"Iced Earth" is the eponymous debut album by American heavy metal band Iced Earth. It was released in November 1990 internationally and February 1991 in North America. The original release of this album had three different covers (a worldwide cover, a European cover and a Japanese cover). This album was Mike McGill's only album with Iced Earth, as well as the last for singer Gene Adam. Like the album's successor "Night of the Stormrider", "Iced Earth" follows a more traditional thrash metal sound, rather than the power metal direction the band would follow after Matt Barlow had joined. Iced Earth would stick to the power metal formula until Barlow left the band, with his replacement Tim Owens singing in a style reminiscent of both genres.

Iced Earth's first three albums (this album, "Night of the Stormrider", and "Burnt Offerings") were remastered in 2001, and each had a new cover.

Info

* "Colors" is about the TV novel also named Colors. This novel is about gangsters.
* Every song on this album except "Curse The Sky" was redone for 1997's Days of Purgatory. For that release, "Written on the Walls" was given new lyrics and renamed "Cast In Stone". Despite not being re-recorded, Iced Earth continued playing "Curse The Sky" in future concerts.
