Jon Schaffer, the founder, chief songwriter, and driving force behind iconic heavy metal acts Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards, Sons Of Liberty, Jon Schaffer’s Purgatory, and the Schaffer/Barlow Project, returns with a powerful reimagining of his most unflinching work.

Jon Schaffer’s Sons Of Liberty – Thought Crimes (Volumes 1 & 2) is a bold new mix that fuses the raw essence of the Brush-Fires Of The Mind LP (2009) and the Spirit Of The Times EP (2011), breathing fresh life into a message that has proven eerily prophetic in an era of escalating world challenges.

Thought Crimes (Volumes 1 & 2) is out now on all streaming platforms, inviting listeners everywhere, old or new, to discover its urgency. For collectors, a special physical rollout will arrive via The Circle Music on July 4, marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This includes a double gatefold vinyl edition in five vibrant colors (with an exclusive limited run of 100 copies available only at icedearthmerch.com), a luxurious limited-edition leather box CD, and a sleek digipak CD, and cassette.
