Iced Earth frontman Stu Block took a few minutes to discuss the upcoming release of Iced Earth’s latest effort Plagues Of Babylon.
Plagues Of Babylon release date will be January 6, 2014 in Europe and January 21, 2014 in North America via Century Media Records. This will be the bands 11th studio release and its first since 2011’s Dystopia.
After The new year the band will embark on the “Worldwide Plagues Tour 2014”. The North American leg of the tour will kick off in Grand Rapids, Michigan on April 4th, and will feature Sabaton and Revamp as support. Check their web site for more details on the tour, which runs through the middle of May.
NRR would like to thank Stu for his time and we wish him and the band the best of luck on their upcoming “Worldwide Plagues Tour” which begins in Europe at the beginning of 2014 and continues in North America in April.
