This is the ultimate 5cd Iced earth box set you can't live without. It includes "Enter The Realm" (their demo which led to their recording deal with Century Media)? now on cd for the first time ever.

Remastered, remixed, and repacked editions of their first 3 studio albums : "Iced Earth", " Night Of The Stormrider", "Burnt Offerings" and last but not least the new "Tribute To The Gods" which features cover versions of Kiss, Iron Maiden, AC/DC and other classic bands + 32 page booklet with liner notes and rare photos.

I must say it really kills! Just listen to the new and remastered version of Dante's Inferno from "Burnt Offerings" metal doesn't get much better than this. The only bad thing I can say about this box set is that the print on the cd's doesn't fit the titles, for an example is "Burnt Offerings" printed with "Iced Earth" and vice versa, but hey? as long as the music is okay?

Well... why are you still sitting there? Go get this box set!! There is only 8000 copies worldwide.
