When you're looking for a dose of hard rock with blistering drumming, wiry melodies and grandiose vocals, look no further than New Hampshire's Purge d.i. Their tense, edge-of-your-seat attack is a perfect complement to the dawning of a new Millennium." Six years in the making, and in production of their third release, Purge d.i. has methodically climbed to the top of the New England music scene, selling more than 5000 albums at shows alone.
With charismatic lead singer Jay Bellaud fronting the band, every note is filled with power and emotion. Drummer Bob Austin is one with his drum kit, delivering a pulse pounding performance every step of the way. Meanwhile Randy Ladd on bass and Keith Cuscia on lead guitar rip it up to deliver a wild, mind-blowing performance. The band's unpredictable antics and synchronicity on stage create a performance matched by few, over shadowed by none. They concentrate tenaciously on preparation and rehearsal, not stopping until personal perfection is reached, having the undeniable "what it takes" attitude every step of the way.
After being a mainstay in many local clubs, the Band began working on increasing their exposure by signing on with a small independent record label, Ass 9 Records, in November of 2001. Since aligning itself with Ass 9Records, Purge d.i. has been playing major metropolitan areas such as Boston, MA, Rochester, NY, and Springfield, MA, has acquired national distribution, obtained spots on multiple compilation albums, and been incorporated into national promotions with Universal Buzz, which amongst other things introduced Purge d.i. material to executives and artists alike at the KORN: "Untouchables" album release party in Sacramento, CA. Also playing a private VIP show for national acts Slipknot, Linkin Park, Disturbed and Mudvayne gained them recognition and respect amongst all involved. The college market, radio stations across New England, Broadjam (a national review mechanism), and many others have recently swept up Purge d.i., landing all 3 of Purge d.i.'s recording efforts on multiple top ten lists.
Purge d.i. has taken their passion for the music to a level which demands notoriety. A steady line of gigs, including opening spots for Days of the New, Godsmack, Fuel, Powerman 5000, Monster Magnet, Cold, 6 Gig, Mourning Widows and Second Coming, and an unbridled determination to become the biggest and best rock band in the industry, will take them to heights in which all to follow will strive to match.

If you like Tool and Korn.....
author: Jamie EricksonLike I said, if you like Tool and Korn, you will like this CD. A little more on the hard rock side from time to time, but great none the less.
I LOVE this band!
author: GinaI stumbled upon thier song "Faces" on a mixed CD and had to get their other works! and I'm IN LOVE with this CD now!
Godsmack watch out, Purge DI is right on your tail
author: Steve CrossmanThis CD was a pleasant surprise. I had seen them listed for local venues the last couple years, and Rock 101 mentions them, but had never heard their music. The cd has been played several times since I got it. Great mix of Godsmack, Staind, AIC style tunes but they definitely have their own sound. I look forward to getting their other cd for my collection.
very good band

Finaly
author: Eric ClementsFinaly there is a band that knows what real heavy music should sond like.
High voltage durable rock!
author: Laura T. Lynch of Kweevak.comPurge d.i.'s sound is dramatic and powerful. It is a blend of stripped down metal and alternative that digs deep. Pensive lyrics, pulsing rhythms and hard driving guitar chords set the tense tone of this CD. Jay Bellaud the lead vocalist, sings with feeling and force and the rest of the band intensifies that energy. Their music creates visual images that are dark, profound and poetic. This band could be influenced by Creed but their sound is still original. 'Decline' the opening track starts off with strong guitar chords, intense vocals and a heavy beat. The song is dynamic with is musical twists and turns. It is followed by 'Weight' another heavily rhythmic song with potent percussion, emotional vocals and strong instrumentation. Although I favored the first two tracks on this collection there is plenty of good material to be found on this CD.
Great from start to finish!!
author: MariaSometimes you buy a disc cause you heard a song you liked and the rest just plain stink! This disc is awesome from the opening song. Vocals are incredible! I hope to be able to catch a show in my area soon. Where have these guys been?
