ICED EARTH founder Jon Schaffer has unveiled a powerful reimagining of his most unflinching work with the release of "Sons Of Liberty - Thought Crimes (Volumes 1 & 2)", now available on all streaming platforms.

This bold new mix fuses the raw essence of ICED EARTH's "Brush-fires Of The Mind" LP and the "Spirit Of The Times" EP, breathing fresh life into a message that has proven eerily prophetic in an era of escalating world challenges.

"Thought Crimes (Volumes 1 & 2)", originally crafted with programmed drums to minimize costs, was designed not for profit but as a gift to the world to be copied, shared, and amplified freely.

With this release, Schaffer's lyrics rally for pro-freedom/pro-humanity ideals: anti-authoritarian, non-partisan, and rooted in the unyielding principles of liberty.

The collection features thunderous drums by Mark Prator and a cutting-edge modern mix by Jim Morris.

In an age where ideas can be silenced, this stands as the most censored and canceled heavy metal music in history.

Schaffer said: "SONS OF LIBERTY was always meant to be more than music; it was a wake-up call and an attempt to start brushfires of freedom in the minds of those with ears to hear." A special physical rollout is scheduled for July 4, 2026, featuring a double gatefold vinyl edition in five vibrant colors, a luxurious limited-edition leather box CD, and a sleek digipak CD.

This release marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration Of Independence.
