Purgatory - Burning Oasis
Demo, Self Released
1985
1. Burning Oasis
2. Jack
3. Lobatomy
4. Jason

Purgatory - Psychotic Dreams
Demo, independent
1985
1. Jack
2. In Jason's Mind

Purgatory - Horror Show
Demo, Self Released
1986
1. Jack
2. In Jason's Mind
3. Dracula

Their first three demos when they were called Purgatory. The songs Jack and Dracula are totally different songs than the ones that would later be on IE "Horror Show" and the "Horror Show" demo is also not a demo of the Iced Earth album Horror Show, they are totally different entities.

Iced Earth - Enter the Realm
Demo, Self-released
November 1st, 1988
1. Enter The Realm
2. Colors 0
3. Nightmares
4. Curse The Sky
5. Solitude
6. Iced Earth

Iced Earth - Studio Demos '89
Demo, Self-produced
1989
This is actually a collection of demo songs that the band had written over the years and recorded. They were compiled together and used to select the best songs. All of the songs either made it onto the debut album or were later recycled into other songs. Haunted House was later rewritten as Tearing Down The Wall and appears on the first Demons & Wizards album, and Plea Of Insanity later became Jekyll & Hyde on the Horror Show album.
1. Haunted House
2. Written On The Walls
3. Life And Death
4. The Funeral
5. Plea Of Insanity

My question is is it possible to obtain mp3's of these demos (I already have the Purgatoy "Psychotic Dreams" demo on mp3, just need the other two, and the Studio Demos from IE, I have Enter The Realm from the Box Set)? I cant find them anywhere.

good stuff
favorite of the 2 is Jack, the drum pounding is great in this.

We must go on a crusade to find this stuff. and its not like we are breaking any laws. that stuff is most definetly out of print, therefore we can share it without any1 bitching.

I have all 3 demos in their entirety. The 89 demo is extremely hard to find, but I'll ask Greg Seymour and Bill Owen, they might have copies laying around that I can get my hands on.
