Product Description
While the 1998 album provided a general overview of the story, Jon Schaffer has been conceptualizing for well over a decade. The saga is being fully brought to life with the release of the back-to-back conceptual albums "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible Of Man." While both albums provide answers to mysteries the previous releases would create, the timeliness of the story in today s world is guaranteed to keep people thinking and guessing. Schaffer s ability to convey the central themes and events of the story without always revealing exactly why characters decisions are made and how events come to pass, will keep fans of the saga coming back as future mediums for the "Something Wicked" storyline are revealed.
The Crucible Of Man is the culmination of the storyline. The absolute pinnacle of the American Metal Powerhouse s career, and happily the full-length return of singer Matt Barlow.

 None Better than Barlow December 3, 2008
Pure and Simple, with the return of Matt Barlow Iced Earth has risen from the ashes.
This album RULES!

I completely agree with the last 3 reviews. The bottom line is that Barlow is back. His voice for me is the perfect foil for Jon Schaffer's guitar work. Overall the song order and pacing are well thought out. Just a monster cd, enjoy.
Thank you November 26, 2008

Heavy. Flows better than the last one. Thanks for taking all of those short instrumentals out from between the songs.
Awesome! November 19, 2008

Firstly, I have been an Iced earth fan for quite some time now (I.e. 10+ Years)
I just picked up the 'Framing Armageddon' and 'Crucible of Man' albums after avoiding Iced Earth since the departure of Matt Barlow. Basically, the music no longer interested me and I found the vocals to be atrocious.
Pleasently, Matt barlow is back for Crucible of Man and it has paid off no end! This album is magnificent!
This fan is back!!!
P.s. I don't rate Framing Armageddon. The music is ok, but the vocals are rubbish. Very hard to listen to.
