"This is a seriously heavy album with a seriously brutal album cover," says Jon Schaffer of 'PLAGUES OF BABYLON'. "I'm sure it will go down as a classic in the epic ICED EARTH catalog. We feel that the package with SABATON and REVAMP is very strong and we are very excited to tour the U.S. and Canada again and kick some major ass!"

Beginning with their groundbreaking self-titled debut album, ICED EARTH has remained steadfastly committed to championing heavy metal and continues to be one of America's greatest classic metal bands. 'PLAGUES OF BABYLON' is no exception. From the sheer power of the title track and neck-breaking thrashers like "Among The Living Dead," to the haunting "Cthulhu" and the colossal "If I Could See You" and "Spirit Of The Times," 'PLAGUES OF BABYLON' takes fans on the thundering power trip that has become ICED EARTH's trademark.
