Our Take
Our Take
In a world full of musical purgatories, Jon Schaffer's "Purgatory" EP is a welcome escape from the mundane. Bursting onto the scene like a runaway train, this four-track masterpiece is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking listeners on a wild ride through the depths of Schaffer's mind.
From the hauntingly beautiful title track to the head-banging intensity of "Dracula," Schaffer showcases his versatility as a musician and songwriter. His guitar riffs are razor-sharp, his vocals are raw and impassioned, and his lyrics are as cryptic as they are thought-provoking.
But what truly sets "Purgatory" apart is its ability to transport listeners to another world. Close your eyes and you can almost feel the heat of the flames in "Hades' Inferno" or smell the blood in the air in "In Your Dreams." It's a visceral experience that will leave you breathless and wanting more.
So, if you're looking for a musical journey unlike any other, look no further than Jon Schaffer's "Purgatory" EP. It's a masterclass in storytelling and a testament to the power of music to transcend boundaries and touch the soul. Don't sleep on this one, folks. It's a ride you won't soon forget.

About the artist
Jon Schaffer's Purgatory
Hailing from the land of denim jackets and double bass drums, Jon Schaffers Purgatory emerges as a breath of fresh air amidst a sea of cookie-cutter metal bands. Schaffers, the man behind the moniker, has been in the game for decades, honing his craft with iconic bands like Iced Earth and Demons & Wizards. But now, he's stepping out on his own with a solo project that's as ambitious as it is sinister. Purgatory's music is a sonic assault on the senses, blending elements of thrash, power metal, and good old-fashioned heavy metal into a headbanging concoction that's impossible to resist. Schaffers' guitar work is nothing short of virtuosic, his riffs slicing through the air like a hot knife through butter. And let's not forget his vocals – raw, powerful, and dripping with attitude, they're the perfect match for his aggressive musical style. But what sets Jon Schaffers Purgatory apart from the rest is its lyrical depth. Schaffers isn't content to spout off tired cliches about dragons and wizards (although there's nothing wrong with a good dragon song now and then). Instead, he delves deep into themes of politics, society, and the human condition, crafting lyrics that are as thought-provoking as they are headbang-worthy. In a world where metal is often dismissed as mindless noise, Jon Schaffers Purgatory stands out as a beacon of intelligence and intensity. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by one of metal's true pioneers.
