Purgatory and Iced Earth DemosPurgatory - Burning OasisDemo, 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. |

Ok here is Psychotic Dreams 2 Song Demo. (Mods and admins, if you feel this is not the place to put this demo or even to put demos up at all feel free to delete this link)
Purgatory: Psychotic Dreams (192 kbps) Demo recorded in 1985 at the Morrisound Studios, Tampa, Florida, USA Gene Adams - lead vocal Bill Owens - lead guitar Jon Schaffer - rhythm guitar Richard Bateman - bass Greg Seymour - drums Total time 8:52 01. Jack 02. In Jason's Mind 01. Jack (3:42) Music / Lyrics : Jon Schaffer Out in the streets Out in the night Slime oozes from her gutter Street walkin' bitch Makin' it rich Desperate man involved Take a knife Take her life Worthless debutante Jack is out there Jack is near Jack be nimble Jack brings fear Jack has blades and axes, too Jack had blades, I warned you One more block And you'll be safe If you get that lucky But you don't You poor thing His axe is swinging proudly Jack is out there Jack is near Jack be nimble Jack brings fear Jack has blades and axes, too Jack had blades, I warned you Swing his axe Twenty whacks And you're into bite-sized peices Take his knife Slice your life Shreaded prostitution Jack has won In Jacks mind Jack has the resolution 02. In Jason's Mind (5:10) Music : Jon Schaffer, Bill Owen / Lyrics : Gene Adams He's the creeper in the night He's the reaper with a knife He wears a mask to hide his face He's always ready for the chase Killing for the vengeance Of his mothers death He's got murder on his breath Run from the creeper Hide in the night His knife is plunging deeper He's got you wrapped up tight Creeper in the night Reaper with a knife Creeper take your life Reaper with a killing bite Down in the lake He's gaining his strength His vision is blurred His mind is obscured From behind a tree Or underneath your bed He's looking for you He'll cut off your head Behind his mask He lies in wait His mind is obsessed He's gone insane only to know the look in his eyes The pain and the fear And the tast of spite Creeper in the night Reaper with a knife Creeper take your life Reaper with a killing bite |

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. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11xFdnh4SxM |
||
| The Wicked One |
its good but that obviously is not the whole song........Dammit there has to be a way to find the old demos.
so far we haven't heard Dracula Jason Plea of Insanity Labotomy Burning Oasis |
||
| BurntOfferings666 |
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. | ||
| The Wicked One |
yay!!!
if its cool and all hook us up. |
||
| paranoidmexican009 |
yea. i would love you if you burned me copies of them on a cd and mailed them to me | ||
| Stormrider |
YES PLEASE POST Burning Oasis and Horror Show! And '89 Demos if you get it!! | ||
| skully |
This is actually the IE version of Haunted House...the Purgatory version went on to become another IE tune....not sure which on tho. Tobi probably knows which one it is now. |
||
| Icedbiker1776 |
Well, I have a CD with some Purgatory songs on them.
1. Haunted House from the demo, full version. and the next songs live. 2. Burning Oasis 3. Creature of the Black Lagoon 4. Lost in Time.......written by Bill Owen and Richard Bateman 5. Stormrider 6. Jack 7. Purgatory 8. Bladed Chain. I got these from my friend Tobi. Also on there was the Psychotic Dreams demo, but that's already posted here. I could convert those to MP3's but I don't have a site to host them, xso I can't put them up, sorry. |
||
| The Wicked One |
well the Psychotic Dreams demo was off of a facebook hookup. any chance you can try doing that?
Then there is rapidshare |
||
| Icedbiker1776 |
Ok, I hope this will work. Here's a link to the Horror Show Demo.
http://members.home.nl/icedbiker1776/HorrorShowDemo Have fun with it. As soon as I have more time I'll put up some other stuff. For anybody of you that's interested. As you guys know....when Bill Owen and Greg Seymour left Purgatory, they formed a band called The Sanctum. Here are some pictures and the Demo they made. http://members.home.nl/icedbiker1776/Sanctum |
||
| skully |
Thanks for putting the Sanctum stuff up Jan....I lost alot of that stuff with my old computer. |
||
| Dante |
Thanks for putting those old songs up Icedbiker1776...
Anyone has the lyrics to Dracula? |
||
| The Wicked One |
Sweet.
Thanks for this. |
||
| skully |
Here's the lyrics to Dracula by Gene Adam The sun is gleaming in A shadow is cast A soul lies waiting Waiting to rise The father of darkness is how he is known In the tomb he lies dormant Awaiting the night He lives for the taste of the night He lives for the final bite And when he comes calling It's death at your door The father of darkness His soul never rests He'll make you the undead Forever his slave The sun is rising up He returns to rest Awaiting his calling He's calling for you Flying through windows He's got you entranced You won't wake tomorrow You've taken his mark He wants to possess you Your blood is his life His eyes are gleaming His teeth like a knife His princess of darkness You'll die for his bite And when he comes calling It's death at your door An unliving horror He sleeps by day The blood of you fills him It's what gives him life A prisoner of the night He awaits his next bite On the wings of the darkness He's flying to you |
||
| Stormrider |
Cool, now all we need is Burning Oasis and the '89 Demos!! Thanks! | ||
| Dante |
Thanks for the lyrics skully!
Yeah put some more songs up, please. Edit: At Dracula 2:57 doesn't that sounds like Diary 3:50 (that forbidden love may only taste this sweet)? |
||
| skully |
Good ear bro Dave told me they later used that passage in that very song. |
||
| The Sexiest Metalhead |
I do like these. Well, I truly like any Iced Earth song, so, it's not saying much  .
|
||
| Dante |
Actually it's not an Iced Earth song... |
||
| Stormrider |
So no one has the Purgatory Burning Oasis demo or Iced Earth Studio Demos '87 (or is it '89? I didn't look at the first thread again even though I wrote it, I forget things) yet to post? Oh well I know some one some where will have them posted sooner or later. | ||
| Aggelos Poneros |
I love you!!

