Pantheon are a band from Little Rock, Arkansas that plays a blackened mixture of death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Empire In Ruin" which was released by Necrotic Records.
Horror movie samples start off the album before going into a heavier thrash metal influenced direction. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Blast beats can also be heard in t he faster sections of the songs while the tracks also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet old school extreme metal style along with the horror samples also making a return on later tracks, most of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's era and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction as will as some of the riffing also bringing in elements of groove emtal.
Pantheon plays a musical style that takes black, death and thrash metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover gore, murder, horror, violence, cannibalism Satanism and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Pantheon are a very great sounding mixture of black, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Head On A Stick" "Slit The Throat" "Eviscerate Desecrate Cremate" and "Blood The Bible Bleeds". 8 out of 10.
