Over the decades, Iced Earth has been one of those Power/Traditional/Epic Metal bands that has been hugely respected, but for one reason or another they’ve never “made it” as big as they probably deserved. Nonetheless, Iced Earth has made periodic line-up changes and each time seemed to adjust for the better while continuing to knock out quality material. Their most recent album Dystopia introduced singer Stu Block, and optimism about the future was high. Unfortunately, in Plagues Of Babylon, the signature screaming vocals with sing-a-long choruses and solid guitar work is rarely present, making for a disappointing and bland release.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
