PURGED

Known originally simply as Purge, Purged was a Melbourne thrash metal band with a contemporary sound like early Machine Head. The band won support slots to White Zombie and Deicide on their Australian tours and impressed with their strong modern thrash style. Their first album 'Form of Release' won them major interest from offshore, with US label Metal Blade picking Purged up for overseas distribution. A second album, 'Balance Of Power' was released in 1999 to little fanfare and Purged disappeared without trace shortly afterward. Warren Hammond became a producer and established the Penny Drop Audio recording studio producing bands like Eaten By Dogs, Be'lakor and Mortification
