Pandemonic: Early Werewolf Metal
An excerpt from Tah the Trickster's essay, as seen in WEREWOLVES VERSUS: MUSIC.
Pandemonic was a thrash metal band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden. They are the earliest example of the "werewolf metal" trend later adopted by more modern bands such as Powerwolf, GrimWolf, and Canis Lupus, describing themselves often as “werewolf worshipping thrash metal.”
The band itself cited many big name thrash metal musical influences such as Testament, Exodus, King Diamond, and Slayer. Many reviewers and interviewers noted in particular the similarities between Pandemonic and Slayer, as vocalist Micke Ullenius frequently employed high-pitched screams in the vein of Slayer frontman Tom Araya. The band has mentioned that, while the screams began as a joke, they were later seriously incorporated into the music because “people seemed to like them.”

Cleaned up some concept art into a poster. I'm a bit rusty on design work so I'll be working on fixing that... The wretch from Inertia (which I really need to post). Inertia is a story occurring within the same verse as Pandemonic (although it is actually before-and-during the start of the story). The wretch is an albino nosferatu, which accounts for the pale skin, pink eyes, and blond hair (the particular family this one is from are mostly dark-skinned with dark hair). Anyone ever read a fantasy story where racism is kind of treated as just naturally occurring but its effects are not really addressed? I don't like those kinds of stories. Inertia is, I suppose, my protest against it. Or maybe just my way of trying to reason it out. High-resolution version of this and other artwork are available on patreon (to $2 and up tiers.) Font used is Dense by Charlesdaoud. Art and character are (c) to me
