This IE horror show album always brings me up! Damien is one of their best songs EVER. And Horror Show Album is way underrated. Their best performance as a band, is there! I hope Jon can make his way again into music.
One of IE's greatest songs and definitely one of my favorites. Dark, epic, heavy, overloaded with feelings and the aura of the supernatural. A fcking brilliant and haunting masterpiece.
@@beastkotathix I hear his time in jail for the capital hill riots was brilliant, 10/10 he wouldn't recommend it and they cant find him to serve further summons for more court appearances. Total knuckle bump for that idiot ruining this band for me. I still have mixed feelings over listening to a ''Cooker'' SOvCiv aiding in the Falt earth movement on that day in DC
@@Jabba1625 He was an idiot for going there, yes, and it's a shame the band will never be back together again - I guess at least you can say he was true to his word, still wish he didn't. Iced Earth is one of my most favourite bands of all time, just a shame it has to end like this. I still enjoy the music and the stories they tell no matter what.
This is sheer brilliance. The atonal melody is the poem that David Warner (RIP) recites in the first movie combined with that brutal and dark riff always shivers my soul. Full of references from the 3 movies, the Sam Neill monologue in The Final Conflict with Matt Barlow emanating an evil tribute in every whisper and tone, a delight to any horror fan. A spine chilling music. Iced Earth at their very best. And Dracula, of course.
This is one of the rare songs that never bores me. It's been ages, man. And I still listen to it with the same joy and excitement. 01:20 that guitar riff and Marlow singing viciously "A beast resides in me". Still gives me chills. And the guitar in 07:12 omg what a simple but emotionally charged lead melody.
I've always wondered why you never hear of Iced Earth. It's weird, I only discovered them 10 or so years ago and I'm a huge metal head. Why they don't get more coverage is beyond me.
When it first came out I liked Something Wicked a little more . However it grew on me . Then I saw them during the Horror Show TOUR and fully concurred with you after that almost 2 decades ago .
So the beast resides in me Deep down I always knew I never really did fit in So diverse from all of you Let him who comprehends Know the number of the beast It's a number of a man A number just for me As the boy becomes a man Father's minions pave the way Set in motion now, Armageddon Final conflict, end of days I embrace the hounds of hell And the power they oblige For the task that lies ahead The Nazarene I'll crucify They'll see the raptures of our kingdom They'll see the truth to mankind I'll show what hell truly is The monotony of their lives When the jews return to Zion And a comet fills the sky The Holy Roman Empire rises And you and I must die From the eternal sea he rises Creating armies on either shore Turning man against his brother Till man exists no more Nazarene, what can you offer? Since the hour you vomited forth From the gaping wound of a woman You have done nothing but drown mens' soaring desires In a deluge of sanctimonious morality I was conceived of a jackal Your pain on the cross was but a splinter Compared to the agony of my father I will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcass You profaner of Isis Cursed Nazarene I will avenge thy torment Now Disciples of the Watch See your Prince of Darkness rise Through famine and destruction The Four Horsemen at my side I demand a victory, I demand your sacrifice Or spend all eternity In the flaccid guts of Christ! When the jews return to Zion And a comet fills the sky The Holy Roman Empire rises And you and I must die From the eternal sea he rises Creating armies on either shore Turning man against his brother Till man exists no more
Sean Quertinmont no he doesn’t. Also he can’t sing the way he used to. Listen to the 2008 live versions and he struggles like crazy. Always out of breath. Stu doesn’t have that issue as he is way more technical
I still remember vividly how blown away I was by this album when it released. I hadn't heard of Iced Earth up until that point and boy, I wasn't ready for this.
Great album. Vynil is just coming tomorrow. We love jon schaffer and matt barlow. If trump wins the election evrything will change for Iced Earth btw but politics is not the issue for me. This is really great album and we love Iced Earth. Hope new album comes soon. Greetings from Turkiye.
Steve basically never uses a pick. He just slams the strings with his fingers. This is probably his Rickie, and I don't think there's any effects at all, aside from maybe some chorus.
during the interlude, he says "cursed Nazarene..I will avenge thy torment" makes it sound like he wants to avenge the torment of christ. but in the movie, he said "oh Satan, I will avenge thy torment, by destroying christ" i get it that they had to cut words from that speech because the scene was 5 minutes long, but i dunno...maybe they didn't want to say "Satan" because they didn't want people to think it was black metal?
