Bedemon was an American doom metal project active in recordings from 1973, formed by Pentagram guitarist Randy Palmer alongside bandmates Bobby Liebling and Geof O'Keefe. Never a performing band, the project existed solely in home recordings that captured an early and raw form of what would become doom metal, all recorded on home equipment and never intended for public release. The recordings were finally collected and issued as Child of Darkness: From the Original Master Tapes in 2004; a second album, Symphony of Shadows, was completed posthumously after Palmer's death in August 2002.
Finnish thrash/heavy metal band from Järvenpää, active since 1998. With over a quarter century of output, they are one of the most seasoned thrash acts in the Uusimaa region.
