Former ICED EARTH vocalist Stu Block has announced his return to INTO ETERNITY.
Block left INTO ETERNITY back in 2011 and was replaced by Amanda Kiernan, however due to recent events, the singer has returned a decade later. Block broke the news of his official reunion with INTO ETERNITY two days after he performed live with them at the Loud As Hell festival in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada (you can see video below).
Yesterday (Monday, August 2), Stu took to his social media to share the following message: “What an amazing time with @into_eternity_official at the @loudashellfestival !! I had such a killer time with my brothers Matt, Tim, Troy and Bryan and sister from another mister Amanda!!
“Soooooo I’m sure you are all speculating if I will be coming back to INTO ETERNITY permanently and the answer is…………YES!!! I will be coming back sharing lead vocal duties with the amazing Amanda Kiernan!
“The insane talent that is in this band needs to be showcased to the world again through new recordings and some touring.
“We will be working hard on new music and refining the live show to perfection for you to enjoy. We have LOTS of exciting things coming within the next few months! We can’t wait!!!”
After recording two albums with INTO ETERNITY, Block joined ICED EARTH in 2011, with whom he recorded three LPs: “Dystopia” (2011), “Plagues Of Babylon” (2014) and “Incorruptible” (2017).
Block and bassist Luke Appleton quit ICED EARTH after leader Jon Schaffer’s involvement in the U.S. Capitol riot. Guitarist Jake Dreyer is also believed to have quit the band.
