Iced Earth - Among The Living Dead Lyrics

this is so good

The way this song works its way towards 1:50 I find really impressive.
Like it has more than one verse or more than one chorus I lack the talent to do that.
I'm a drummer although I did study some theory.

Song for the zombie Apocalypse

i love iced earth,but nope not this song.

Can we get another demons and wizard album? \m/ \m/

i like this better than 7 headed whore. I hope the new album is same as this one

Iced Earth forever !

Hansi's voice is so fucking powerful. He's the best.

I miss Barlow 😞!!

The screams of Hansi (Blind Guardian) in this song are fucking brutal !!!!!!

I'm going to play Left For Dead 2 with this song

@*****
no, but i may create it....
i have three playlists already

@*****
I was meaning i have done 3 PLAYLISTS, not that I have 3 SONGS.... It's a DIFFERENCE

This is fucking sick, that god damn scream he does is freaking terrifying as well as beautiful!

Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian) the king of raspy screams. He supports de voice in this song (and of course, he made the brutal screams).

I like this song, but there's something off with the mix. idk what, but something just isn't right.

i agree.. drums especially.

This song reminds of Jekyll & Hyde, especially some of the vocal lines.

+antoniusmetal the Five finger death punch song?

+Ross Maginnes
Iced Earth's Jekyll & Hyde :D

+antoniusmetal Reminds me of Dracula from the same album!

Sounds like they were trying to make a retro Iced Earth song with this one.

Is it the same artists who did all these paintings? They have a similar feel to them.

WOW! Powerful artwork, amazing instrumental sound and lyrics!

The guy at 0:51 has a fucking piano stuck in his face lol.

that wail in mid section, so fucken brutal!

Hansi Kursch. The best.

Is it wrong when I say this song's mix is very horrid?  I've heard demos will better production values.

Idk about this. I love Iced Earth and all, but this will take some getting used to. Shit now I'm two albums behind, I need a better job so I can afford some cds.

Jon Schaffer is a fucking weewee sucker.

WTF is with the snare drum?! Sounds like a TicTac box... And melodies are far from being easy... Just bought the album... Must get used to it.

CD (Plagues Of Babylon) in my bookcase, vid in my favs. Thanx!

I love how these guys always do concept albums.

cant stop listening the whole album, is just perfect

WONDERFUL ! GREAT TRACK !!!!

dat scream though

Is this the video

i loved dracula and this is another awesome addition to the iced earth collection of creativity and uniqueness 

The band with the most awesome album covers. :)

no doubt man.  i wish i enjoyed more of their songs (with all the line-up changes they're kinda hit or miss for me) so i could wear their shirts with pride.

I just wish they didn't change the cover for Burnt Offerings

+alfredoking14 this album is waaaaaaay better tha dystopia though. I miss Barlow

+alfredoking14 i honestly love all their albums the musicianship isthere and no matter the vocalist it fits and doesnt sound like a total change

Reminds me of Nevermore!

They need to do an official video of "the culling" on this album. Simply one of the most epic fuckin songs iced ever put out. Rest of album is decent, track one is better... but track three is absolutely, without question, just simply fucking godlike.

Boring album IMO.

Awesome!

2:35 looks like Hansi Kursh !

Yes, because it is ;)

+Patrik Vogel yeah, didnt know at the time, awesome!!!

great song !!!

\m/ kick ass

Saw the guys live on Monday here in Dublin, Ireland, & they were on fire, really looked to be enjoying themselves! 

This album has some of the best woah-screaming since Piece of Mind. 

Someone needs to do a music video of this song with cut footage from The Walking Dead.

one of the sickest songs out there

I don't hear Hansi Kürsch vocal except "o-o-o" screams at 2:30 and 4:50, but he's credited as guest lead vocal not backing vocals on this song...

Hidden well back in the mix, it sounds like.

Into Eternity  : (

So I know where I'm going to be on April 14. Iced Earth and Sabaton!?!? FUCKING RIGHT!!!

Now we're fucking talking...

I dont like vocal and drums!

Gran banda los de iced earth espero verles en abril 28 st Petersburg fl yeah

16.04.2014 Montreal, QC - Corona Theatre il come for sure .. with the Red Moon..lol

Stu is better than his vocals on this song. Still, great riffs, sounds like an old-school IE song, like something off Burnt Offerings.

Hansi 

I love Stu Block's voice, but this was a rather poor vocal performance from him. 

I disagree.

this Hansi singing, from Blind Guardian 

@Lovely Destruction
He only does the backups

@Malikarcanum Hansi actually takes the lead for this song with Stu.

