ICED EARTH - Rare Interview With JON SCHAFFER From 1991 Featured On Forthcoming Rock Hard Magazine DVD Sampler


According to BW&BK scribe Carl Begai, the forthcoming issue of Germany's metal bible Rock Hard Magazine (#255, VOLBEAT cover) features Volume 10 of their ongoing Rock Guerilla series DVD sampler. Along with the usual video and interview features, this volume includes a special History Interview with ICED EARTH guitarist/founder Jon Schaffer, filmed in 1991 while the Night Of The Stormrider album was in production. Conducted by Rock Hard editor Götz Kühnemund (in English with German subtitles), Schaffer discusses the beginnings of the band, the making of Night Of The Stormrider, and comments on the lack of support in America for metal bands at the time. It also features performance footage of 'Desert Rain' in the band's extremely foggy rehearsal room.
