But after 4 weeks together we became friends and I really mean FRIENDS, you know that kinda friend you can call in the middle of the night if you really need to. So one night at the local bar the night before his flight were supposed to go back he decided to stay, and this after being 4 weeks in our studio already! And with Jens we have the solid ground that never let us down and that make us perform that little extra out of every take in the studio. I hardly think we will ever work without him”.
Ronny enthuses: “I really believe that our fans can hear the true passion and brotherhood in the production of Pandeamonium”.
Final Tracklisting of “Pandeamonium” includes: Deception; The Only One Sane; Pandeamonium; Eyes of the Devil; A Day to Come; Way Home; Fallen Angel; The Deamon Within; Oceans of Glory; Fear In a Fragile Mind. Also includes Pandeamonium (videoclip)

This Swedish/Norwegian band, named after a fictive ghost rider called S. Deamon, was formed in 2006 by drummer Ronny Milianowicz after a 7 year long successful era with Swedish/German melodic metal band Dionysus.

The Saint Deamon line up was then complete and started to work on the debut album, under the guidance of the high acclaimed monster producer Jens Bogren, best known for his excellent work with Symphony X, Hammerfall, Opeth, Katatonia and Dionysus.
