Pantheist "O Solitude (2015 Reissue)"

Pantheist are a Belgian and British Funeral Doom band formed in 2000 by Kostas Panagiotou.

A pantheist is someone who believes that God and the universe are the same. Or, in other words, that "All Is God", as pantheism literally means "God Is All" (Greek: pan=all and Theos=God).

While the band is typically known for their atmospheric, synth-heavy funeral doom style, the band took on more of a progressive direction on their 2011 self-titled album, before returning to their funeral doom roots on Seeking Infinity.

In 2003, they released their first album, O Solitude, through Firebox Records. The following year, Caure and Strik left the band, citing musical differences, and were replaced by Kris Villez on drums and Wim Boey on bass.

In 2015 O Solitude was reissued.
