Jon Schaffer’s Sons Of Liberty release official video for “Jekyll Island”

The official music video for “Jekyll Island” from his recently released reimagining of his most uncompromising work has been released by Jon Schaffer, the founder, chief songwriter, and driving force behind legendary heavy metal acts Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards, Sons Of Liberty, Jon Schaffer’s Purgatory, and the Schaffer/Barlow project, as per Blabbermouth. “Sons Of Liberty – Thought Crimes (Volumes 1 & 2)” by Jon Schaffer is a daring new mix that combines the unadulterated spirit of the “Spirit Of The Times” EP (2011) and the “Brush-fires Of The Mind” LP (2009), giving new life to a message that has proven eerily prophetic in a time of growing global challenges. After the release of “Full Spectrum Dominance” and “Molon Labe,” “Jekyll Island” is the third music video from the new album.

‘Jekyll Island’ is based on the must-read book by G. Edward Griffin ‘The Creature From Jekyll Island’. If we want to make positive change in the world, it’s important to understand the nature of the monetary system that we live under. This book is a great place to start your journey of understanding. It was obvious to me in 2009 when I wrote this song that it had the right energy to open the record. – Jon Schaffer

Elevating the original recordings to new heights, “Thought Crimes (Volumes 1 & 2)” features newly recorded live drums by longtime collaborator Mark Prator, whose unmistakable groove powered classic releases by Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards, and Jon Schaffer’s Purgatory. A modern, muscular mix by legendary producer Jim Morris, paired with fresh mastering by BJ Ramone, delivers a sonic experience that is both raw and refined — organic, powerful, and unapologetically human.

The physical editions are designed for collectors and longtime supporters, headlined by a limited double black vinyl LP housed in a gatefold jacket with an 8-page booklet, strictly limited to 500 copies. Additional formats include a deluxe leather box CD, a digipak CD, cassette editions, and special color vinyl variants, with an ultra-limited run available exclusively through the official Iced Earth store.
