ICED EARTH VOCALIST MATT BARLOW RETIRES FROM THE BAND, RELEASES EMOTIONAL STATEMENT
GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN (USA) – Long-time vocalist Matt Barlow has retired from Iced Earth.
In his heartfelt statement, Barlow cites his commitment to his family and the need for Iced Earth to tour more as the reasons for his retirement; however, he has committed to perform with Iced Earth on all 2011 European festival dates, which will be his last with the band.
Matt Barlow’s official statement is as follows:
“Brothers and Sisters,
“Let me begin by saying how much of an honor it has been to share my time in Iced Earth with Jon and the guys…and with all of you! Since my return to the band in 2007, it has truly been extraordinary. I have had the opportunity to travel the world and see old friends and meet new ones. Though we had originally thought that the Iced Earth touring schedule would be very limited, we were able to play our fair share of concerts.
“During that time we were also able to have a live DVD produced [the forthcoming Festivals of the Wicked]. However, due to the rapidly changing music industry, it has become increasingly clear to recording artists that the only way to keep a band viable and to truly reach its potential is through live performances. That means that a band must reach out to new regions of the globe and become pioneers for their own livelihood. Since 2007, Jon and I have always had the best intentions for the future of Iced Earth, and we still do. However, given the band’s projected touring schedule, Iced Earth’s future and mine must now take separate paths.
“On my departure from Iced Earth in 2003, I made a commitment to my wife and to the idea that we would start, and raise, our family together. Two years later, my first child was born and two years after that, my second. My youngest son was born about a week before Jon asked me to return to Iced Earth. It was a very exciting and emotional time for all of us, but we were all clear on our intentions. It is apparent to us now that regardless of our belief at that time, time can change an intended outcome. In this instance, I hope that change will not be regarded as a bad thing, but rather as a necessary part of evolution.
“Jon and the band must venture into new realms to continue to grow Iced Earth. I commend him for his ideals and wish nothing but to share in his vision. I know that this is not the last time Jon and I will work together, but it will be my last endeavor with Iced Earth. Iced Earth is a name and force of its own. It has been very good to me and has allowed me to live a dream that others would give most anything for. I have been truly blessed to share this experience with everyone. I will continue to support Jon and Iced Earth in every way. I will also continue to create and perform in my own capacity.
“These next months will prove to be a very emotional time for me. I am extremely happy to be able to share the experience with Jon, Brent, Freddie, Troy and the Iced Earth family. I am proud to know them and honored that they consider me their friend. It is going to be phenomenal to share the love of this music during several summer festivals and I know that it will be a time we will never forget.
“Please consider all that I have brought forth and all of Jon’s offerings before passing judgment on the future of Iced Earth. This band has always strived to give its listeners the very best and I know that Jon, as always, will continue to lead that charge.
“To Iced Earth and all of you…I wish you the very best!!!
- Matt”
Band founder and leader Jon Schaffer reacted to his friend’s decision with
equal parts sadness and praise.
“I knew Matt wrestled with this for a long, long time,” said Schaffer. “It wasn’t an easy decision for him. But I love him dearly and I can’t fault his reasons.”
Schaffer continued: “Matt is one of the most sincere people I know, and one of the most talented. His departure deeply saddens me, but I hope all fans of Iced Earth will cut him some slack. I wish Matt well, respect him greatly, and I ask everyone else to do the same.”
With a new album in the works, and a world tour pending, Schaffer has already begun the search for a new vocalist.
“I have a few guys in mind,” said Schaffer. “And as you can imagine, it is a very important decision. One thing is for certain: we are not looking for a Matt Barlow ‘clone’ – we are looking for a front man that brings power and character of his own to the table. There’s only one Matt, and that era of the band’s history will always hold a special place in my heart.”
The band’s long-awaited 6-hour, three-concert live DVD Festivals of the Wicked is scheduled for release this spring.
The band recently announced a new summer festival date: Dong Open Air in Neukirchen-Vluyn, Germany, on July 15th.
With the Dong Open Air date confirmed, Iced Earth will play a total of six summer festivals, including: Wacken, Graspop, Rock am Härtsfeldsee, Ilosaarirock Festival in Joensuu, Finland on July 16th, and the Sweden Rock Festival on June 10th in Sölvesborg, Sweden.
More festival dates will be announced soon on the band’s official web site, MySpace, and Facebook pages.
Announcement of a new vocalist will be made through all social media outlets as soon as a decision is made.

| S'il a le culot d'aller rechercher Ripper, j'espère bien que ce dernier l'enverra se faire enculer vu comme il l'a lourdé il y a 3 ans. |

D'ailleurs tout comme Léon Zitrone n'a pas pu commenter l'enterrement de Léon Zitrone, je me demande: qui pourrait remplacer Ripper quand Ripper ne peut plus en remplacer un autre ?  |

ben y a Jeff Scott Soto. Ou Pietro
sinon ça manque de "Matt ça a toujours été un bâtard t'façon, je lui pisse à la raie, c'est une quiche et y a bien meilleur que lui sur le marché". Il se ramollit le père Schaffer

