Bat-Matt took the opportunity to chat with Jon Schaffer about all things Iced Earth. He got the skinny on how the Volbeat tour came together and what brought Stu Block to the band. Jon also commented on songwriting and how they consistently get the same "Iced Earth" sound, even with different singers. Lyrical content, how the Iced Earth set list comes together, and the songwriting process were also discussed.

Matt also secured his place as a MetalsPeak interviewer by not passing up the opportunity to mention the level of Daigle's Potter-nerdism. Way to go buddy.
