	ICED EARTH INTERVIEW
		Once again, Hansi Kursch and Jon Schaffer joined forces to create a metal album that combines elements of Blind Guardian with elements of Iced Earth, though in the end it stands apart from either of their main bands.
		Jon Schaffer and ICED EARTH are in an extremely strange place right now and the frustration is beginning to show in Schaffer's voice.
		Though it be a time of great transition Schaffer does see light at the end of the tunnel, particularly with his DEMONS AND WIZARDS project, and it is this light that he is focused on rather than the dark that is behind him.

		Schaffer, whose father was --what else?-- an army drill sargeant or some crap like that, had never had much tolerance for weakness of character and wimpy behavior in general.
		It deserves only that which Jon deems worthy, for it is his life and he will share his life with none other than him whose voice he hears when he writes songs.
		Jon, clad in a dashing uniform-like grey outfit, is giving Tim, who is wearing a sexy little blue number, a tour of his "Spirit of '76" historically-themed collectibles' store.

	Metallian.com - Iced Earth
		Iced Earth was formed as early as 1985 as Purgatory and came to the forefront of the scene in the early 1990's when pure heavy metal bands were a rarity.
		The band was initially dubbed as one which follows the footsteps of Iron Maiden, but gradually gained its own identity thanks to guitarist Jon Schaffer's perseverance.
		Schaffer and Barlow would relocate to Florida in 1998, not only for a change of weather but also proximity to the band's favourite studio and availability of musicians.

		Jon: I worked with his brother, Tom, on the first three Iced Earth albums, and Tom is a good rock engineer guy (very good), but metal is not his thing.
		Jon: Yeah, cause the drums were a big problem.
		The drummer on that album was not capable, Matt's voice had not yet matured, he didn't have that middle range so there wasn't as much melody as I would have liked.

		The story will cover 12,000 years of human history, and Schaffer hopes it will be a springboard for a series of comic books and possibly a motion picture.

		PROGRESSIVE POWER METAL: This collaboration between Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer and Blind Guardian’s Hansi KŸrsch has turned out to be more than just a one-off whim with this follow-up that is as satisfying as the band’s 1999 debut.
		While the duo has kept busy with their respective outfits, they found time to pen these 10 tunes that are (in most cases) stronger than recent efforts from their day jobs.
		They agreed on autumn 1998, when Blind Guardian had finished their Nightfall In Middle Earth tour and Schaffer was ready to present the first song fragments to his friend and partner, Kürsch.
