Pantheist is an atmospheric doom metal band that has woven its unique brand of melancholic and somber music since the early 2000s. Formed by Kostas Panagiotou in Belgium, the group stemmed from a vision to blend the slow, weighty riffs of traditional doom with the atmospheric depth of funeral doom, adding in classical music influences and occasionally ornate keyboard arrangements. With lyrics that often explore themes of existential despair, spirituality, and inner torment, Pantheist's music is lauded for its emotional intensity and its ability to conjure a profound sense of introspection.

The band's discography reflects a constant evolution in style, as heard in releases such as "O Solitude", their haunting debut that garnered immediate interest in the doom metal scene for its sophisticated arrangements and deep, resonant soundscapes. Over the years, Pantheist has continued to delve deeper into experimenting with their sound, as exhibited in albums like "Amartia" and "Journey through Lands Unknown", that showcase a mature clarity in composition and thematic presentation. With "Seeking Infinity", the band displayed a masterful control over the expansive depth of their genre, marking a definitive statement in their musical journey. Their willingness to traverse new horizons is also evident in their work on the "Fthagn-Nagh (Original Game Soundtrack)", demonstrating versatility and the ability to adapt their signature sound to new mediums and narratives.
