First of all I have to thank JCM Records for sending me an exemplar
of the new Pandemonium CD which is called Insomnia. Pandemonium is a
band from Sweden and to describe the style they play can be very
difficult. Before I get this CD I had the possibilty to listen to one
of the tracks of this album and I was really surprised. I can not
really name any other Melodic Death Metal band you can compare with
Pandemonium. As I hold the full CD in my hands and put it into the
player my expectations were not dissapointed . Pandemonium used a lot
of Keyboards on this album which have major influences to the music.
All tracks sound very melodic, especially " Midnight Phobia". In my
opinion it is the slowest and most emotional track on the album. In
contrast of this the vocals are very deep so that the music sounds a
bit like old Amorphis . On the other hand it is worth mentioning that
also clean vocals were used. Pandemonium have the ability to create
wonderful songs with a deep atmosphere mixed with a more or less dark
sound. Tracks I can recommend are "The Hollow Grounds", "Descending
Shadows" and " Midnight Phobia". At least there can be said that this
album is a piece of music that every fan of Melodic Death Metal
should have in his collection. You can get it directly over
