob Halford returned to the almighty warriors of Metal. Tim's first album with the band, The Glorious Burden (2003), is an examination of many aspects of warfare and military figures who have shaped the modern world. "The Reckoning" is indeed a masterpiece and one of the higlights from this album. The riffage runs deep and the vocals are pure Power Metal gloriosity. Please enjoy \m/
