Bedemon was an off-shoot of Pentagram. The band was an outlet for the songwriting sometime Pentagram guitarist Randy Palmer. Palmer and drummer Geof O'Keefe recorded a series of demos throughout the 70's. Most featuring bassist Mike Mahews and singer Bobby Leibling, but because Palmer never wanted to pursue Bedemon as a serious act, the group never recorded a proper studio album. After years of having tapes bootlegged, a proper collection was issued in 2005, 3 years after Palmer had been killed in a car crash. Geof O'Keef and Mike Mathews plan to continue the band.
The Name "Bedemon" was formed from a combination of "Behemoth" and "Demon", which had been Palmers initial ides for the groups moniker.
