Welcome to the unique musical experience of

A post-humous dedication to “Granny” Joan Evetts

“Pandemus, Advenae, Tempestas”
Lion-earth latin translation:
“The pandemic is upon us; the coming of the storm”
Pandemia is a concept album based on the pandemic. Each song related in some way to the Pandemic / Covid-19. Created by Covid-19 nurse and songwriter Richard Evetts: Lion-earth
An eclectic style once self-described as “indie-folk doom,” but is “genre defying” with elements of “pop, punk, folk, metal, poetry.” (Aardus Varkius)
Incorporating Medieval, gothic and New Age themes – original music.
