Album Notes & Community Reviews
Iced Earth's 'The Melancholy E.P.' collects the Florida band's ballads and acoustic material alongside cover versions, a deliberate contrast to their power-thrash studio albums. It was issued by Century Media as a stopgap release built around the title ballad from 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'.
