Live Report | ICED EARTH - "Live In Ancient Kourion" - 19 Aug 2012 - Ancient Kourion Amphitheater - Limassol Cyprus
Coming straight from Dante’s Inferno, armed with Pure Evil and accompanied with Dracula, Damien and an army of Ten Thousands Strong, John Schaffer and his companion manage to deliver pure metal in a more-than-you-can-imagine majestic atmosphere.
At around nine o’clock we had the coming curse upon us!
Iced Earth entered the battle zone with the self-title track from their last album “Dystopia”. Powerful sound and stage performance, combined with hot ‘n’ cold fireworks, gave the spark to light the fire of the choiring crowd!
And that’s just the first four songs from the setlist… What followed is indescribable. A MASSIVE setlist with a total of 26 songs (and 2 intros), including classics as Melancholy, I Died For You, Watching Over Me as well as newer ones, like Dark City, V,… the list is endless.
On top of all these, add the Live Recording part, with more than sever cameras, the visual effects with fires, explosives and compressed CO2, and you’re gonna have a small image of what we experienced last Sunday night.

Still want more? Be patient and buy the upcoming “Iced Earth - Alive In Cyprus” DVD and live album. All I can do now is just provide some photos taken by Savvas Proestos (www.savvasproestos.com) and wait for the DVD.
I want to personally thank the organizers for this OUTSTANDING event!! (Doros, you are the man!) On the points of favor, I’m amazed by the professionalism and humanism of the security guards! Unlike the last time, they weren’t there to secure the band, they we’re securing us! A huge thank you from all of us! Also special thanks to Pampos-the ultimate cameraman, to Andros Ioannou (G@M0 se, epethana na kamw to gyro!), Skyflat, Stelios Gavrielides, Marianna Shamma and her baby and Giannis Tsioutis!
P.S. - for the next time we want “A Question Of Heaven”!
Long Live the Iced m#th€rf@ckin Earth!
