PANTHEIST Signs With GRAU RECORDS

January 4, 2011

After several months of negotiations, U.K.-based doom metallers PANTHEIST have inked a three-album deal with the German label Grau Records.

Comments the band: "We have been following Grau for years and have always been impressed by the quality of their material, so we feel honored to be part of their family now. We thank Tom for his trust and we are already in the process of mixing our fourth album with Greg Chandler at Priory Studios. We are fully confident that this upcoming album, that is bound to remain untitled to signify the new start in our history, contains the most powerful, emotive and heartfelt material we have produced so far and we are impatient to finish mixing and mastering in January for a projected spring 2011 release."

In other news, bassist Mark Bodossian, who has been a core member of PANTHEIST since 2004, is leaving the band to move to Norway. Mark joined the group during the recording sessions for "Amartia" and participated in the recordings for "The Pains of Sleep", "Journey Through Lands Unknown", "Unveiling The Signs" as well as PANTHEIST's upcoming album. Furthermore, he has played dozens of gigs with the band, including taking part in the tour with SKEPTICISM and OPHIS in 2008. PANTHEIST states, "We are currently rehearsing with Aleksej Obradovic (ex-DE PROFUNDIS) on bass and are quite confident that he will be up to the difficult task of filling in Mark's shoes."

Also on the PANTHEIST-related front, "Unveiling the Signs", the conceptual split album to which the band contributed the 10-minute track "Barock", is now available for sale directly from the group. PANTHEIST states, "This release is strongly PANTHEIST-tinted, as it also includes a track of WIJLEN WIJ — a project by Kostas and several ex-PANTHEIST collaborators — as well as a personal composition of Kostas Panagiotou."
