PANDEMONIUM (Poland) ......Black
Death Metal......
The beginning of a complex history of
Pandemonium dates back to the end of 1989, when
Paul and Peter aka Żuber (R.I.P),
fascinated by “Necronomicon” and inspired by
accomplishments of Hellhammer, Bathory, Venom
and Samael, bring into being a first band in
Poland which created such dark, majestic and
severe Black Metal. Their first official
publication, demo titled “Devilri”, which at
present is almost cult, was sold in thousands of
copies which made Pandemonium, next to Kat,
Vader and Imperator, one of the most popular
band of Polish underground in the 90’s. The
debut album “The Ancient Catatonia” only
established the position of the band,
strengthened its status and at the same time
contributed to the band’s growth in
importance. At that moment it seemed that the
Seventh Gate had just opened and Days of Glory
are to come…
Unfortunately, shortly afterwards, startling
time of Darkness began. Being at variance, the
two musicians were unable to carry the burden of
growing popularity and the youthful emotions
weren’t the best Counselor at that moment. The
misunderstandings between the two founders of
the group led to the band’s break-up and
unnecessary legal disputes which, as a result,
made the usage of the name “Pandemonium”
impossible for some time. Despite that situation
and disregarding the failures Paul tried to
carry on his crusade under the banner of a new
act Domain. However, even though he recorded
three very good albums with various musicians,
it was difficult to equal the success of the
first publications. It’s no use looking for
reasons of that situation… Nevertheless those
records are treated as an integral output of
Pandemonium because the world hates void and it
can be equally satisfied with a Substitute. It
was a strange epoch characterized by the
group’s reshuffle, ineffective contracts,
suspensions of activity but it was also a time
of the greatest test of character, reflection
and a creative experiment with the Dark Side of
the Sound.
Yet, the Fate turned out to be kind. New ideas
and new people appeared, but what is more
important, it became possible to return under
the stage name Pandemonium. Paul could take only
one decision – Reactivation of the group.
Within the next four years the band gave
occasional concerts, worked on new material and
recorded two venturous albums, both of which
were creative, even though completely different
stylistically. In spite of the Matter’s
resistance, Pandemonium began to gradually come
out of the shadows. The band, self-confident of
their value and maturity, began to follow an
individual path and started to work on a new,
almost ritual album “Misanthropy”. The next
phase of their procession is marked by a pact
signed with the old friends from Pagan Records
and Godz Ov War Productions – with their
participation the group wants to bring back the
Splendor of Past Days.
It is important to make a note of few
significant facts. Pandemonium is the first
metal band with this name which have been active
on a music stage for over 20 years, which makes
them a substantial part of the history of metal
music. Among their achievements there are many
publications, which have been re-edited several
times, they gave hundreds of concerts with such
recognised groups as Slayer, Celtic Frost,
Morbid Angel, Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Vader,
Samael, Unleashed, Asphyx, Desultory. Among the
members of Pandemonium used to be the musicians
of several important Polish bands, such as
Imperator, Hate, Hazael, Tenebris, Riverside.
