Two bonus tracks were also recorded for inclusion on special editions of the album.ICED EARTH mainman/guitarist Jon Schaffer admitted the recording of "Dystopia" was especially challenging because of the band's summer festival gigs requiring him to criss-cross the ocean numerous times.Despite the challenges, Schaffer said working with new vocalist Stu Block was "a pleasure.""You just can't ask for a better attitude," said Schaffer. "Stu is so excited to be here. He brings a youthful exuberance to the band, which is a lot of fun. And he's a real dude. He's down to earth,Stephon Marbury Team USA Jersey, and willing to try anything that Jim [Morris,Carmelo Anthony Team USA Jersey, co-producer, engineer] or I throw at him. He's stepping into the shoes in a very natural way."Schaffer continued: "We're opening up a part of his voice and a style of singing that he didn't even really know he had. We're exploring this whole new range. And we're just getting started. I believe Stu will continue to grow and has the potential to grow into one of the greats,Vince Carter Raptors Jersey, one of the guys that will go down in metal history. If he stays on this course, with the attitude that he has, his willingness to learn, and his passion,Terrence Ross Raptors Jersey, he's destined for really great things. I firmly believe that." |
