Gothic. Tribal. Folk. Metal. Metal that grows leaves, flowers and thorns and forms a sonic hedge you find yourself suddenly caught within, pushed through to the other side of, to explore a landscape where disparate elements come together to form a running creature of sound to carry you. It's not quite safe here, there's something dangerous like the Wild Hunt. Influenced by Tribal culture and Myth, after a long hiatus, Pandemonaeon returns to the public eye with the fires of inspiration burning strong in their third recording, "Dangerous Beauty."
Most songs are written by Sharon Knight
and Winter—but a couple of tracks show their pagan/magickal influences as they compose music for lyrics by Aleister Crowley and Victor Anderson.
More simply put, as one music fan describes them, Pandemonaeon is "music for bellydancers in combat boots."
