Set Abominae is a fictional character that appears on the following albums of heavy/thrash metal band Iced
Earth:
- Something Wicked This Way Comes (Last three songs)
- Overture of the Wicked EP
- Framing Armaggedon (Something Wicked Part
1)
- Revelation Abomination (Something Wicked Part 2)
He is a kind of "Anti-Christ", conceived by the Setian race (which were the former rulers of
Earth until mankind came from space and killed almost every living Setian) to destroy mankind.
It's revealed in the Framing Armaggedon album that the surviving members of the Setian race, during the
man's invasion, managed to release an immense Cloud that brainwashed all mankind. Then, they patiently proceeded to further divide
man, creating all the religions and manipulating history at their
will. 10 thousand years after the brainwashing event, Set Abominae
will be born according to the prophecy and
will consume a long-waited revenge.
The character was created by Iced
Earth lead guitarist Jon Schaffer. Some people compare Set Abominae to Spawn.
"If
humans learn what's truly at stake
And of the birth of Set Abominae
Their primitive minds, a maddened
state, no
Frame it as the
Elder deemed
Frame it our way
Framing Armageddon!"
