Dystopia (Deluxe)

Limited digipak edition includes two bonus tracks and logo patch. 2011 release, the 10th studio album from the Florida-based Heavy Metal band. While not a concept album, founder Jon Schaffer admits there are unifying themes to several of the songs. In much the same way Horror Show (the band's tribute to classic characters from literature and movies) was born, band leader John Schaffer said his interest in dystopian themes in music and movies led him to try his hand at that genre as well. The end result is Iced Earth meets the nightmarish offspring of Brave New World and Blade Runner.
