Iced Earth Announce 'Alive in Athens' (20th Anniversary Edition)

Michael Angulia | 10-30-2019

Iced Earth have announced the long-awaited vinyl release of their classic 1999 live album "Alive In Athens" on December 6th to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the recording.

Jon Schaffer had this to say about the special reissue, "'Alive In Athens' has been called one of the greatest heavy metal live albums of all time. For me, it was one of the high points in a long and eventful journey that carries on to this day.

"I've experienced some of the best memories of my musical and personal life in Greece and these two nights in Athens are certainly no exception. I am honored and humbled by the passion of ICED EARTH fans in Greece and all over the world and hope you will all enjoy this ultimate edition of 'Alive In Athens'!'

"Alive in Athens (20th Anniversary Edition)" will be released as a five 180-gram LP set, a 12-page LP-sized booklet with liner notes by Schaffer and Barlow as well as Hakos Pervanidis (Metal Hammer Greece) who also contributed additional visual content, and 60x60cm poster.
