"The Crucible of Man – (Something Wicked Part II)," the new full-length Iced Earth release for 2008, continues where the band's 2007 release, "Framing Armageddon – (Something Wicked Part I)" left off. "The Crucible of Man" is the sonic culmination of the "Something Wicked" saga introduced in 1998 as a trio of songs which concluded the album, "Something Wicked This Way Comes."
While the trilogy on the 1998 album provided a condensed overview of the story Schaffer has been conceptualizing for well over a decade, the saga has been fully brought to life with the release of the back-to-back conceptual albums "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible of Man." While both albums provide answers to mysteries the previous releases would create, the timeliness of the story in today’s world is guaranteed to keep people thinking and guessing. Jon Schaffer’s ability to convey the central themes and events of the story without always revealing exactly “why” characters’ decisions are made and “how” events come to pass, will keep fans of the saga coming back as future mediums for the "Something Wicked" storyline are revealed.
1. In Sacred Flames
2. Behold the Wicked Child
3. Minions of the Watch
4. The Revealing
5. A Gift Or A Curse?
6. Crown of the Fallen
7. The Dimension Gauntlet
8. I Walk Alone
9. Harbinger of Fate
10. Crucify the King
11. Sacrificial Kingdoms
12. Something Wicked (Part 3)
13. Divide Devour
14. Come What May
15. Epilogue
