Baptised in blood, born of necessity and brought, into being by three-fifths of UK thrash originals Purgatory, TRAPPED IN PURGATORY pull no punches and make no apologies. Theirs is a thrash-fuelled aural assault, uncompromising and unyielding, yet retaining an old school metal sensibility.

This is not a reformation but a rebirth. TRAPPED IN PURGATORY incorporates a killer new
rhythm section, comprising members of Fourwaykill and Mercury Rain, both veterans of
the metal scene that spawned Purgatory back at the thrash end of the Eighties.


Put this all in the cauldron, crank up the heat and you have a recipe for a beautiful disaster, a joyous torment of relentless riffs and take-no-prisoner vocals. The five-piece outfit are currently finalising their debut album ‘Damned Nation' which features ten brand-new tracks, with everything from fast, punk-tinged thrash to slower, groove-laden cuts and atmospheric twists...
