Dark Genesis

Dark Genesis is a five-disc box set by American heavy metal band Iced Earth, released on November 27, 2001. It contains remastered versions of their first three studio albums (Iced Earth, Night of the Stormrider and Burnt Offerings), their rare demo Enter the Realm, and a newly recorded tribute CD, Tribute to the Gods, which contains covers of many songs that have influenced Iced Earth. The Tribute to the Gods CD was the last Iced Earth release to feature lead guitarist Larry Tarnowski, and the last to feature Matt Barlow until his 2007 return. As well, that same disc marked bassist James MacDonough's first Iced Earth disc since 1999, as he had been absent during the recording of Horror Show.

Misprinting error edit

Once the Dark Genesis box set was released, reports started coming in of misprintings on the discs. Disc one (Enter the Realm) would play disc three (Night of the Stormrider), disc two (Iced Earth) would play disc four (Burnt Offerings), disc three would play disc one and disc four would play disc two. Disc five (Tribute to the Gods) remained true to its printing. This fault got back to Iced Earth, who quickly released a statement on their official website about how disappointed and embarrassed they were about the errors and gave everyone their humble apologies, despite not being their fault at all. It was announced that through investigations, 3,000 of the 4,000 shipped units were affected with this error. The statement also insisted fans to send back their error discs along with their names and addresses to Century Media's head office and they'll be replaced with new discs with the correct printings on them.
