0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Pantheon-I is an interesting band. At times they remind me of old school Emperor and Dissection; other times they sound like a new band. Bright spots combine melancholy, atmospherics and brutality well. On the poorer quality songs the production really brings out issues with the music and song material. There is some definite promise if they can things up to a better sounding unit. I would have to seriously consider my options if I were to throw some cheese down for another release in the future. For the true black metal fan out there, you might want to give this a spin but I wouldn't recommend dropping a whole lot on this one.
