Finnish metal band Vanguardian release new single “Pantheon”

Metal band Vanguardian hailing from Jyväskylä Finland released their third single “Pantheon” from their upcoming EP on Friday November 11. 

The band reveal:

“Of all the songs that ended up on this record, ‘Pantheon’ was the first one that was ready for recording”

“Pantheon” is also the band’s first ballad-like composition that involved a lot of “studio magic”.

The band continue:

“Tino (drummer) recorded the drums with just one take, using just a couple of minutes of our studio time. After trying a couple of hours performing the vocals to the song, our singer (Markus) ended up throwing all the lyrics to the trash. It was a bold move considering that the next day was reserved for recording vocals to this particular song. Therefore Markus ended up writing all the lyrics from scratch the night before vocal recordings started.”

In spite of all the dramatic turn of events (or maybe because of them) “Pantheon” really holds a special importance to all the band members.
