BEDEMON Featuring Bobby Liebling & Geof O’Keefe To Reissue ‘Child Of Darkness’ Via Relapse

Relapse Records is proud to announce the official re-release of BEDEMON‘s archival recordings, Child Of Darkness. Widely considered America’s first doom metal band, BEDEMON formed in 1973 and consisted of original Pentagram members Randy Palmer, Geof O’Keefe, and Bobby Liebling. The group was an offshoot of Pentagram, with a darker and doomier tone. BEDEMON recorded various sessions spanning from 1973-1979 which are being made available once again after being out-of-print for over 10 years.

Additionally, the release includes extensive liner notes from original members Mike Matthews and Geof O’Keefe and is a must for fans of Pentagram or traditional doom metal. BEDEMON‘s Child Of Darkness is truly a crucial glimpse into the nihilistic minds that gave birth to an entire genre!

BEDEMON is:
Randy Palmer (deceased), visionary songwriter and guitarist
Mike Matthews, bass and lead guitars
Geof O’Keefe, drums and lead guitar
Bobby Liebling, lead vocals
