Purgatory is a Persian (Iranian) Thrash/Death Metal band. It was formed in 2004 in Tehran. Purgatory was formed by Shahab Moradi, vocalist, drummer and former member of Death Metal band, The Tarantists. After starting the band, he started writing music with guitarist Sina Azadnia. They composed songs such as Red Death and When Angels Desire To Die (which later changed name to Heros) together. After working for a couple of years, they started jamming with guitarist Amin Sameti and bassist Mohammad Hallaji, formers of Thrash/Death Metal band Artia. They started writing songs together at the first days of summer 2007, but unfortunately they separated because of the lack of agreement on genres, so they ended up working with each other as a band at the end of summer.

[edit] Influence
Purgatory is obviously influenced by bands such as Slayer and Kreator. But they have never denied their honor and respect for Extreme Death Metal bands such as Nile. Their lyrics are also influenced by bands like Death. Their lyrics usually have philosophical theme and are mostly about death.
