The discography of Iced Earth, an American heavy metal band, consists of ten studio releases, five compilations, three singles, two videos, and four music videos. Originally formed as Purgatory by guitarist Jon Schaffer in 1984, the band spent five years playing live locally and went through several line-up changes. After changing their name to Iced Earth, the band recorded the demo Enter the Realm (1988), which landed them a deal with the German label, Century Media Records. Two years later, the band recorded their self-titled album Iced Earth, followed by 1991's Night of the Stormrider, which peaked at number 60 on the Japanese Oricon charts. Three years later, Iced Earth released Burnt Offerings, featuring new vocalist Matthew Barlow, followed by The Dark Saga (1996); both releases failed to chart.