"cursed Nazarene..I will avenge thy torment" Jesus' torment upon the cross was a victory over Satan. He died for the sins of mankind, and opened the way to salvation by His crucifixion. It sounds to me like the Antichrist is vowing to avenge that victory, which according to Biblical scripture 'made an open show of (the devil) and took the keys of hell and the grave'.
THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED UNDER SUCCESS AND THE SHADOW OF SOMETHING WICKED.SOME FANS THEY FIND NOT SO GOOD AND NICE.DONT FORGET THE SAME YEAR WAS THE TWIN TOWERS FAIL.😢😢
Nope. This is all Matt and Jon. But Hansi does help with the screams in Among the Living Dead. Fun fact: Matt sings higher in this song (the backing track) than Hansi ever has. (Bb5 vs A5).
This IE horror show album always brings me up!
Damien is one of their best songs EVER.
And Horror Show Album is way underrated.
Their best performance as a band, is there!
I hope Jon can make his way again into music.
i feel entire iced was underated . even whin ripper owens , that album is in a hig level
The golden age of Iced Earth. What a great album
indeed and th gloruios burden for me too
@@camandal2176 The g. burden is whole crap against that record.
This album is way under-rated. I think it is one of their best.
ooh man, damien, ghost of freedom, the mummy one DRAGONS CHILD are you kidding me
so there is a film called omen , a song called damien and a game called lucius...
yes this album Something Wicked This Way Comes and Dark Saga are my favorites...pure masterpieces
Iced Earth in general is underrated.
This is their best release seen them numerous times this was my favorite tour
One of IE's greatest songs and definitely one of my favorites. Dark, epic, heavy, overloaded with feelings and the aura of the supernatural. A fcking brilliant and haunting masterpiece.
Have you seen “the omen III”? Just watched it and had to blast this song 🤘🏻
Iced Earth is one of the greatest bands of the world!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👽
THE best band EVER!!!!!!!!!
The best agreed
That bass intro is just... 11/10
Goosebumps every time
I wonder if John S got shivers from all the golden showers he got when in jail for the Capital Hill riots?
@@Jabba1625 Has absolutely nothing to do with my comment but thanks for that image :|

@@beastkotathix Same dude, I am fuming that he was such a MAGA Troll to his word. I am finding it hard to like a favorite band of mine.

A masterpiece. This album is perfect. If you're a fan of the movie...this track is a treasure!
Probably the most underrated metal band in existence
Totally agree. Them and Savatage i Think of.
Absolutely the most underrated, while Metalicka is the most overrated
D guess who jon got inspiration from?
I've always wondered why you never hear of Iced Earth. It's weird, I only discovered them 10 or so years ago and I'm a huge metal head. Why they don't get more coverage is beyond me.
@@Jabba1625 jon schaffer said multiple times metallica was his inspiration..some fans like u are so fn stupid
On the right occasion of passion, energy, experience, creation and skill, they made this masterpiece.
i can remember how bad this album was revieved back in the days...pathetic! Masterpiece!
Wait, it got bad reviews?
@@mikeoxlong1395 srbine!
Јашта, братац!@@petarivankovic-nw8pw
The reviews I read at the time were glowing. They're actually what made me check out the album in the first place.
Hands down their best album
Indeed!!!
3 best IE albums, Something Wicked, Horror Show, and Night of the Stormrider.
@@SefniAsheforr Burnt Offerings is #1 though
When it first came out I liked Something Wicked a little more . However it grew on me . Then I saw them during the Horror Show TOUR and fully concurred with you after that almost 2 decades ago .
@@SefniAsheforr Nailed it .
So the beast resides in me
Deep down I always knew
I never really did fit in
So diverse from all of you
Let him who comprehends
Know the number of the beast
It's a number of a man
A number just for me
As the boy becomes a man
Father's minions pave the way
Set in motion now, Armageddon
Final conflict, end of days
I embrace the hounds of hell
And the power they oblige
For the task that lies ahead
The Nazarene I'll crucify
They'll see the raptures of our kingdom
They'll see the truth to mankind
I'll show what hell truly is
The monotony of their lives
When the jews return to Zion
And a comet fills the sky
The Holy Roman Empire rises
And you and I must die
From the eternal sea he rises
Creating armies on either shore
Turning man against his brother
Till man exists no more
Nazarene, what can you offer?
