I have to go with THE RED BARON / BLUE MAX Its just a killer killer tune some insane screams and Tim wrote it. Wink

Its kind of close for me cause The Reckoning to me is one of his best ever. In my opinion it gives Scream Machine and Painkiller a run for its money.

Very Happy

My favorites are The Reckoning and Framing Armageddon.
IE with Ripper was my favorite band at the time.
I'm still depressed about that.

I hope that Charred Walls will do a few Glorious Burden tunes live!

Nope. I've dropped lines to both Tim and Richard. No dice yet.

The Reckoning used to intimidate me, but its actually a fairly easy song
to sing for people in the Halford/Ripper style of voice. None of the notes
are all that high. Its a matter of balancing out the aggression with still having solid notes hammered. If I had an opportunity to sing it, I have
confidence that it would come out pretty good.

Are you thinking of Ten Thousand Strong? Cuz Reckoning doesn't have an intro scream...

You know, upon further inspection, the chorus is really tough on Reckoning, mainly because there is no central melody line, so I'd have no idea what to sing. I'd have to make up something, and I don't think it'll have the same power as the million tracks of layered vocals all doing different things like on the album.
