  • Bio

    A true magnum opus and tracking in at over one hour, "The Crucible of Man" is a diverse, heavy, and shadowed soundscape that showcases the band at the absolute peak of its power in an illustrious career that has spanned over two decades. After fully absorbing, "The Crucible of Man," it would seem that the innumerable trials and tribulations main man Jon Schaffer has undertook over the decades as an uncompromising and never-totally-satisfied songwriter/musician were part of an otherworldly grand design that gave Schaffer the beastly prowess he needed to tell a story of unprecedented originality in metal music. That story is of course the "Something Wicked Saga." While Schaffer hinted at what was to come on 1998's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" disc, it wasn't until 2007 that the stars aligned and the story could be revealed in detail with the release of "Framing Armageddon – Something Wicked Part I." And although "The Crucible of Man" is the hard-charging sonic conclusion of the "Something Wicked Saga," fans can expect the story to continue in other media such as print and possibly film in the future.

      Iced Earth 2008-The Crucible Of Man Line-up:
    Matt Barlow - Vocals
    Jon Schaffer - Rhythm, Lead, Acoustic & Bass Guitars, Keyboards, Backing
    Vocals, Lead Vocals on 5
    Brent Smedley – Drums Вокалист,  вы поняли, кто. А Йон исполнил все на гитарах. Кроме отдельных партий, которые сыграли приглашенные музыканты. Кажется, в своей симфоничности группа поднялась еще на одну ступень. Однако мне вот привиделось,  что воздвигаемый монстр визуально стал терять куски мяса и превращаться в скелет. Что за дурацкое впечатление. Не от того ли такое мнение, что музыка группы утеряла в своей идее нечто важное – металлизм мышления. А вот вам №5 – рок баллада. Ну да, вот она перешла в метал балладу. Однако, как говорится - «ложечки нашлись, а впечатление осталось».  Будучи ярым поклонником этой группы, замечу, что работа эта сильна и зрела до такой степени, что даже перезрела. Закутываясь в тогу старого критикана, сурово замечу, что даже будучи давно взрослым металл-музыканту нельзя терять мальчишеского задора. Живой пример тому Лемми. Дай дядька Тор ему здоровья и многая лета! 5/7