Since the hour you vomited forth
From the gaping wound of a woman
You have done nothing but drown mens' soaring desires
In a deluge of sanctimonious morality
I was conceived of a jackal
Your pain on the cross was but a splinter
Compared to the agony of my father
I will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcass
You profaner of Isis
Cursed Nazarene
I will avenge thy torment
Now Disciples of the Watch
See your Prince of Darkness rise
Through famine and destruction
The Four Horsemen at my side
I demand a victory, I demand your sacrifice
Or spend all eternity
In the flaccid guts of Christ!
When the jews return to Zion
And a comet fills the sky
The Holy Roman Empire rises
And you and I must die
From the eternal sea he rises
Creating armies on either shore
Turning man against his brother
Till man exists no more
I want they return to this style
matt needs to come back
Sean Quertinmont no he doesn’t. Also he can’t sing the way he used to. Listen to the 2008 live versions and he struggles like crazy. Always out of breath. Stu doesn’t have that issue as he is way more technical
@@seanquertinmont2760 Agreed But I'll take em anyway I can. ICED EARTH kills it!!!!!!!
That main melody is SO good, especially on the acoustic guitar
This song is a journey.
Might be best track from the album i think so hard to say this entire album was near perfect!
Anyone who loves horror movies will love this album.
They are most underrated bands in the world.
Masterpiece.2020 and still can't get enough
Two big D's on this album... Fantastic stuff! Hail Matt!!! \,,/
It is one of the best albums :-) So great to heard it you feel energy
Listen to this when you are high, after all the munchies are gone.
With good speakers
That moment when you hear it from inside !
One of their best songs. That ending is downright chilling.
Epic song, epic band
Brilliant track...from a great album n band..❤
I stumbled upon this band and I must admit I’m a fan
Me too
ICED EARTH forever !!
Best. Album. Period.
I still remember vividly how blown away I was by this album when it released. I hadn't heard of Iced Earth up until that point and boy, I wasn't ready for this.
I have to finally admit....this album was better than Dark Saga. Idk how that’s even possible, but it is
OH MY GOSH I'M SO HAPPY THEY CAME OUT WITH ANOTHER ALBUM!!!
Did you remaster the track or something? Not that I'm complaining. One of their best albums, great vocals, great song.
Me and a buddy would play this before we would go fight back in the high school days! Fuck it still gives me chills to this day
Perfect song for the way the world is turning ... turning to a dark place fast...
Classic! Love this Album
one of iced earths darkest songs
Definitely. But the Burnt Offerings album has even darker songs
Dracula
The Chorus is from the movie The omen and the Interlude is from Omen 3 The Final Conflict
the whole song is about the Omen movies, right?
@@d68st90 Well yes its about the Antichrist in the movie Damien Thorn
This song is all about the end times we're living in now.
Welp things definitely didn’t get better 2 years later
@@kota1748 it will be much worse for sure
Worse than ever 😅
01:20 with that riff i feel like i could face an army with my bare hands
Awesome track and album
That’s my name
And I love metal and punk too 🤘🏻
The last minute is the best of this great song.greetings from greece.
Badass this song made me realize y I love iced earth
Cool track ! BTW, has anybody noticed that the track's length is 9:11 ?
My number one of all time. 👊🏻👊🏻
Heavy Metal incarnated in every second of every song!!!!
así es una gran banda inclasificable porque no es ni thrash ni power ni heavy ni Doom ni speed es lo hermoso de.esta banda
Awesome!
Omfg, this chorus is a freaking killer.... I love this song, Greetings from Hungary ! :D
Great album. Vynil is just coming tomorrow. We love jon schaffer and matt barlow. If trump wins the election evrything will change for Iced Earth btw but politics is not the issue for me. This is really great album and we love Iced Earth. Hope new album comes soon. Greetings from Turkiye.
