And this shall be THE PLAGUE wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. - ZECHARIAH 14:12

Thats everyday buddy Each kingdom has a cleansing. But the Riches and who rule or you know and you know!!!!!!!!! Thats their rule and you know that rule. I don't give this knowledge if you don't know by now. Its the man up stairs that hive out this rule. The rule is testing out the strength of man and the good of the spirit. Are you strong??? Or fragile????
I know I've must have played this song 1,300 times by now in the course of 6 months since this great discovery of what it is now one of my ultimately favorite bands
Forget a fan, I’m a Matt Barlow disciple, but I will say...I have a strong feeling Stu’s voice is going to age like fine fucking wine if he continues to take care of it. He’s going to be able to hit those lower notes possibly even better than Barlow one day. Thank god we still have vocalists like this around 🍻
Agreed, but with one caveat: The Ripper absolutely killed The Glorious Burden. Absolutely one of my favorite IE albums, I know that's an unpopular opinion.
This is my first listen. Usually it takes a few times before I get into a song, but this one is pretty catchy. The lyrics and theme really line up with this day in age. Word for word it's spot on.
@@Cameron23949 I'd definitely rank Iced Earth about Symphony X and Nightwish, myself. As far as all-time metal bands, you wouldn't include Dio or Rainbow in your all-time rankings?
@@Cameron23949 Nightwish? I heard only one song. Symphony X? Never heard of this band before Top 5 bands of all time? You both didn't include Metallica or Slayer? The top 5 is hard to pick but my top would be: 5) Rammstein 4) Slipknot 3) Slayer 2) Metallica 1) Black Sabbath
Meh it's ok but they are pretty "samey" with their music and it's just too emo for me. Usually metal of all kinds makes me happy. It's a rally cry. Iced Erath is the opposite. Not to mention it is usually really slow. In the list I would replace Nightwish very easily with Tarot. Helloween is much better than Dream Theater I think. They only had one good song LOL.
I get the feeling that this song especially is more about setting the mood for the album. Dark, heavy, apocalyptic (seems that way) and I think that it succeeds fantastically at that
I've bought my first iced earth album when i was 8 years old - soley because i loved the album art (days of purgatory). now I'm 29 and i still love the artworks. you guys have totally changed my life, thank you for that ♥ \m/
А я по обложке купил manowar где то в 96-98году, да ещё на кассете с плохой пиратской записью, послушал вообще не чего не понял и откинул в долгий ящик, и спустя пару лет наверно делать ее чего было думай дай ещё раз послушаю в наушниках тока, и вот тогда я стал приверженцом пока, Хеви и все что с этим связано)
Wow indeed, this was released in 2014 !?!?!? they nailed it.the lyrics spot on,amazing. I know a lot of heavy metal /rock and roll songs that totally foresee the future.
I love his falsettos too he has such great effing vocals and enunciation/pronunciation. He did really good on Plagues. I was very happy to see them in concert...killer
Its much more than the political aspect once you indulge into esoterica and the occult you actually start taking of your veil and you could see in true light.Its not about republican or democrats because at the end of the day both parties work for the same person.
Been listening to this band since I was 12 and I remember in high-school 2008 or 9 listening to the album Framing Armageddon and I had no idea what it was about and recently put the disc into my car and listening this time around I realize what it all means. F-ing crazy stuff. Thank you for your dedication and amazing art. Even the name of the band, ICED EARTH makes so much sense
Extremely Extremely awesome bangin' Heavy-Power Metal band!!!!!!!!!! No matter what Jon Schaffer did, that does not whatsoever define nor reflects what ICED EARTH does.
Just listen to the riffs absolutely beautiful, The Glorious Burden is what brought me here that and Horror Show was the first album I heard from Iced Earth.
Oh yeah, what they did was an assault on the heart of U.S. democracy... what your are expressing and what they did is totally un-American .. your cult accomplishments include many officers injured and the death of a police officer .. the same officers you people love dearly .. what a disgrace these cultists are to this nation .. participants on that DC riot are traitors and insurgents .

Glory to God his children will be saved ,Jesus is coming back soon...if someone says our king isn't real tell em their mama ain't real God bless all my brothers and sisters around the world
Eh. A plague is different than a glorified head cold and cough. The plagues of Babylon like it described in the song will drive people insane and rot their flesh away. Basically turn them into zombies before they die. However they are right. The earth is overpopulated so instead of going to war? I’d bet you anything the government has tried different things to decrease it. If you want a true look into the end of days listen to “seven seals” by testament. It has so much weight to it especially if you’ve read the Bible or doctrine and covenants. Knowing the raw power the devil and Michael have... it’s some scary stuff. And personally I hope I’m gone before they duke it out and destroy all of existence 🤞🏻
I've wondered who the hero was in the story this song is a part of, and I have come to the conclusion that there are no heroes in the story of Set Abominae. Only villains, victims, villains who became villains because they were victims, and Set Abominae. Other than that, this would make an excellent song for monsters plotting the destruction of the earth.
Take it from real life standards, no one anywhere is the hero. There is only villains and victims, no matter where you live you are apart of someone's game, hence why I'm not Political, because I mean..politician are the most corrupt and they're playing us like Arcade Mario Bros.
So happy I stumbled upon this band, this is now one of my top favorites . Just wish I'd found them sooner
Same here, it's a great band
Same here
I found them after seeing Jon Schaffer on the FBI most wanted list lol
He was involved or at the Washington DC invasion
Ive seen them here by me very cool
