Technical blackened death metal project Paindemonium has unleashed the second track, "Conflation (feat. Tim "Ripper" Owens)", from its upcoming album, Latent, due later this year.
Paindemonium's guitarist/vocalist Raafat "Raaf" Atasi comments: "The song features none other than Tim Ripper Owens on guest vocals, where he and I trade clean vocals and growls respectively throughout the song. His appearance is crucial to the song because he contributes an important part to the album story and completes the vision in the best way possible. This song is different from the first single, "All Hail the Despot" - it shows a different colour of the band and the new album. It is the only song with clean vocals and it doesn't rely on black metal to deliver the brutality and intensity needed for the song. It will be very interesting to hear your opinions and so we can't wait for you all to hear this new beast of a song".
