Overview
Days of Purgatory is Iced Earth's fifth full-length album and is a collection of remixes and remakes from previous albums.
All the songs from the Enter the Realm EP, Iced Earth and Night of the Stormrider were re-sung by Matthew Barlow, and on some of the songs the drums and bass redone. Days of Purgatory also includes songs from Burnt Offerings.
The reason for the album was to improve the original songs, create nostalgia for older fans and introduce newer fans to Iced Earth's older work.
A 2-cd limited edition was originally produced for European audiences but has since been released in the United States.
