Found it! Night of Pan = N.O.X.
But the tracklist says Night of PAIN…?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_Pan
"a mystical state that represents the stage of ego-death in the process of spiritual attainment"
OK.
great @nicoot. pan finally, yeah…
Maybe essential for the N.O.X. Song(s):
"The Greek word Pan also translates as All, and so he is a symbol of the Universal, a personification of Nature" (Wikipedia)
@nicoot – Well-discovered! Very interesting reading. Can't wait to see how this all pans out (pun intended).
In response to Lizard's Pun (and all the other information):
"Creepy Crowley Creepy Crowley
Creepy Creepy Crowley Crowley
Bob Le Bad the Mystic" (Omm…)
Enough punning – eager to hear the music! Night of Pan – my God!
("Punning Punning, we're punning again…")
Five Rise Records in the UK has a slightly different blurb for the album that incudes the detail that the album has been mixed by Andrew Scheps at his Punkerpad Studio.
I can't find the link now, but one site stated that the album is produced by Bent, mixed by Scheps, and mastered by Deathprod.

As already mentioned, track 2 shares a title with a Roy Harper song from his masterpiece «Stormcock». I had tried briefly to get into this album before via streaming but it never really grabbed me. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a CD copy in a thrift shop. Among piles and piles of crap (how many people received Helmut Lotti CDs for Christmas in the late 90s/early 2000s?), oddly enough this quite esoteric title showed up.
It has been on constant rotation in the car since then. Once again it didn’t grab me at first, but after almost 10 rounds it finally began to sink in and I almost got the shivers. My God, what a fantastic record! Highly, highly recommended.

We're all too wasted from the onslaught of consumer-friendly, mainstreamed or even agressive product merchandising – be it acoustic or otherwise. And thus forget to listen or concentrate – sometimes even mor than once – before we judge. But then: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can never make him drink" – you can lead a man to Harper, but you can never make him… (think? enjoy? like? dig? digest – whatever.)
Roy is not god – he is antigod! (divine, but gods-defying).
