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!"
