The Classic Metal Show, heard live weekly on Saturdays from 9 PM - 3 AM (EST) at www.theclassicmetalshow.com, have issued the following update regarding their upcoming June 2nd show:
"CMS Friend, and one of the best vocalists in metal today, Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST), is finally back recording ICED EARTH material after the triumphant release that was The Glorious Burden. Iced Earth is preparing to release their Something Wicked This Way Comes trilogy later in the summer, but has issued Overture Of The Wicked, a nice four-song EP that features a brand new song ('Ten Thousand Strong'), as well as three re-recorded Iced Earth classics to get fans ready for the new venture into the Something Wicked trilogy. We'll do a New Music Listening Party for Overture Of The Wicked, and Tim "Ripper" Owens will be calling in to discuss the new EP and the upcoming Iced Earth releases.Next up, a band out of Florida that sounds like they should be from Europe, KAMELOT is back with a brand new release called Ghost Opera. While their name may make you think they are a "dungeons and dragons" type of metal band, they have morphed into a more complete, excellent power metal band that sings about real world topics instead of magic and wizardry. We'll introduce many of you to Kamelot by doing a New Music Listening Party, and guitarist and mainman Thomas Youngblood will be calling in to explain how a band from Florida can sound so much like a European band.
Finally this week, we missed him last week, but this week ex-EXODUS vocalist Steve "Zetro" Souza will be checking in on The Classic Metal Show. Zetro is one of the two trading vocalists in the band DUBLIN DEATH PATROL, which also features TESTAMENT's Chuck Billy and TESLA's Troy Luccketta. The guys will talk to Souza about the new band, as well as his brilliant past with Exodus, and maybe even his past work in Testament as well!"
