Artist: SAINT DEAMON
Album: PADEAMONIUM (CD)

Year: 2009
Media type: CD

The Swedish/Norwegian band Saint Deamon, debuted in early 2008 with a stunning album “In Shadows Lost From the Brave”, a record that garnered great acclaim from both critics and fans.

Named after a fictitious ghost rider called S. Deamon, and with a nod towards the contrast between the heavenly/diabolical feel of the name, the band was put together in 2006 by drummer Ronny Milianowicz (ex Dionysus and songwriter for Primal Fear, Cans and Place Vendome among others), together with bass player Nobby Noberg (also ex Dyonisus), guitar virtuoso Toya Johansson and the golden voice of the Norwegian Jan Thore Grefstad (ex Highland Glory).

Saint Deamon are now back, just over a year after the release of their debut album, with a strong head wind in their sails with the worthy follow up “Pandeamonium”.

Produced by two of the worlds most famous Heavy Metal producers, Roy Z (Judas Priest, Halford, Helloween, Bruce Dickinson, who also co-wrote the album’s title track with the band) & Jens Bogren (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Amon Amarth), “Pandeamonium” shows a well oiled Metal machine that has no limits in terms of inspiration, musical direction and focus, dedicated members or professionalism.

Saint Deamon toured extensively in 2008 with gigs in Sweden, Norway, Austria, Italy, England and USA and they also played some of the world’s finest metal festivals like Prog Power US and Bloodstock UK and even managed to headline certain festivals, a first for a band with a debut release just available and the plan for 2009 is to continue to tour at the same break-neck pace.

The excellent album artwork was designed by Thomas Holmstrand (Dyonisus, Synergy etc)

As founder and drummer Ronny Milianowicz enthuses: “I really believe that our fans can hear the true passion and brotherhood in the production of Pandeamonium”. So prepare to sail on, on the Metal seas, with SAINT DEAMON and their crew into the “Pandeamonium”!
