Archival Recordings From America's
First Doom Band To Be Released February 24th
Relapse Records is
proud to announce the official re-release of BEDEMON's archival
recordings, Child of Darkness. Widely considered America's first
doom metal band,BEDEMON formed in 1973 and consisted of original Pentagram members
Randy Palmer, Geof O'Keefe, and Bobby Liebling. The group was an offshoot of Pentagram,
with a darker and doomier tone. BEDEMON recorded various sessions
spanning from 1973-1979 which are being made available once again after being
out-of-print for over 10 years.
Child of
Darkness will be made
available on CD/LP on February 24th. Pre-Orders are available HERE while the title track is available for listening
via YouTube HERE and via Soundcloud HERE.
Additionally, the release includes extensive liner notes from original members Mike Matthews and Geof O'Keefe and is a must for fans of Pentagram or traditional doom metal. BEDEMON's Child of Darkness is truly a crucial glimpse into the nihilistic minds that gave birth to an entire genre!
Bedemon is:
Randy Palmer (deceased), visionary songwriter and guitarist
Mike Matthews, bass and lead guitars
Geof O'Keefe, drums and lead guitar
Bobby Liebling, lead vocals
