First of all, as you all know, we've been looking to increase the band by one more person with the addition of a vocalist. With the band expanding so much musically, this will allow Kvebek to put all his energies into the guitar, and give the band a frontman who is free to roam the stage and interact more closely with the audience.

Seems that there are a lot of very skilled vocalists out there who are interested in joining Pantheon I and we are spending a lot of time listening to demos and doing live auditions.

As a band we put 101% into what we do, so the right person for us will not only be good at what they do, which includes singing in both Norwegian and English, and being able to perform both clean and extreme vocals, but also be willing and able to rehearse in Oslo regularly and definitely have a good sense of humour to fit in with the rest of us.

Secondly, we have been working our asses off recording the pre-production for the next album. We already have 13 new songs ready and whilst we would really like you to hear what you can expect, you'll just have to wait! We are ready to throw a few surprises your way, and the wait will be worth it.

December, of course, sees us heading to Germany to co-headline the Ender Der Zeit tour with our colleagues from Trollfest. Also on the lineup will be the German bands Finsterforst and Unlight, as well as local supports.

Pantheon I are always eager to get on the road, and we're thinking this short tour, which takes place just before Christmas, and hence during the period when everyone is up for a bit of celebrating, will be a lot of fun for bands and fans alike.

The dates are as follows:
