...the bands ability to step out beyond the defines of guitar-centric droning and evoke different voices and moods takes them to a different emotional plain: spiritual and contemplative but never lightweight or whimsical; the music still has balls.
(Zero Tolerance magazine)
Im not at all sure that doom describes the music correctly, sure it is the basis of Pantheists musical structures but (not unlike Esoteric) there are so many other elements in the mix it lifts them to a new level. Some of the tracks have a faster tempo and there are definite elements of Goth & prog rock in some of the tracks...also the quality of the song writing and musicianship is top notch (Golden Lake productions)
I like to use the term Church Doom for this band as their heavy use of religious themes...and imagery, monkish chants...and resonant organs results in an austere, overbearing sense of depressive grandeur thats more than just monotone down-tuned riffs and growls. Pantheists music would be befitting the mood in a cavernous Cathedral mourning the recent death of the pope; suitably lamenting but at the same time, littered with the pomp and circumstance of The Vatican...
(Digital Metal)
What you get here is lots of dynamic creativity within a true and genuine funeral doom frame. PANTHEÏST doesnt compromise their commitment and obvious love for the genre simultaneously as they expand the frames in a delicate murky and very atmospheric way (Beat The Blizzard)
Our widely acclaimed debut album is now available with completely revamped artwork courtesy of Cheryl Pinnock and can be ordered here for 13 Euro.
"O Solitude, the band’s debut full-length recording, lavishes in grey, desolate tones not unlike fellow purveyors of funereal orchestrators Skepticism or Thergothon, yet composed and performed in spirit and knowledge of classical music theory, providing the music with a sophistication beyond most doom bands...(The Bleak Horizon, 83/100)
"PANTHEIST's "O Solitude" is yet another striking proof for the fact that there hardly is a more emotional sub genre of Metal than Doom...the intensity that this style and in this case this album build up is rare to find in the rest of this scene (Metal Observer, 8/10)
An emotional journey through previously uncharted territory. Where funeral doom meets 70ties prog, ethnic folk and Frostian metal. Out on Firedoom records NOW and can be ordered here for 12 Euro.
"Basically...what we have here is brave, free-thinking, unfettered music- loosely based in doom metal...highly recommended for anyone whose music taste isn’t too confined by genre boundaries".
(PowerPlay Rock & Metal Magazine 8/10)
"...an epic musical journey with songcraft so immaculate you can't help but become immersed within its flow. (Metal Hammer UK, 8/10)
"...spiritual and contemplative but never lightweight or whimsical...(Zero Tolerance, 4.5/6)
"...a decidedly unorthodox and eccentric record, at times daringly so." (Terrorizer, 7.5/10)
"...a never ending tapestry of sounds as they gradually draw you in...such is the epic nature of this album." (Live4Metal)
New album: “MORBIDE ELITE” - coming soon on Iron Age Records !
Since worldwide crisis with wars and famine are a true human pain, the drunk poor pest-brewing trolls got their good times. Since their pact with the crows their succes became giant. The drunk trolls are dead, the New Elite is born. We write in times where people are praying their God for forgiving their sins, to keep away His thorn of disease. Expect a mindblowing fast black metal masterpiece with a confronting sound of medieval infecting grief. The whole world is dying.
Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral part of DOOMRAISER.
However, it is with great pleasure that DOOMRAISER announce that Valerio’s replacement is to be none other than our good friend and brother, the fearsomely talented musician Willer. He played bass with evil blacksters Grimness and he’s involved in Black Land, an awesome and obscure heavy psychedelic band from Rome. Practices have been going very well, and Willer is already adding a new, acid and exciting dimension to the band as a whole. His first gig will be at Sinister Noise Club in Rome on the 21th November: a special and drunken night celebrating the birthday of one of the most important Italian underground rock scene club!
DISASTERHATE FIRST EP “SACRIFICE TO ECLIPSE” OUT NOW ON DIGITAL STORES.
A modern thrash metal, a personal sick and obscure sound. “Sacrifice to eclipse” finds its roots into flesh, the solid human dimension of existence. A desperate agony in self-destruction, black and apocalyptic tones. This first EP destroys everything, annihilates existence, tears every religious value and trust for progress of science... to see what's left of mankind. The sacrifice to eclipse is just what man wants to hide.
Hello, guys. How are you? Things going well? So you are stealing guitarists from Esoteric now? :-) Criminal doom! It's pretty much dark all the time up here now, and with icy roads. A time to go into hibernation. I am grateful for having some proper doom on my mp3-player, thus the world instantly both looks and sounds better. :-)
I send you northern greetings from them icy roads.
