Top 10 Songs to Get You Into Iced Earth
Metal_Treasure Iced Earth are an American heavy metal band formed in 1985. Their music isn't extreme - most of their songs are melodic but with thrashy riffs.What to expect? Great and powerful vocals, and riffs bigger than oak trees.
This list isn't about their best songs - I had in mind that some of Iced Earth's future fans may be new to metal and songs like Dante's Inferno are great but might be too long (this one is nearly 20 minutes long).
My original top 10 is a mix of songs for both beginners and more advanced metal fans. The most suitable songs would be different depending on the level.
So this isn't a rating of their songs - I personally like some songs that I put lower on this list.
The Top Ten

I have to say I respect this band a lot - not saying all their songs or albums are masterpieces but they stayed true to metal even in the 90s when many metal bands stopped making music or added to their sound rap, grunge, hip hop, electronic and the like. Iced Earth had some unfavorable lineup changes that affected their career but they survived (mostly thanks to Jon Schaffer, rhythm guitarist). - Metal_Treasure
Melancholy is one of their softest songs and chorus is pretty catchy so I think this is good for beginners - Metal_Treasure
I love this band

You can also hear a fretless bass - such a great sound. - Metal_Treasure

Another softer song with great vocals by Matt Barlow - Metal_Treasure

Their magnum opus, in other words - their best song according to many (some may disagree but most would). - Metal_Treasure
This is the song that got me into Iced Earth.

A very good one with singer Stu Block - Metal_Treasure

This is a heavier song - Metal_Treasure

One of their most epic songs - Metal_Treasure



The Contenders






This is the epic of their debut album and was one of the songs I first loved by them. There are two versions, one with Matt Barlow and one with Gene Adam. Both are great. - IronSabbathPriest
