Florida's Iced Earth were swimming against the tide in 1992. At a time when alternative rock was wiping the rock & roll slate clean and putting hundreds of heavy metal bands out of business, seemingly overnight, the band's uncompromising blend of classic metaland thrash (think Iron Maiden meets Slayer) was about as unfashionable as it got. And, to make matters worse, their sophomore effort, Night of the Stormrider, was a full-blown concept album about a man's fall from grace and subsequent questioning of organized religion. Guitarist and principal songwriter Jon Shaffer went to great lengths to diversify the band's already complex sonic palette, adding acoustic guitar passages and atmospheric keyboards to outstanding cuts like "Angel's Holocaust," "Before the Vision," "Pure Evil," and the awesome "Desert Rain." New vocalist John Greely has a good set of lungs and usually manages to keep up with the manic pace, but is clearly the weak link in the band's equation and would not return after this album. All in all, Night of the Stormrider was a solid effort which simply arrived at the wrong time, and, after assessing the general public's indifference, Shaffer would place Iced Earth on ice for almost three years. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

5 stars The river Styx has called for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many years ago, a good freind of mine intoduced me to Iced Earth by lending me their live album "Alive In Athens". I was instantly hooked. So, when I heard the live version of Travel In Stygian, I had to check out Night Of The Stormrider for myself. I purchased the original japanese version and the re-release. Making them my first Iced Earth purchases. Thus John Greely (their second vocalist) had a bad attitude for the band, he still had some amazing vocals. The first track "Angel's Holocaust" opens up with an amazing orchestral and heavenly kind of thing. The album pretty much takes you on the journey of Stormrider. From his acceptance of his path to his fate in hell, it makes a great story. Travel In Stygian is one of the most astounding tracks on the album. A MUST BUY.

5 stars energetic, thoughtful metal
This CD is so good I purchased two other Iced Earth CDs after listening to it. It has a raw, deep energy with crunching guitars and vocals that are not lame at all. A great CD to listen to in the weight room (+10% to all lifts!).

5 stars ICED EARTH ARE THE ESSENCE OF METAL
This is one of the best albums I have ever heard. I havent heard any of the other iced earth CDs but this destroys anything I have heard before by any artist. Thrash Power and Progression combine seamlessly to create a truly indescribible experience. The guitar work is so fast its mind blowing and the keyboards and percussion work nicely together. This is what metal is supposed to sound like, and you are a metal fan of any kind you would be a fool to not buy this album.