| Icedbiker1776 |
Yes, in fact there is some one that has the Burning Oasis demo and the studio demo, but I doubt if you will ever find them on the net for downloading.
In fact I have both of them as originlas and so they are on tape. I have the only exsiting master tape of Burning Oasis. It's recorded with a 4-track in the garage of Richard Bateman's parents. I got this one from him. The demo they released is different then the master tape. They cut out some things. For the studio demo I got the original tape from Gene Adam from Morrisound. Only thing is, is that I have to dissappoint you. The band doesn't allow me to put both demos up for downloading. I had to promise that to Richard Bateman and Gene Adam. I know for sure that it will be hard to find them. |
||
| Stormrider |
And I wouldn't want you to break that promise. But there are folks who bought the cassette demos, it's fairly easy to hook up a cassette player (stereo, boombox, whatever) to the computer with the right cords. Anyway anyone with the Burning Oasis demo and Studio Demos? Please upload!
Now back to the Master tape. You say you have the only existing copy, that makes it the rarest of the rare. Kind of like Cradle Of Filth's Goetia demo, it was recorded but never released. It has been said that all the masters have long been destroyed, but some may have survived. No one has yet to find the surviving Goetia demos if indeed they exist. Of course (though I doubt it) someone may have gone the route you did and promised never to copy the demos (the internet I think just started in the early 90's, so I don't think the concept of downloading existed yet, so that couldn't have been a promise for the Goetia demo), if so than I would hope they do as you do and keep that promise. Like I said though as for the Purg demos they did make it to tapes to the public, someone has got to have them! If the Cradle demo was ever found someone is bound to upload it too. |

| sktl |
Does someone have Burning Oasis demo and can post it ? I'd love to listen to it. | ||
| Shorty |
Could someone rip the songs of the horror show demo?
What I don't understand:On the Dark Genesis box is written that the Psychotic Dreams and the Horror Show demo are 8-track demos,which are these other songs?Because we have only the 2 songs of PD and 3 of HS |
||
| The Wicked One |
8 tracks were actually the name of these huge cassette looking things. Not to mention money and time come into affect here. Cassettes came after. |
||
| Tainted Innocence |
iced earth is that old? | ||
| The Wicked One |
dude just because things like cassettes and cds were coming up. doesn't mean they are always available. You use what you got. Since cassettes were coming out the 8 track recordings would drop in price. And yes Purgatory was running around in the mid-late 80s. |

| Stormrider |
Here are rapidshare versions of Purgatory Psychotic Dreams and Horror Show. Icedbiker1776 still has his link up on page 2 of this thread for Horror Show if you don't like Rapidshare. http://rapidshare.com/files/103772639/1986_-_Horror_Show_Demo.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/10378...ory_-_Psychotic_Dreams__demo_.rar |

| Shorty |
I have seen the link but I want them on my pc you know? | ||
| Stormrider |
I don't understand what you want then, cause when you download these files, they are on your pc. Unless you are talking about something else altogether. | ||
| Shorty |
I had some problems and so i couldn't download them from the link,so I asked if someone can rip them (now I have it,thx stormrider) | ||
| The Wicked One |
The Purgatory Myspace has Burning Oasis song up. right now we only need labotomy and burning Oasis demo is completeish, we already have repeats for Jack and In Jason's Mind.
though i have to say Gene's vocal intervals are downright annoying in this song. |
||
| The Sexiest Metalhead |
What's the link to the Purgatory myspace? I can't find it just by searching... |
||
| The Wicked One |
http://www.myspace.com/therealpurgatory60 | ||
| Dante |
Yay i have Burning Oasis now!!!
|
||
| Aggelos Poneros |
So do I 
|
||
| The Wicked One |
NO WAI!?
i do too XD |
||
| Aggelos Poneros |
really?!
|
||
| The Wicked One |
no.....lol
seeing as how i posted the fact that they had it up here first.... |
||
| Stormrider |
too bad the rest of the demo is not available | ||
| The Wicked One |
the only song we need from that demo is lobotomy right? | ||
| Aggelos Poneros |
right 
anyone knows who's runnig the page? |
||
| The Sexiest Metalhead |
How do you plan on finding it? |
||
| The Wicked One |
well the dude (if he/she really is from germany) might have them but is still converting the files from the tapes to the comp. And since it is a myspace, some1 somewhere will file share with the myspace.
Though seeing as how it has the Burning Oasis song, Lobotomy is probably just waiting in the wing to be uplouded |
||
| Stormrider |
So is Jack and Jason the same recordings as on the other demos? Or are they different recording sessions? I only ask cause I am one of those idiot die hard fans that has to have all the recordings I can get (I prefer buying the real things of course, but stuff like the demos which will no doubt fetch way to high a price on ebay or where ever, I am happy with a cdr or downloaded copy of those songs). I know they are the same songs but just wondering if they are from different sessions. | ||
| The Wicked One |
i have both the Horror Show and Psychotic Dreams demos.
I think out of laziness and the success of those 2 songs they stayed the same and just hich-hiked onto the other demos. |
||
| Vengeance |
I have only five songs and I need the third one from Burning Oasis - Lobotomy...
I want the Studio Demos, but hard to find... 
I can upload them if you want
|
||
| The Sexiest Metalhead |
I really want to hear that song. |
||
| Dante |
