Both guitarists from the Norwegian extreme metal band PANTHEON I have received endorsement deals from ESP Guitars and Morley Pedals.  Guitarist Sagstad (TROLLFEST, SARKOM), who plays guitars from the ESP range commented, “Anyone who has played an ESP guitar will understand perfectly when I say that we wanted the best and we got the best”. Guitarist/Vocalist Kvebek (DEN SAAKALDTE, ex 1349) has this to say about his guitars of choice: “To hold an ESP Ltd guitar in your hands is the musical equivalent to holding a Gatling gun during a battle. It will crush everything in its path and strike fear in the weak”.

Regarding the endorsement from Morley Pedals front man Kvebek, never one to mince words, commented, “I use the Wah Pedals and I can say that I will never go back to using lesser products. When I step on the Wah it gives me the feeling and the sound of stomping on everything I despise”. Last year both musicians also announced agreements with Mesa Boogie Amps.

The band, whose line up also includes classically trained cellist Live Julianne, TRS (1349, TYRANN, DEN SAAKALDTE) on bass, and Mads G (THE ALLSEEING I) on drums, are currently in the pre-production stage of their fourth full-length album, which will be a follow up to 2009’s “Worlds I Create”, an album that was very well received by both fans and critics alike.  For the new album, PANTHEON I will part company with Candlelight Records and will be searching for a new label. “We are all extremely committed musicians and always put everything we have into our work”, commented Kvebek, “and with the new album we believe we have exceeded even that, having grown both as writers and performers, and we are looking forward to working with a label that will do it justice”.

PANTHEON I will appear at this year’s Summer Breeze Festival in Germany in August, and are scheduled to play a handful of dates with DEN SAAKALDTE in the spring. Dates confirmed so far are as follows:

Fri 19 March: Pitch Black, Niederkruchten, Germany
Sat 20 March: Azjinfabriek, Roermond, Netherlands
Fri 09 April: Dante’s Highlight, Helsinki, Finland
