The group was originally formed during the autumn of 1989 under the name PANDEMONIUM. The founders were PAUL (guitar, vocal) and PETER (percussion) who was also called ZUBER (eng. BISON). During that time there were no music bands of this nature in Poland and in the West there was only SAMAEL, CELTIC FROST and BATHORY. The lack of such bands was the reason why they gained so many fans. The music PANDEMONIUM played can best be described as very hard and very slow. In December of 1990 PANDEMONIUM registered its first material which was recorded in the hall of rehearsals, Reh Tape. It contains four recordings, three of them were original compositions by PANDEMONIUM, and the fourth being a cover of SAMAEL "Into the Pentagram". The material was recorded with the participation of a bassist, SIMON, who later became a regular member of the group. As a trio PANDEMONIUM gave many concerts all over the country. There was a great deal of talk and many articles written about the group. After several concerts PANDEMONIUM became one of the most popular bands in Poland right next to KAT, IMPERATOR and VADER. The end result was a contract with CARNAGE Records. From left: Peter, Simon, Paul The band"s first officially published material was a demo called "Devilri". It was recorded in Olsztyn, during the winter of 1992. The six songs that the album contained took on an almost religious characteristic for many people. The tens of thousands of copies sold made it the best selling demo in the world, which was a great achievement in those days. A huge advertising campaign further aroused people?s interest in PANDEMONIUM. After the next round of concerts it was high time they recorded a full-length album. At the time SIMON, the bassist, left the band and the support of their producers CARNAGE came to an end. They signed a new bassist, JACK, was from the P³ock group HAZAEL, and BARON Records filled the void that CARNAGE left. Composed in this manner, PANDEMONIUM entered the Warsaw studio IZABELIN and recorded "The Ancient Catatonia". During the session things heated to a point that PAUL and ZUBER got into a fight, that is why during the second half of the album KAROL, from IMPERATOR, played percussion. During the same session PANDEMONIUM gained a second guitarist, QUACK, from the Warsaw group HATE. The whole album was published in 1994 and had a premiere in Zabrze at the music festival Metalmania, where such bands as MORBID ANGEL, SAMAEL, and CANNIBAL CORPSE performed. This concert was the culminating point for the whole existence of PANDEMONIUM. After the concert PAUL made the decision that PETER had to leave, KAROL took his place full time. From left: Karol, Jack,Paul After a few concerts the band learned that ZUBER had a patent for the name and logo for PANDEMONIUM. PAUL had to change the name, so he chose DOMAIN. A few months later, the group entered a studio in £ód? to record new material under the perverse title "Pandemonium". MORBID NOIZZ Records published the album, which came out at the end of 1995 and was the last material the group recorded during that period. Troubles with the composition of the group forced PAUL to suspend the band"s activities. Three years passed then PAUL got a call from his old pal Mittloff from HATE. "What do you think about reactivating DOMAIN?" Mittloff asked. In a week the band came together like a phoenix rising from its ashes and rehearsals began anew. That"s how the material for the new album "From Oblivion" originated. The title considers the whole confusion with PANDEMONIUM and DOMAIN. "... From Oblivion..." was recorded in the Warsaw studio SERAKOS by PAUL (guitar, vocal), Mittloff (percussion), MIKE (bass), and DOMINIC (second guitar). The album was released in March of 2000 edited by APOCALYPSE Productions. The bands first concert since reactivation took place in club Riff-Raff in £ód?. From left: Mittloff, Paul, Dominic, Mike After a few months DOMINIC left the group and V-AC took his place. With that make-up they toured Poland together with CHRIST AGONY and SUPREME LORD... During the spring of 2002 DOMAIN entered studio SERAKOS yet again to record a sensational new album "GAT ETEMMI" which features guest appearances by Robert Strzelnicki (keyboards) and Ewy Frakstein (angelvoice). The album was highly valued even by old fans of PANDEMONIUM, though a considerable amount of electronic sounds. Unfortunately, a lack of appropriate promotion and some personal misunderstandings among the members of DOMAIN caused that Mittloff left the band and the band itself had to suspend its activities for several months. The foretold tournée didn`t take place either. .... Some time passed. PAUL decided to revive DOMAIN once again and there couldn`t be spared another revolution. Wanting to try something new, developping the conception of "GAT ETEMMI" at the same time, PAUL resolved to use in a new project industrial synthetic drums instead "live drums". Searching for a programmist didn`t last long - MAELS from Strommousheld got this part. He will also be in charge of composing the key-sample elements. MIKE remained a bassist and MARK became a second guitarist...the time has come for a new age.... (Source: Official Site)
