Evemaster was formed in Finland in 1996, when Taskula got together with composer/arranger Tomi Mykkänen (who plays guitar and bass, and has been with another Finnish band called Shamos). Together, Taskula and Mykkänen are Evemaster's co-leaders, and instead of being totally self-contained, they employed various session players and guest musicians on their late-'90s and early 2000s recordings. Evemaster first entered the studio in 1996, when they recorded a three-song demo cassette titled In Thine Majesty; subsequently, that demo was reissued on CD in Bulgaria by the small Topheth label, and in Portugal on Ancient Ceremonies. In 1998, Evemaster's first official full-length album, Lacrimae Mundi, was released on KTOK Records in Finland; the following year, Lacrimae Mundi came out in Poland on the AMP label. After doing some more recording in 2001, Taskula and Mykkänen hoped that the Emerald Factory label would release their next CD, but it turned out that Emerald Factory was suffering from insufficient funds -- and so, the Finnish metalheads continued to shop their material and ended up working with Low Frequency Records. Evemaster returned to the studio in late 2002 and early 2003; between the recordings they had made in 2001, and the new songs, Low Frequency had enough material to assemble and release Evemaster's second full-length album, Wither. After coming out in Europe in 2003, Wither was released in the United States by Crash Music in early 2004. Unsatisfied with the original version of their debut, Evemaster recruited Children of Bodom drummer Jaska Raatikainen to help re-record the backing tracks. The results were issued in 2005 as MMIV Lacrimae Mundi. "
Enter 2008.
New songs have been in the making since the release of "Wither" but due to many different things the band has been otherwise sleeping in ice. Finally during the winter/early spring of 2008 it was decided that new material will be recorded for an album. Mykkänen finalized the songs and in the beginning of June 3 days were booked in Drop Hammer Studios and drums were recorded. During the summer and autumn other parts will be recorded.

Pandemonium
Evemaster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The soul of a man is nobler than the spheres
The hunger thou has awakened culminates in fulfilment
Reached the highest level of a mortal man that has ever been reached
Let thy might carry over the seas, over the vast centuries
"Do what thou wilt" will be the final law
When thee feel the overflowing anger, satisfy thy hunger
Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside -
Pandemonium
When the dusk comes you get the urge to go on a hunt
Meet the children of your kind and you will hunt as one
Be their master and lead them to salvation
To the garden of stone to sleep forever
He, over the stars doth reign that unto wisdom can attain
The soul of a man is nobler than the spheres
The hunger thou has awakened culminates in fulfilment
Reached the highest level of a mortal man that has ever been reached
Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside -
PANDEMONIUM!!!
These lyrics from Evemaster's song "Pandemonium" speak to the concept of power and the desire for control. The first verse describes a person who can attain wisdom reigning over the stars, suggesting that knowledge and understanding can lead to dominance. The second part of the verse talks about the soul of a man being nobler than the spheres, which could be interpreted as the idea that humans possess a greater worth than the celestial bodies that surround us.
The second verse delves deeper into the theme of power, stating that one's hunger (or desire for control) must be satisfied in order to reach the highest level a mortal man can reach. The lyrics then transition to encouraging the listener to let their might carry over the seas and centuries, suggesting that the pursuit of power is something that transcends time and space. The phrase "do what thou wilt" is mentioned, which is a famous saying from Aleister Crowley's philosophy of Thelema, further entrenching the idea of doing whatever it takes to attain one's desires.
The final verse becomes more sinister with the mention of "infernal might" and "Pandemonium", which is a term meaning a place of wild and noisy disorder, highlighting chaos over order. The lyrics suggest that the desire for power can become all-consuming, leading one to become a master over others and ultimately leading them to their demise.
Overall, the lyrics of "Pandemonium" speak to the human desire for power and control, and the consequences that can come with such pursuits.
