red Farth - Rock Hard Festival

An Explosive Testament to Power and Precision: Iced Earth's legendary performance at Rock Hard Festival finally receives

the treatment it deserves with this exclusive 2LP gatefold edition, marking its first-ever release on vinyl.

Issued by 7 Mater Records in two stunning formats - classic black and a striking transparent blue - each limited to just 500 copies, this release is an essential artifact for collectors and fans of the band's most powerful live era.

Captured during a peak moment of the band's career, this set showcases Jon Schaffer and his mighty ensemble delivering a tight, ferocious performance filled with raw energy, melodic strength, and thunderous precision. The sound is crisp and massive, retaining the organic essence of a real live show, with every crowd roar and drum fill landing like a blow.

Frontman Tim "Ripper Owens commands the stage with dramatic authority, offering soaring high notes and fierce grit in equal measure. The band tears through their setlist with confidence and fire, blending newer anthems with timeless classics. The interplay between Schaffer's chugging riffs and the melodic solos paints a vivid sonic battlefield-epic, intense and giorious.

This edition is also visually striking. The gatefold with an original cover is a true highlight, giving the album an elegant yet

heavy aura that matches the performance inside. The vinyl mastering is immaculate, giving extra weight and warmth to the guitars, drums, and vocals
