The time has finally come for a truly professional and ass-kicking fan club for ICED EARTH. Through the years we have made various attempts at this, and though the they were initiated by fans with good intentions, they were often short lived because of the amount of work that it takes to make something like this operate properly. Now we have partnered with a professional company that is dedicated to running this FC the way that it deserves to be, and to the high standard that I've set for all aspects of everything ICED EARTH.

I feel truly blessed to have the kind of fans that ICED EARTH has had over the last two decades. It's a rare and special thing to have a fan base that is as passionate as any KISS, Iron Maiden and Metallica fan. I know where this loyalty comes from, and I promise, we will not let you down!

Over the course of the next year or two you will begin to see many new changes and advances in the way things will be happening in ICED EARTH world. By this I mean that I have various teams assembled behind the scenes that will be instrumental in bringing the fan base many of the things that have been missing in the past years.

We are in store for a very exciting time in ICED EARTH history, and I'm extremely proud of what's been accomplished thus far. Many of you have been with us since day one, and many have come along through the years. Regardless of how long you've been a fan of the music, we are honored to have you part of the ever-growing Legion of metal's most dedicated fan base.

Rise up, MINIONS OF THE WICKED!

In Metal,

Jon Schaffer
