[kj] Pandemonium Night

[Brendan Quinn]

To me, Black Moon conjures up the fascination and fear of the unknown, and
in particular the dark unknown of the inner self. It explores the
relationship between the conscious self and the subconscious self, or
shadow. It conveys the question of the nature of good and evil, not as
abstract concepts, but as a perpetual inner struggle. 

 

The singer takes you on a Lovecraftian first-person journey through a
struggle to understand the nature and origin of his dark side, his shadow,
tracing the lineage of pain in an unending legacy through past generations.
At the end he turns around to look at the nature of evil in himself and
challenge it, and the tone of the song conveys the terror and hopelessness
he feels as he attempts to pass through Chapel Perilous. 

 

Now that is something you DON’T get often, at least so eloquently and
viscerally articulated, with any other band. Except Tool.

 

The defence rests.

Pandemonium night = a celebration of album filler.

So who from the list is going to the Pandemonium night? I'll be right at the
front for 'Whiteout' and 'Exorcism'. Is the Cechomor violinist coming along,
since he played on the Pandemonium material in recent tours. He brought a
bit more presence to the songs than just having the keyboard player play the
samples (do we know who's handling keys?).

 

I'm guessing most people are either going to both or going to the first
night, but I honestly can't afford the expense of tickets, travel and
somewhere to stay just to stand at the bar during 'What's This For...!' (the
only one of their first six albums I'm not terribly fond of). If Big Paul
does any more shows in the future (perhaps playing material from the
consistently excellent Revelations, Firedances and Night Time) or actually
contributes to the album (not holding my breath there), I'll do my best to
try and catch him then, but for now I'll just have to settle for the
now-ironically-named Youth playing one of the best Killing Joke albums. I'll
still be at the bar for 'Jana', but you can't have everything. ;)

 

Jim.
