Pandemonium (Killing Joke album)

Pandemonium is the ninth studio album by English rock band Killing Joke, released on 2 August 1994 by record label Butterfly. This album marked Killing Joke's return after a four-year-long hiatus, the longest the band has taken since it was initially founded. This album also featured the return of founding member Martin "Youth" Glover, who replaced Paul Raven on bass.

Content

Frontman Jaz Coleman considered Pandemonium to be a conceptual album on the external influence of Arabic music that was spread throughout the entire album. It also incorporated his perspective on life, which is apparent in songs such as "Labyrinth" and "Pleasures of the Flesh".

The title track, as well as "Communion" and "Whiteout", would become live staples of the band.

Release

Pandemonium was released on 2 August 1994 by record label Butterfly.

The album was reissued in remastered form in 2005, featuring two new tracks: a remix of "Another Cult Goes Down" and an experimental dub remix of "Pandemonium".

Pandemonium (Torture Squad album)

Pandemonium is the fourth album of the Brazilian Death/Thrash metal band Torture Squad

The album was released in 2003, and videoclips for "Pandemonium" and "Horror and Torture" were made. Following the videos, a tour all over Brazil was realized between 2003 and 2005. In 2006 the group embarked on a European tour, headlining in 16 towns in Germany and 4 in Austria. Afterward they played in more cities in Brazil until they participated in the Brazilian pre-selection for the famed Wacken Open Air festival. They eventually won the final in São Paulo, and they represented Brazil at Wacken Battle of the Bands 2007, which they won. This victory won them a contract with Armageddon Records (Germany); Mauricio Nogueira also won the "best guitar player" award, which earned him a brand new Dean guitar and a Marshall pre-amp.

The themes of the songs are basically political/anti-war songs like in "Pandemonium" and "Towers On Fire" (Which deals with the 9/11 attack in the US), poverty like in world of misery, and horror like in "Horror and Torture".
