PANTHEIST BIOGRAPHY
Mournful, funereal doom metal with a heavy dose of melancholy. The extensive use of keyboards,organ sounds and chanted vocals (although a lot of the vocals are grunted) creates a solemn, mystical atmosphere on many tracks. The music also incorporates many metal riffs as well as faster and more agressive interludes, which distinguish the band from the non-aggressive approach of most funeral doom outfits.
