A thunderous homage to the legends of heavy metal – Tribute to the Gods returns in a stunning limited edition of 500 numbered copies, released by Sevan Mater, and it’s pure devotion forged in steel. This collector’s version is elevated by a striking 3D lenticular cover, bursting with energy and iconic imagery. Demonic faces, glowing eyes, and electrified details shift as you move the case, giving the artwork a dynamic, almost supernatural presence. It’s bold, aggressive, and perfectly aligned with the spirit of the album – a visual tribute to the gods of metal. For collectors, it’s an essential gem. For true metalheads, it’s a ritual. Originally released in 2002, Tribute to the Gods is Iced Earth’s powerful salute to the bands that shaped their sound and the entire heavy metal genre. Instead of simply covering songs, Iced Earth reinterprets them with passion and respect, injecting their signature precision, heaviness, and intensity. The result is a collection that feels both nostalgic and revitalized – classic tracks reborn with modern power. Matt Barlow once again delivers a commanding vocal performance, adapting seamlessly to different styles while maintaining his unmistakable identity. Jon Schaffer’s guitar work remains razor-sharp, giving each song a heavier, darker edge without losing its original soul, and he takes over lead vocals on the classic KISS track, “God of Thunder“. From the galloping energy of Iron Maiden classics to the raw punch of Judas Priest and the epic grandeur of Black Sabbath, every track is handled with care and fire. This is not an imitation – it’s celebration, and a true Tribute to the Gods. The production is crisp and powerful, allowing each instrument to shine while preserving the raw spirit of the originals. RE-ISSUE, 500 NUMBERED UNITS. Tracklist: Tracklist not available yet.
