I stole their demo from De Boerderij, venue in The Netherlands, where I was a volunteer at that time. I liked it quite a lot. All the songs on that demo (‘Free strokes’, ‘Slavemind’ and ‘Created again’) are also on their debut album. Pandemia play Death Metal with some influences of Krabathor which isn’t a surprise as they’re from the same country.
They’ve released a very decent debut album, with some good songs and a good production. However, for an album, the expectancies and demands are a bit higher than for a demo. What I’m trying to say is that Pandemia might make a better impression with their 2nd album. Now they’re “just” one of the bands who released a good debut album but which didn’t make impression to really make a jump from the “pack”.
Anyway, if you like your Death Metal with no bullshit, you really could check Pandemia out for yourself, as they’re still a lot better than lots of other bands.
