Lilium Redwine, known by her recording alias Ultrademon, is an American experimental electronic musician.
Ultrademon released her debut album (titled Seapunk) via Aphex Twin's Rephlex Records in 2013, followed by a Japanese re-release in the same year. This album popularized the eponymous Seapunk aesthetic which saw some popularity in the mid-to-late 2010s.
In 2016, Redwine moved from Chicago to Tokyo, later moving to Kyoto in April of 2019.
With the release of 2019's Chamber Music, Redwine's style took a turn towards experimental, deconstructed club sound. This album as well as the subsequent æði (2022) and Crone (2024) carry a distinct "medieval" sound with gothic and black metal inspired sound and samples taken from nature or swordfighting. In a 2019 interview with Bandcamp she stated: “If you’re comparing it to the [other] Ultrademon work I put out,” she continues, “[Chamber Music] is stepping away from any sort of idea of it being club music. I would say was that why it’s so personal. It covers a period and time in my life where I felt like I was in the middle of a bunch of warring factions, and it invoked this sort of feudalism. It felt like I was in the middle of the battle, and it kind of evoked this neo-gothic, Baroque landscape.”
Currently, Redwine's Bandcamp page states she is living in Berlin, Germany but it is unclear when she made this move.
