    This is the one that hurts me the most. Iced Earth was one of my BIG jams during highschool. Demons and Wizards is probably why I got I to guitar. Hearing about his involvement on the 6th was rough.

    I still listen to their stuff from time to time. Some of it has some actually good messages, and almost all of it is just good music. Really have to separate the art from the artist sometimes. I will never see them live, can’t buy their merch, and typically find less-legitimate sources for the music, when I really want to listen, so at least I’m not supporting them.

      Used to love Iced Earth’s concept album retelling the early years of superhero Spawn, can’t stand to listen to them now knowing that terrorist was a major part of it. Some people can separate the art and artist, or as a matter of degree able to look past some things but not others, but that’s one I personally can’t look past