I never want to see an ad for Five Finger Death Punch before an Iced Earth video again.

Why?! They are good too!

+Jordan Kay Get out...

I like Lift Me Up, but that has a lot to do with Rob Halford providing vocals on that song. Yeah, I do not care for FFDP otherwise.

I like both bands, whats the problem?

There I am walking into a record store looking at 1st LP cover artwork on vinyl (slipped disc was the store /ny).. How can a young metal head not buy it ...liked everything since & this new stuff def has an old vibe to it .. Just as all the great bands trying do going back to the style that got them known

Just bought my VIP package for London!!!!!!!! \m/

maybe heretiv but I have to ask:
Is that Stu in the Creaming Parts?
It soonds so much like Hansi ^.^
But anyway, it IS a great song! thank you for making me belive that Metal is not dead!
Cheers Bro's :)

Lol creaming parts Rawr XD

I must be the only person that likes all of Iced Earth's singers. At least, it feels that way sometimes.

I'm not sure if I like this... I love Iced Earth but this specific track just doesn't get me. Still waiting to listen to the whole album.

I love Matt Barlow, he was perfect for the time he was with Iced Earth and Stu's great too. I'm a huge Iced Earth and Demons &Wizards fan. This sounds GREAT and I'm hoping to catch them in San Francisco in 2014!!!! Definitely getting this asap btw!

I meant 2014! :)

Amazing song, Iced Earth is the Best\m/ Everything is perfect from riffs to vocal and really cool lead guitar...

expected more..

Excelente música!!

Thirteen people are lost and confused!

HELL YES

Another unnecessary intro, rest is beautiful.

i was like is iced earth doing Death metal now ?! judging from the art it's way darker than before.

Kick Ass

The slide guitar work is a new trick for Iced Earth, yet it fits nicely! This is another badass tune!

22 De Marzo wn! Ahí vamos!!

I've stopped my porn to see this :D

why isnt that on itunes yet??? I NEED ICED EARTH NOW !!!!

Metalmoser still not on itunes

awesome song 

Stu is a great vocalist. The problem is that Jon has lost his ability to write good riffs.
Ultra-speed thrash picking was Iced Earths trademark an now this? Sounds like random boring american "modern heavy metal" band if you ask me, Call me whatever you like but I really wish that Horror Show would be their last album.

This is still the best song from the album.

So excited to see these guys on tour with Sabaton this spring. My two favorite power metal bands together. 

Iced Earth is not power metal. It was, maybe, when Ripper was the vocalist.

@Dorobantu Mihai WHAT!?

Also getting the instrumental Demons & Wizards vibe, while hearing Burnt Offerings in the vocals. Better than Plagues in my opinion.

Athens 31/1 we'll be there!

Awsome first time listening but I think I will be listening a lot more now this song is just to cool

Very good mix of the newish Stu style and the Burnt Offerings/NotSR riffing. Like it so far

While I love iced earth and their music I wish Matthew Barlow would come back to sing for them

@*****
I doubt we'll ever see Matt back, especially after Iced Earth's management said he was retiring when he left, when in actual fact, according to Matt himself, that either Jon or management wanted to tour more. Matt's return was under the condition that they toured around his work schedule. I love Matt, but I love Stu just as much. I feel he sounds, for lack of a better word, a "hybrid" of Matt and Tim Owens, especially on Dystopia. Either way, I look forward to PoB, and meeting them again in May :)

This is fucking rad! Sounds like it could belong on Horror Show (the movie theme could even be relative to Romero's classic film). I stopped listening around The Glorious Burden, but I think I'm gonna get back into these guys again...mad fucking props for this shit!

that's when I stopped listening as well. I totally recommend dystopia though, that's a fantastic album!

@Discipleofbabylon I've started listening again after hearing this record. Caught up and such. I actually (despite only enjoying about half of the Glorious Burden) really liked Framing Armageddon a lot. Part 2 was a bit lack-luster, especially for Barlow's return, but still a good record.

"Worst thing to happen to Iced Earth" is harsh, my dear metal "fan". You don't even realize...haha I could BE Stu...or Jon (if my profile pic didn't suggest otherwise). I HATE people being negative on bands they claim to be fans of. I have been a huge Barlow fan since '96. And yet I say...Stu is incredible, and I accept him. Now doesn't make yesterday go away. And I dare say Iced showed up on your doorstep in person to play you a private concert, you'd be kissing his ass and asking him how he does what he does. The dude just lost his Mom for God's sake. Drop the negativity.

people can hate whatever they want from whomever they want. the difference is expressing it as constructive criticism rather than a bunch of harsh words that don't help anyone. criticism is extremely, extremely important when expressed correctly, and no one should ever be censored for doing so.

