Video(s) of the Week – The Devil You Know & Anthem
This week’s first video is a collage of a year in the life of Anthrax. It is my personal favorite song on Worship Music, The Devil You Know. There is some pretty cool footage of Anthrax at Yankee Stadium at the Big Four along with back stage clips with fans, etc… Not a revolutionary video as far as videos go, but pretty good clips of the band.
The second video is this double video presentation, is Iced Earth’s Anthem. It is very similar in style of The Devil You Know, so I thought I would bring both of them to you this week. Although not entirely creative, at least you get to check out Stu Block’s stage presence in the band. The fans seem to be enjoying it.
Album Review-Iced Earth-Dystopia
When I first heard Iced Earth they came as a recommendation to me from a friend who knew I was a huge Iron Maiden fan. I picked up an album by them and highly enjoyed it (Something Wicked This Ways Comes if you’re curious). It was nothing groundbreaking nor was it anything close to bad. It was a fun album and it made me a fan of the band and from there I always stopped here and there to pick up another album from them once in a while. They have always been pretty consistent in quality releases with the exception of a couple spotty albums here and there(and those weren’t even that bad). I’m not trying to downplay or put Iced Earth in a negative light, but they have never done any record that has just outright wowed me. On their latest release Dystopia they have come the closest they ever have at blowing me away, even though it’s not quite there unfortunately.
