Purgatory

Purgatory was the original name of Iced Earth, recording three demos in the 80's under that name before switching in 1988 and debuting with the self-titled Iced Earth album a few years later. IE mainman Jon Schaffer decided to unearth several of those demo tracks, re-recording them with a lineup featuring a couple of his past bandmates as well as noted record producer Jim Morris (he of Morrisound Studio fame), and thus a five-track self-titled EP was released in 2018. Predictably, this sounds more like 80's indie metal than the more mature power metal that Iced Earth became famous for.