ça fait quand même chier, ça. 
Même si Iced Earth semble un peu fatigué, c'est pas un groupe que je considère encore comme définitivement cramé. Et je suis pas certain qu'un nouveau changement de chanteur soit de nature à redynamiser le groupe.
Par contre, please, pas de come back de Tim Owens. |

ça commence à devenir chiant, cette histoire
J'espérais vraiment que le nouvel album avec Barlow allait prouver un regain de forme après le foirage du dernier album...
Là, j'avoue que je ne sais plus trop quoi penser.
A la rigueur, Schaffer peut toujours tenter d'aller, de nouveau, dépouiller Pyramaze de son chanteur (sauf erreur, c'est toujours l'excellent Urban Breed).
Au fait, il devient quoi le chanteur de Lost Horizon (autre beau psychodrame) ? |

Moi aussi j'aurais bien aimé un retour de Ripper...
Sinon Jon peut chanter lui-même, suffit de trouver un bouche-trou pour les screamings 
Mais qu'il fasse le 3ème D&W avec Hansi déjà !

Ah, c'est sûr que sur le papier, ça le ferait bien.
Mais une collaboration Lande/Schaffer, j'y crois pas des masses, ce serait très fragile... |

Aux dernières nouvelles, il est devenu chanteur chez HEED et Lost Horizon avait lancé un concours façon DragonForce pour dénicher leur nouveau chanteur... |

2006 à vrai dire (merci Wiki) et en effet, c'était un album correct, mais loin d'avoir les ballz de Lost Horizon...
Selon ce même lien, le groupe a splitté. Encore un super chanteur sans groupe... Donc ouais, qu'il rejoigne Iced Earth, ça (re)donnera l'occasion de l'écouter...
*part se remettre Sworn in the Metal Wind*...  |

Dans tous ses projets, il a à chaque fois choisi de se barrer. Je pense pas qu'un tyran comme Schaffer ira chercher un mec qui le plantera probablement dans 2 ans.
Il lui faut une bonne pâte, quelqu'un qui ouvre pas son four (à part pour chanter) et qui a pas trop d'ego. |

Justement... Comme de toute manière c'est certain que le nouveau chanteur ne restera pas longtemps, autant prendre un lâcheur comme ça il aura pas à le virer !!!

Ayé, ils ont trouvé, il s'agit de Stu Block, chanteur des canadiens de Into Eternity!

ICED EARTH LEADER CHOOSES NEW VOCALIST,
ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN LEG OF MASSIVE WORLD TOUR
GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN (USA) – In the wake of vocalist Matt Barlow’s retirement, dozens of demos and resumes flooded Iced Earth’s management team. But one name kept popping up – Into Eternity vocalist Stu Block, who has been named the new lead singer for Iced Earth.
According to Schaffer, Robert Kampf, CEO of Century Media, early on suggested Block, whose band Into Eternity was previously on the CM label. That reminded Schaffer of one night in September, 2008, when Into Eternity opened for Iced Earth.
“Iced Earth was backstage waiting to go on,” said Schaffer. “We heard one of Stu’s incredible wails. I remember turning to Matt and saying, ‘Damn, that dude has serious range.’”
So while Iced Earth’s management team sifted through the growing number of prospective vocalists, Schaffer got in touch with Block.
After several phone conversations with the then-prospective Iced Earth vocalist, Schaffer asked his manager to e-mail Block several key Iced Earth songs, with the vocals stripped. Block went into his studio and recorded himself singing, then sent the files back to the team.
The result landed Block an intense two days at Schaffer’s studio where the two musicians hit it off.
“I felt a lot of chemistry between us, we knocked out a couple of great original pieces of music in no time” said Schaffer. “He’s very good at coming up with catchy melodies, and will help with lyrical duties as well. There’s no doubt Stu has an amazing vocal range and a lot of energy, but he also has the touring experience, which is a big plus for our plans of performing in all corners of the world.”
In addition, Schaffer said Block has what Iced Earth needs in a front man: “stage presence that includes high energy, passion, and focused rage.”
“Stu is charismatic and understands the depth and varying emotions in Iced Earth’s music,” said Schaffer. “So he will embody not only the emotion of our songs, but he will be able to perform them in a dynamic way. I believe fans are in for some incredible records and live shows in the coming years.”
New Iced Earth vocalist Stu Block concurs: “Iced Earth fans are wonderful, wonderful people,” he said. “The music is so passionate. So they’re passionate, and very loyal to the band. I am, too. I’m a huge fan of Iced Earth myself. So I share that same passion, and I will show it on stage. I think the fans are really going to dig it.”
Block continues: “It’s a huge honor to be doing this, to be part of this team,” he said. “It’s a dream come true, for sure.”
Schaffer is totally stoked. “This is a new beginning,” he said. “It’s game-on time. Iced Earth is going to record and tour like it never has before. The band is really amped-up and ready to hit the ground running in November.”
And to prove it, Iced Earth has released the European leg of a world tour that will take the band to countries it has never previously played. All told, the 2011-2012 Iced Earth world tour will be the largest the band has undertaken since its inception.

Iced Earth: Nouveau chanteur connu!
