ICED EARTH – Night Of The Stormrider Gatefold-LP (White Blue Aqua Vinyl)

There are albums which one admires, albums which one loves, and then there are albums which transcend feeble mortal concepts such as "admiration" and "love" and speak directly into the very soul of the listener. Albums like Jag Panzer's Ample Destruction, Savatage's Hall of the Mountain King, Dissection's Storm of the Night's Bane, and Sabbat's History of a Time to Come are some examples of albums that sit around the round table within the marbled halls of my antiquarian heavy metal mind palace. Night of the Stormrider is the ultimate manifestation of this phenomenon.
