Bio:

Paindemonium is a technical blackened death metal band. Formed in egypt in 2007, and is now located in the netherlands/germany. The band was founded by raafat “raaf” atasi (guitars/vocals), mohamed salama (guitars/vocals) haitham aly (bass), and started out as a dissection cover band before composing original material.

The band released its first ep ‘demonipathy’ in 2010 before disbanding that year due to political turmoil in the middle east. In 2020, the band was revived by raaf and salama after raaf’s relocation to the netherlands. In the same year, yazan ju joined the band as the new fulltime bassist and the band started working on the new concept album ‘latent’. Session drummer krzysztof klingbein (live drummer for vader, hate and belphegor) was hired to record drums for this release.

In 2022, and after recording a few songs, salama was no longer in the band. However, raaf and yazan continued the recording process, and the new album ‘latent’ is finalized and set to be released in 2024. All hail the despot’ was released in june 2024 as the band’s first single from the new record.
