Icarus Witch New CD

[Michael Troy]

Its called "Songs for the Lost" and these guys just kill IMO. I just received the new cd last week and have listened to it several times since then. Joe Lynn Turner is on it singing Mirror Mirror Def Leppard cover as well.

Check these guys out!!

Yeah man, or should we now say Witchburgh!!

You know, I've heard of these guys a long time ago, but never heard them or knew what they played.
I really like this stuff. They remind me of old Queensryche, and Psycho Scream put together.
Thanks alot for posting this! Now I have to find some of this stuff.

When I first heard Icarus Witch, I thought nearly the same thing - except I thought a mix of early Queensryche and Iron Maiden. The Psycho Scream reference is interesting since Icarus Witch has been playing some recent shows with Dofka, who are basically Psycho Scream with a different singer.

[metalchurch]

Yeah, Jim Dofka is a killer on guitar. I saw him with Black Sunday about 8 or 9 years ago. What a blast! He''s such a nice guy too.

Last I heard, Tim Aymar (the original singer for Psycho Scream) was delivering pizza's in Pittsburgh.

I'm looking for a good digital copy of:

Psycho Scream's 'Virtual Insanity'

I have it on cassette but it has seen it's better days.

I can make you a copy of Virtual Insanity. I also have a copy of their earlier demo.

Aymar is in FLA now, and is still recording with the band Pharaoh, who have a very Maiden-influenced sound. They (Pharaoh) have a couple of CDs out on Cruz del Sur Records. You can sample some tunes at:

Ok, I knew he was with Pharaoh but I didn't know what his status was.
My friend was thinking about tracking Tim down a few years ago, and that's what he heard.

I'll take all the Psycho Scream you got! And Pharaoh also.
I only have them doing a cover of a Maiden song, I think it was Rime of the Ancient Mariner, but I could be mistaken.
It was on the album 'Slave to the Power' a tribute to Maiden.
Thanks Todd, you are the man!!

Control Denied was a good album with Tim Aymar and Chuck Schuldiner.

I'm pretty blown away with Songs for the Lost as well. Amazing album. My favorite track is "House of Usher," but it's all good. Strong melodies, clean playing and production, and Matthew Bizilia is one of the best singers I've heard come along in a long time. Well-crafted, classic-styled metal!

[bassist_25]

I listened and watched the video they have on their website and was very impressed. Their bass player is awesome. Plus he uses Aguilar stuff, which is always a +. LOL

I like the fact that the production is clean but yet honest. They sound good because their good musicians, not because they decided to overdub the guitar track 734827298 times.
