594 - Iced Earth Stand Alone 1998

"Something Wicked This Way Comes" is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Iced Earth. As with the band's previous album, "The Dark Saga", Iced Earth were again faced with line-up changes. Long-time guitarist Randall Shawver left the band prior to the recording of "Something Wicked This Way Comes", as did drummer Brent Smedley, who was unable to play on the album for personal reasons. Because of these changes, only guitarist Jon Schaffer, vocalist Matt Barlow and bassist James MacDonough were credited as "Iced Earth". Songs such as "Stand Alone" received considerable praise.
