On December 6, American heavy metal group ICED EARTH will finally release the classic 1999 live opus “Alive In Athens” as its first proper vinyl edition to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this monumental recording.
Originally released as a 2CD, 3CD and picture LP set, “Alive In Athens” came out slightly flawed two decades ago yet turned into a gigantic success for ICED EARTH and was certified gold in Greece, where the more than thirty different songs spanning set had been recorded on two nights at Athens’s Rodon Club in January 1999.
“Alive in Athens (20th Anniversary Edition)” includes five 180-gram LPs, a 12-page LP-sized booklet with liner notes by Schaffer and Barlow as well as Hakos Pervanidis (Metal Hammer Greece) who also contributed additional visual content, and 60x60cm poster.
