Seeking Infinity
One of the standard bearers of funeral doom death return after 7 years of silence with their most crushing and aggressive release! MetalTemple.com (10/10): “Here we got inspired talented music.This is like a painting but with musical instruments.This album is nearly a masterpiece for me.” La Muerte Tenia Un Blog: "Seeking Infinity is perhaps the best doom release I have heard in a lot of time... I have been into this genre for 20 years now and listened tons of music and PANTHEIST... oh God, PANTHEIST is always there." GrizzlyButts.com (4.25/5): "It doesn’t feel like a gothic doom record but it features some of the thickly layered sound of one; Nor does it feel like a pure funeral doom record yet ‘Seeking Infinity’ carries an ambiguous surrealistic sound characteristic of most celebrated leaders in funeral doom today." AveNoctum.com (9/10): "This is a magnum opus and well worth the wait, Pantheist have created an album that needs to be experienced, listened to and consumed in every imaginable way. Enlightenment is just a click away." Prog Magazine UK: "Languorous epics like 'Control and Fire' are underpinned by the unmistakable, shattered-knee crawl of those doom riffs, but continual detours into more refined, elegiac realms make this an endlessly fascinating and heart-rending journey toward oblivion's embrace". Teethofthedivine.com: “It’s great to hear these guys return to the original sound...I for one, am glad one of the best bands in the genre in the early 00s come back so triumphantly”. Thedoorwayto.blogspot.com: "Pantheist is a stunning Avant Doom metal force that know how to make music to challenge and move the listener." SoundscapeMagazine.com (9/10): "Crushingly heavy, it will take your breath away and it’s one of those albums that will just get under your skin." Metallized.it (84/100): "Ma il nero dei Pantheist di questo Seeking Infinity non è mai un buio pesto sul cui trono sieda un’incontrastata disperazione, anzi, a conti fatti un ruolo di pari portata lo ricopre anche un senso di malinconia diffusa, da cui sgorgano diversi momenti di autentica estasi poetico/melodica, quasi che la contemplazione possa almeno per un attimo allontanarci dalle incalzanti miserie terrene." Metaleyes.iyezine.com (8.8/10): "Un grande ritorno, la lunga attesa non è stata vana" Legacy.de (11/15): "Seeking Infinity"verkörpert alles in allem die Essenz von Funeral Doom ohne Genrepuristen mit viel Experimente zu vergraulen" Ragherrie.com (90/100): "Pantheist weet binnen de lijntjes te kleuren, maar doet dat wel met uitdagende kleuren en een penseelgebruik als dat van Rembrandt. We hebben nog niet veel extreme doom gehad die ons kon bekoren dit jaar, maar Seeking Infinity is een schot in de roos." Zwaremetalen.com (83/100): "Seeking Infinity is een diepgewortelde doomboom met verschillende doomstronken, die reiken van aardse Lost Paradise tot astrale Tiamat, met een overtreffende traagheid die de tijd herdefinieert tot een zintuiglijke ervaring. Eén die je de zinloosheid van je dagelijkse leven even doet vergeten, door je actief in contact te brengen met het tempo, de muziek en teksten die gaan over hen die zich dezelfde vragen stelden en ervaringen opzochten." NewNoise.pl (4.5/5): "Pantheist nie przypomina mi nic co znałabym wcześniej. Zespół wykonuje funeral doom, ale czerpie z black metalu, rocka gotyckiego czy klasyki. Koncepcyjny album o duchowości, poszukiwaniu i strachu tworzy spójną całość. Ta muzyczna podróż zapiera dech w piersiach, a towarzysząca jej aura mistycyzmu nie zniknie tak od razu wraz z ostatnim utworem…" Femforgacs.hu (9/10: "Mélyen szántó anyag lévén sokszori nekifutást kér a Seeking Infinity a műfaj rajongóitól, a funeral doomot elkerülőknek viszont most sem jött el a "beugró" lemez ideje, mert nem ezzel a kiadvánnyal fognak közelebb kerülni ehhez a vonalhoz."
