Iced Earths Jon Schaffer discusses the potential of the Something Wicked saga; A major motion picture possibly in the works?
Posten on: 2008-08-31 20:59:36
It's an exciting time in the world of Iced Earth. First, beloved vocalist Matt Barlow rejoined the band late last year. Now, the power metallers are on the cusp of releasing Part 2 of their epic "Something Wicked" saga. Part 2, which will be called "The Crucible of Man," and will be released on September 9, details the attempted destruction of the human race by a summoned creature called Set Abominae (the band's longtime mascot of sorts.) More than just music, Iced Earth founder and songwriter Jon Schaffer has huge plans for the saga including comics, graphic novels, action figures, and maybe even a major motion picture. He gave me a full rundown of all the goings on.

Iced Earth Rocker Convicted Of Kidnap & Rape
Posten on: 2008-08-16 04:39:31
Former Iced Earth guitarist Ernie Carletti has been convicted for kidnapping and raping a University of Delaware student in 2003. The 32-year-old rocker was found guilty on two counts of first degree rape and one count of first-degree kidnapping in court on Monday. Carletti admitted to abducting the student, and tying her up at his Maryland home, but he insisted he did not rape the unnamed woman. He also denied he used a gun in the kidnapping. After handcuffing her, Carletti said he shackled her legs and put duct tape over her eyes and then drove to his home. He maintained the woman was a willing abductee, but prosecutor Donald R. Roberts told the court the rocker tied a blindfold so tight around the woman's face, he burst one of her eye vessels, and she almost passed out, according to Blabbermouth.net. Upon arriving at his home, Carletti said he gagged his captive's mouth, placed her on a table and tied her up. He later cut the woman loose when he realized she was uncomfortable and then returned her to where he had picked her up. Carletti became a suspect in May 2006 and was arrested after police matched his fingerprints to a print found on the duct tape that had been placed over one of the victim's eyes. The rocker was charged earlier this year in another sexual assault that occurred when he was in high school. According to court documents in that pending case, Carletti allegedly tied a school friend to a chair, locked her in his bedroom closet and then raped her.

Drummer Richard Christy has issued the following update: "I just wanted to let you know that a brand new drumming special that I did is available now on Howard TV! I have to give a million thanks to Howard TV and my boss Howard Stern for giving me the chance to show off a side of me that some people might not know about. Before I worked on the radio with The Howard Stern Show I toured with some of my favorite metal bands including DEATH, ICED EARTH, BURNING INSIDE, DEMONS AND WIZARDS, INCANTATION, and many more, On my new Howard TV drumming special called 'Beating It' I talk about my life before the Stern Show as a professional drummer. I also play tons of brand new drum solos and at the end of the special is a brand new instrumental song that I wrote entitled 'Frost' in which I wrote and played the Guitar, Bass, and Drums. I'm extremely proud of the special and I hope you all enjoy it. Howard TV is available all across the country on cable, you can go to www.howard.tv for more info. Also, I'm really excited because my hometown newspaper in Kansas where I grew up, The Fort Scott Tribune, recently did a front page article about me! Here's a link to check it out here."
