Iron Maiden – Purgatory

Iron Maiden – Purgatory

Off the Killers album, Iron Maiden’s second album.

Purgatory was one of the band’s least successful singles and failed to break into the Top 50 in the UK charts. This may relate to the fact that this was their only single released with both a- and b-side already available on album in the same form. An interesting fact about this single is that the original cover art was withdrawn. The band had felt that it was too high of caliber for just a single and requested a less complex cover be prepared in its place. The withdrawn cover later resurfaced as The Number of the Beast album. Ironically, “Purgatory” is among the most recognizable and merchandized Iron Maiden art images.

    I don’t know about you guys but I think this Maiden song sounds like a cross over with both 80′s heavy metal with 80′s hardcore punk. I’m really surprised that this song is even underated. IT’S SO HEAVY AND ROCKING!!! MAKES ME WANNA MOSH THE OUT!!!