@skyseason
Yes. But that WAS harsh. But someone like me WILL retaliate. I hate (like I said) people raining on others obvious positive parades. And being a formerly successful metal musician...lets just say your opinion opens WIDELY when meeting the bands in person and TRYING to see what they are attempting, musically. You know...he now knows what was said, by the way. You NEVER know who you're talking to on here. Don't be clumsy, and continue to fly the metal flag high. Pokemon.

If this is the original mix..it sounds like shit..sorry

That's deliberate. It gives it an appropriately dirty, sludgey texture.

Los vi en directo sin conocerlos demasiado y me "convencieron" para seguirlos

I love the intro, it has a very black metal feel to it :D Iced Earth really are back to their roots; this song sounds like something from Night of the Stormrider or Burnt Offerings :D

Seriously, if you're that stereotypical, then what the fuck are you doing in the comment section of an Iced Earth video?

@David Szalai Having fun listening to the new material of one of the first bands I liked in metal? That pretty much sums it up, yea. Espescially the "having fun" part. Being a black metal fan didn't amputate my sense of humour.

oh yeah, whatta great track, Stu's vocals sound really amazing!

Ela kalo einai cameo kai apo hansi twn blind guardian epishs


I brenden Zaichkoski love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! I love it!

YES!!! Iced Earth is one of my top favorite bands of all time, and it's great to hear a different formula, but still unmistakably Iced Earth! Stu is 100% the best man for them NOW, in this time period in the band's existence. (I hear a kind-of Demons And Wizards flavor here, which is awesome!) So Iced Earth is a win/win for me. Give me the same sound I know and love; or give me a kickass surprise! Long live Iced Earth!

@lClaudiohl
LMFAO! And *Homer* is a Simpson's character...Dude...it's the garden in which Christ wept. But yes...centuries later, it is a Nightwish song. But when I'm not depressing and demonizing my quarters with horrid blackness, my hetero side likes to hear Tarja's angelsong as I imagine her seducing me. Or when my horrid old school death metal ceases, maybe a nice Tori Amos song...So fucking what? I'm the one kids are trying to impress. These negative Nancies on here have nearly 3 decades of metal loyalty behind them? Can they contact the very musicians they are dissing? I'm openminded. I really don't even belong on stupid Trolltube. But alas, the label that records my extreme metal likes it that I have a channel.

@lClaudiohl
Also - sorry if my reply is defensive. These "expert, trained singers suck 'cause they're not the old guy I wanna hear" kids are pissin' me off. >.<
I see you listen to Leaves Eyes and Blind Guardian. Cheers for liking whatever you fucking want. Fantasy has quite the place in the adult mind...whether thou art brutal or not. lol

@PriestofGethsemane You see im from Brazil and not even a christian so I guess people call that place differently around here. For me it was just a NightWish song. And btw I actually only listened to one song of Leaves Eyes Im not that much into ultra heavy/dark stuff the sound annoys me. Try this : ICED EARTH - Among The Living Dead (OFFICIAL ALBUM TRACK)

@lClaudiohl hehe 

Yes thing song has a bit of everything they did in the past. Really looking forward this album. The previous one was an adaptation album for Stu i guess lets see his full potential !

Stu is really coming into his own on here. less Barlow worship, really just sounding like his own self, while expanding what he can do. He's more then just a death growler/halford high guy with barlow copying. this is sounding great. filling in the missing spaces in his range here. he really is a hybrid vocalist. 

touches of Night of the Stormrider/Burnt Offerings here...

Not bad :/

This really has a Burnt Offerings vibe to it, but with a touch of Stu. This album is going to be really interesting!

These guys deliver 100% every single time. I love the Burnt Offerings flavour on this one, and it looks like the album is gonna have similar sound to Burnt Offerings. Simple words cannot express how much i love them. In an age where most bands sell out or change their sound or keep doing the same thing over and over again, Iced have remained fresh and original. And with Stu as the driving force their future looks badass at best!

apla FANTASTIKO...! I love you guys :)  You made my day again!

04.02.2014. - Belgrade,Serbia! \m/

I can hear some "Burnt Offerings" here + Screams of Hansi in 2:30 and 4:50 JUST UNBELIEVABLE! Shaffer should change his last name to Riffer!

Oh shit I _knew_ I recognized that scream!  So now we've heard a new track that's heavy, dark, catchy, bombastic _and_ fast!  This has truly been a wise pre-order investment. =D
