Overview Edit

The Melancholy E.P. is an EP by American heavy metal band Iced Earth, and was originally released in 1999 as a radio promotion; however, some were sold directly to the fans.

The EP contains three original Iced Earth songs and two covers: "Shooting Star" by Bad Company, and "Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath.

Only 1500 hand-numbered copies exist of the first edition.

In 2001, the EP was re-released in greater numbers due to demand. The re-release contains the songs from the limited edition plus two new ones: one is a Judas Priest cover of "The Ripper", which had appeared as a bonus track on the limited edition release of The Dark Saga and the Judas Priest tribute album A Tribute to Judas Priest: Legends of Metal Vol. 2, and the other is a live version of "Colors" (from Iced Earth), a song that didn't make it on to the Alive in Athens album, due to tracklisting mixups.
