This new album I bought, The Glorious Burden is so hot and it sounds so good that I had to keep turning it up because, as you know, I think the best music sounds better very loud and I just lost my head.
The Glorious Burden is by an American band, Iced Earth, and it's a tribute to warriors throughout history but mostly American history.

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY DAVID CISCO
But it’s “Gettysburg (1863)” that makes The Glorious Burden worth the price of admission and sets the progressive metal standard for 2004 (and, maybe, for some years to come).
I guess, then, that what I’ve told you is that The Glorious Burden is a mixed bag, about half “take it or leave it” heavy metal and half glorious progressive metal epic.
Instead, I say this: heavy metal heads will love every second of The Glorious Burden, and progressive rockers really should check it out, because “Gettysburg (1863)” is a true prog-metal classic in every way.

With "The Glorious Burden," the legendary US heavy metal band have delivered one of the true heavy metal gems of 2004: an epic and conceptual tour-de-force that showcases the riff-mastery of Jon Schaffer and the vocal prowess of former Judas Priest singer Tim "Ripper" Owens.
There are a handful of songs on the Glorious Burden that are solid epic metal; Attila, Red Baron/Blue Max, and Waterloo are all songs you would expect a band like Iron Maiden to make, and Iced Earth does a fair job apeing them here.
The Glorious Burden is an album worth picking up, just to hear the ambitious Gettysburg.

 Review: "Iced Earth: The Glorious Burden" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
Listening to The Glorious Burden prompted a read of the new Gettysburg novel by Newt Gingrich, and that in turn prompted a recent re-visit to the battle fields of Gettysburg.
There's a good chance that at the end of 2004, when everyone is thinking about their "best of" lists, that Iced Earth just might come to mind when considering not only a band with one of the strongest releases of the year, but perhaps one of the most improved groups of 2004.
For instance, listen to his tender yet powerful passages on "When the Eagle Cries", or his forceful and thematic stylings on the symphonic and progressive magnum-opus "Gettysburg (1863)", a song that at over 30 minutes long is one of the most adventurous and mature pieces of work that Jon Schaffer has ever written.

The track in question is ‘When the eagle cries’, a ballad which reflects on the tragedy that was 911.
Schaffer has stressed that TGB is a ‘historical’ album, rather than a ‘political’ one.
Fair enough, but once the shit hit the fan with 911, one cannot write a song such as ‘When the eagle cries’ in the present political climate and not expect criticism.

After spending much of their career focusing on dark fantasy and similar themes, The Glorious Burden marks a turn towards reality for Iced Earth.
The album specifically covers events in world history, and because history is often defined by conflict and tragedy, the tone remains just as dark, epic, and powerful as previous works from the band.
Taken as a whole, The Glorious Burden proves that some of our most amazing and resonant stories come not from the imagination of mankind, but rather, from our real-life deeds, for good and ill, throughout all of human history.

His luck seemed to have come to an end last July, however, when Judas Priest announced that it would be reuniting with Halford after a decade apart and ushered Owens out the door.
Unbeknownst to most at the time, though, Owens had just completed the vocals on Iced Earth's latest opus The Glorious Burden after the band's guitarist/songwriter Jon Schaffer called on him to re-record former singer Matt Barlow's parts, which were deemed unsatisfactory.
Indeed, the material on The Glorious Burden is perfectly suited for Owens' forceful, multi-octave bellow.

Free from the burden of being “Rob Halford’s replacement,” Owens is much more confident and charismatic here, delivering a sensational performance as “Matt Barlow’s replacement.” Ironically, his air-raid siren wail is more Halford-like on “Declaration Day” or “Red Baron” than it ever was on the two forgettable studio albums he did with Priest.
Me personally i loved The Glorious Burden and i think that Tim Owens is the perfect edition to the band and i hope he lasts a long time.

While Iced Earth never sounded bad with Barlow belting out Jon Shaffer's songs, I think now that Owens is fronting the band, they've finally found their footing.
The Glorious Burden was originally scheduled for a fall 2003 release, but SPV held it back in order to build more hype around the addition of Tim Owens to the band.
The result is a beautifully packaged, double disc set, filled with songs with historic themes.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - ICED EARTH - The Glorious Burden
Schaffer needed a top notch singer to keep ICED EARTH afloat and there can’t be many who would argue that the band’s defining moment, the glorious „Something Wicked This Way Comes“ (1999), would have been severely restricted if Barlow had not sung on it.
It is a body of work that demands a better critique than I could ever hope to give it.
„Gettysburg (1836)“ is without a doubt the finest piece of music ever written by Schaffer and „The Glorious Burden“ should be purchased solely on the strength of it.
