Iced Earth frontman Jon Schaffer conceptualizes a massive, historically themed power metal epic, heavily focused on military history and the American Civil War. Marking the brief tenure of former Judas Priest vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens, the album climaxes with a sprawling, three-part suite dedicated to the Battle of Gettysburg.
