Iced Earth Dystopia

2011, DYSTOPIA is the tenth studio album by the American heavy metal Iced Earth. It features the debut of lead vocalist Stu Block, who became the new lead vocalist after the second departure of vocalist Matt Barlow. Although DYSTOPIA is not a concept album, founder Jon Schaffer admits there are unifying themes to several of the songs - and even an appearance by band mascot ´Set Abominae`. Of special interest to long-time fans are two songs on DYSTOPIA (the title track and ,,Tragedy And Triumph") that feature the return of the ´Something Wicked` storyline and ´Set Abominae` - who, when last seen in THE CRUCIBLE OF MAN (2008), had taken his position as ruler of the world.
