After releasing their first single All Hail the Despot a few weeks ago, Paindemonium is back with a hard-hitting track, Conflation, which will appear on their highly anticipated upcoming album Latent. This new single features none other than Tim "Ripper" Owens, the ex-vocalist of Judas Priest, adding even more weight to the band's already powerful sound.
The song opens with technical instrumental play, and within seconds, Owens' powerful voice kicks in. As energetic as ever, his performance adds a unique dimension to this technically driven track. The compositions are both raw and melodic, with crushing growls throughout. The track stands out for its nuance, featuring multiple tempo changes that keep the listener engaged. The instrumental chorus once again brings to mind the sound of modern Necrophobic, just like in their first single.
