Mainman Jon Schaffer informs BW&BK; that the monstrous task that is the two-part Set Abominae concept is nearly done. "We start master tracking vocals on Friday for the full length. I have half of one song left to finish lyrics and vocal melodies on, and then I'm finished! Fuck Yeah! After two long years of work, it's finally wrapping up.... and it's smokin!

We did have to push mix time back due to the in-availability at Morrisound, so we're mixing in late May through early June. My goal is to have all tracking done by the end of April, and then mix in May/June."

As previously reported, the release of Revelation Abomination will be preceded by the 'I Walk Alone' single, backed with two to three (depending upon format) re-recorded songs, highlighting the return of vocalist Matt Barlow.

An in-depth discussion of the recent turns within Iced Earth and plans for the forthcoming disc, were unveiled exclusively to BW&BK; upon our visit to Morrisound. Click here to read.
