A somewhat controversial release,
Days of Purgatory
contains re-recorded versions of 15 songs originally featured on
Iced Earth
's unevenly produced early albums -- the sort of thing that drives musical purists up the wall. However, because it also unearths a few long lost demos for studio resurrection, it also arguably offered the best starting point for those first discovering
Iced Earth
, until the release of 2004's nearly flawless
The Blessed and the Damned
greatest-hits set, that is. Now, if that information doesn't already have you immediately checking out
The Blessed and the Damned
, the fact remains that
Days of Purgatory
still serves its primary purpose: revamping that quality-challenged material with superior sound quality and musicianship, most notably from vocalist
Matthew Barlow
. All aspects of
Iced Earth
's songwriting are presented herein: energetic staccato riffing, dual-guitar harmonies, melodic acoustic passages, complex arrangements, and plenty of double kick drums. These are combined most effectively on
"Colors,"
"When the Night Falls,"
and
"Angel's Holocaust,"
but it's probably the outstanding
"Desert Rain,"
with its atmospheric guitar intro, and the epic nine-minute
"Travel in Stygian"
that show
Iced Earth
at their inventive best. [
Days of Purgatory
was also made available in a two-disc, 20-track edition.] ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
