Iced Earth – “The Blessed and the Damned”
This best-of, 2-cd compilation of pre-“Glorious Burden” material has 23 songs that are an excellent introduction to Iced Earth’s brand of thrashy heavy metal. All the songs are good, and we have quite a few classics. Fans of heavy metal that has aggression and melody should enjoy this a lot. If you have “Alive in Athens,” you don’t need this.
