Pandemonium is the second Greatest Hits Compilation album from the Taiwanese black metal band Chthonic's. It features eleven tracks from eleven years of band history (1996 - 2007). Pandemonium follows A Decade on the Throne - A Live album and DVD especially intended for the Asian market. A Decade on the Throne and Pandemonium are identical with regards to the tracklist up to a total of nine songs. For Pandemonium, however, seven tracks have been re-recorded with the band's main drummer Dani, who, after an injury during one of the live shows in 2005, hurt himself and had to be replaced by Reno Killerich for the recording of Seediq Bale. At the time of the release of Pandemonium, the band toured Europe and the U.S., spreading their message of an independent Taiwan that wants to contribute to international society regardless of Chinese oppression.