Thankyou, Father finally allowed me to hear this! 😈🤘
that bass tone, I need to know how it was achieved.
Steve DiGiorgio. That's how.
+666dchristians777 did he play on this album? i know he's played in a lot of bands but didn't know iced earth was one
It sounds like he's using a pick and amazing EQ settings. Also, for the intro it sounds like there is flanger.
Steve basically never uses a pick. He just slams the strings with his fingers. This is probably his Rickie, and I don't think there's any effects at all, aside from maybe some chorus.
with a bass, an amp, petals, and a fairly decent bass player....
Incredible live
Ууу-х! Аж, мурашки по коже. Тащусь.
The first time I burnt my favorite lunch is with this song
I played this on my Phone now it's a *SUPER COMPUTER*
You're on the wrong song. You're looking for Lost Horizon brother 😅
Taking us back to when? 2001? Freakin Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Genial cancion
Super evil-sounding main riff
Другого и не ждал! Красота! Кайф!
The song that introduced me to Iced Earth! Damn that must've been 2006 or something. Never gets old!
good song
Best song from horror show
I agree with all of you, great to inspire me and others to RESIST against government austerity and oppression.
I was introduced to this by someone cutting this to the rise of the Black Lanterns and for the life of me I can’t find it
Best part from 1:58 till 2:23. And the ending very emotional!
during the interlude, he says "cursed Nazarene..I will avenge thy torment"
makes it sound like he wants to avenge the torment of christ.
but in the movie, he said "oh Satan, I will avenge thy torment, by destroying christ"
i get it that they had to cut words from that speech because the scene was 5 minutes long, but i dunno...maybe they didn't want to say "Satan" because they didn't want people to think it was black metal?
If anyone thinks this is black metal then they need their ears checked, though
"cursed Nazarene..I will avenge thy torment"
Jesus' torment upon the cross was a victory over Satan. He died for the sins of mankind, and opened the way to salvation by His crucifixion. It sounds to me like the Antichrist is vowing to avenge that victory, which according to Biblical scripture 'made an open show of (the devil) and took the keys of hell and the grave'.
@@jupiterrising887 I got that impression as well.
@@jupiterrising887This was my interpretation as well
fucking thrash for ever
This song can rival ANYTHING Deicide put out. CHILLING!!!
That's like comparing Black Sabbath to Men At Work.
Good song
Cool stuff
El mejor album de Iced Earth esto es lo que debe de cerrar el Mexico metal Fest y no ma ma das de mastodon y esas porque rias
COOL
EPIC !
The chorus makes my arm hair stand up like hostages with their hands to the skies....
The best Iced earth album
my first iced earth album
Have anyone noticed that the name Damien has 6 letters
Sing with me everybody:
"Mundi, universitas, flammescorri mi, immigreavi"
Put more songs up and I'll watch them and you can get moneh!
Seeing the thumbnail I thought it was made on windows movie maker...
Killer Sound, Damien is sobrenatural
Naturally sober
Supersobernatural!
Hell yeah 🤘
Wicked song
damien 😈
THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED UNDER SUCCESS AND THE SHADOW OF SOMETHING WICKED.SOME FANS THEY FIND NOT SO GOOD AND NICE.DONT FORGET THE SAME YEAR WAS THE TWIN TOWERS FAIL.😢😢
❤
НИШТЯК\m/
C'est un grand honneur pour moi que mon prénom soi un titre d'un groupe heavy metal!!!!!😀😀
Is this about The Omen?
Why this is not a Castlevania soundtrack is beyond me.
It makes me want to read Lovecraft
Did Hansi record a yell or two for this?
Nope. This is all Matt and Jon. But Hansi does help with the screams in Among the Living Dead.
Fun fact: Matt sings higher in this song (the backing track) than Hansi ever has. (Bb5 vs A5).
Lee Tewksbury who is hansi?
I know you are just trolling. Nice try, tho.
@@julianvaleri2220 He means Hansi Kursch of BLIND GUARDIAN)
ICED EARTH is great like IRON MAIDEN! UP THE ICEDS!!!
This song is named after me 0_0
armageodan is on us now
Jon did good on these vocals
I think this song has some bm elements, which makes it interesting.
How many Damien here? ✋
