We\u2019re excited for Jake to be a part of the team as he has the talent, drive, and the personality we were looking for. Jake joined Stu (Block, vocals) and I last week to do some tracking at Independence Hall and he hammered out some ripping guitar solos on several songs from the new album. Jake will play on the upcoming Iced Earth studio album and will perform his first live show with us in November at Hammerfest in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to personally thank all of the guitarists who auditioned for the position, it was an overwhelming response, and there are many very talented guys out there. So again, thank you for your passion and interest.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jake Dreyer shared the following words: \u201cExtremely honoured by this news. A massive thank you to Jon Schaffer and Stu Block. I am blown away by the material that is the new record.
