November 16, 2023
DECADES ...
The upcoming new year will herald the 35th anniversary for PANGÆA!
Much is the same and yet, much has changed over the years. The same core quintet of Darrell Masingale, Steven Osborn, Ron Poulsen, Andi Schenck, and Corey Schenck are still together; with the addition of guitarist/keyboardist Scott Draughon.
There will be lots of new music released this next year as well as re-releases of the older catalog - including never-before-heard bonus tracks!
A special announcement will be coming soon in regards to upcoming concerts!
So stay tuned ...

A second song from Andi’s explorations of the Pecos River Valley. It’s based on another cave painting that had an impact on him. The words and the music - all his. He does several percussion tracks on it and Steve really delivers the vocals. - Corey Schenck

"The Fall of Rome"
from the album
Welcome to the Theatre ...
Listen here :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB7iBROcleQ
"The Fall of Rome" reverts to the rock roots of the band. There is a catchy chorus, but Corey's lyrics are much deeper, drawing a parallel between modern society and the ancient civilisation. This is quite an impressive song, with Darrell really powering out the vocals.”

OCTOBER 2022
"During the first two weeks of August we traveled to San Jose, California to record at Soundtek Studios with our friend and producer Robert Berry. We worked with our vocal coach and engineer Thom Duell and did a photo shoot on top of Mount Umunhum with Dave Lepori."
"Since February, we were writing, arranging, and recording demos. The result is seventy-six minutes across fourteen new songs we are able to record with Robert. If you liked the music we released in the past, I don't think you'll be disappointed with the new music; it's stronger in the writing, arranging, the playing, and its general focus."
"We also have twelve songs we recorded with Robert in 2004 that we are looking forward to releasing soon."
- Corey Schenck

SUMMER 2021
On Friday, June 4, the band met in Dallas, Texas to discuss the possibilities of a reunion. A unanimous decision was made to regroup and rise from the ashes.
A photo shoot with close friend and photographer Mark Nguyen took place in downtown Dallas on June 5.
Ron: “We did a thing this past weekend in Dallas. The five members of PANGAEA got together ... It had been eighteen years since the five of us had been in the same place together! Good times to say the least indeed!”.
On July 24, PANGÆA held their first rehearsals with the original and definitive five-man lineup in Houston, Texas.
