Norway. The band was started in late 2001 by Eirik Renton, John Espen Sagstad and Andrè Kvebek. We recorded a demo (DEMO MMIII) including 4 tracks last year (April 2003).We did this recording in our own home-recording studio. We received help from Sareeta (Ram-Zet and Åsmegin) on violin and Silje on cello on the recording. This gave PANTHEON I a new and improved sound, so we decided to incorporate this in to our music. DEMO MMIII has only been used as a promo and has been shipped around to internet-zines, magazines, etc. We have received many good reviews and gained a lot of attention with this recording.We recorded and mixed 2 new songs in December 2003/Januray 2004 and they will soon be released on 7 vinyl. Sareeta helped us out on this recording to, and so did Anna on cello.In February 2004, PANTHEON I gained 2 new members Gunhild Mathea Olaussen on violin and Live Julianne Kostøl ! on cello. Tor Risdal Stavenes joined shortly after as our bass-player. At this moment we have 13 self-made songs, and many more are on their way! So we have sufficient material for a full-length album, which we hope to record and release soon!
In April 2005 the band signed a deal with the Japanese label World Chaos Production.
