Headbangers Alert: Iced Earth Alive in Limassol 2012

Iced Earth, the Legendary American Power Metal band, after their successful first ever appearance in Cyprus last year, return to our island for the professional recording of their upcoming CD/DVD production "Alive in Cyprus 2012". The concert will take place at Ancient Kourion Theatre on 19/08/2012.

Message from Jon Schaffer (Captain/Guitarist):

My metal brothers and sisters!

As some of you know, we are going to record a new DVD later this summer in the ancient Kourion Theater in Limassol, Cyprus.

As I said in a recent post, the decision of which city around the world to film a show was not an easy one, considering all the great responses we received on these last 2 legs of the world tour. But in the end, the atmosphere in Cyprus was so electric and intense that we felt this was the obvious choice this time around.

Well, not only are the crowds in Cyprus amazing, but you can see what an awesome and intimate atmosphere we will be recording in by following the link below. http://youtu.be/ys4eXICSoEU

This theater has been around for thousands of years and has been witness to the Greek, Roman and Byzantine Empires. This will be a truly spectacular place to film, and the boys and I can’t wait to make it happen. We have a hell of a set list and show planned that will span the entire Iced Earth catalog!

I urge any fans around the world, that have the means to travel, to get their tickets soon and join us on August 19th, 2012, in the beautiful and historic country of Cyprus, for an event that will surely be one of the highlights of Iced Earth’s history.

Best to you all, and see you on the road soon!

Jon Schaffer

A HUGE honor for our SMALL island!! This is their second ever redording in the "Alive" series after the "Alive in Athens" CD.
