7-Day Wayback Music Challenge: Day 4: Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno

in musicwaybackchallenge •  6 years ago 

I have been invited to this challenge by @paganlord.
Welcome to my fourth song in this challenge:

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno

I've already shared this song several times here on steemit, but within this challenge I have to do it again, because if there is only song to be allowed in this challenge it would be this one:
My first CD's were from C.C. Catch, New Kids on the block, Michael Jackson, Roxette and Bonnie Tyler and Guns 'n Roses Use your illusion I but that was too hard and gloomy for me. But then I somehow listened to Iced Earth's album "Burnt offering": The seventh track on this album is a sad ballad and it just prepared me for the track that would change my life. The 8th track: A song about Dante Alighieri and his divine comedy wherein you are taken through the nine plains of hell. A song that defines the word EPIC in new dimensions: This calm yet fateful 1:40 min lasting intro; then suddenly broken by entering Hell: Abandon all hope who enter here; Drifting down deeper hard doom metal and when it's getting slower it doesn't mean that you could retire it's just to increase despair twice emphasized by this satanic choir and then at 9:44 min begins the most epic drum solo which blew me away and made me l a metalhead.
I remember that I bought this album during the summer holidays and the following few days I was on my desk translating the lyrics into german and it was great.
From the very first days I thought that it's a pity that there's fitting videoclip to this song; so I made for myself by mixing fitting clips from PC Games or movies (The video I've linked is the one I created)

I nominate @haegar85.
