FROM ARGONAUTA RECORDS:

Pantheist unveil full details of new album ‘Uncanny Times’ and premiere “The Final Journey”

Atmospheric doom masters Pantheïst have revealed the full details of their highly anticipated new album, ‘Uncanny Times’, set for release on October 30, 2026 via Argonauta Records. The album will be available as a deluxe double vinyl, CD and digital release, marking the band’s next major statement in their ongoing exploration of darkness, transcendence and the human condition.

Alongside the album announcement, Pantheist have unveiled the first track from ‘Uncanny Times’, “The Final Journey”, accompanied by an evocative new lyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPtUlZBxOnQ

According to Pantheist:

“The Final Journey is the track which set the tone of the whole album in motion. I wrote the music 15 years ago and then shelved it straight away in the hope I would find a vocalist who is worthy of singing it at some point in the future. My prayers were heard with Linda joining the band about a decade and a half later (you need to be very patient when you play doom metal). Once the lyric was written after a deep philosophical conversation with my friend Ricardo in Panama, the first and most decisive step towards ‘Uncanny Times’ was made with this huge, epic album opener.”

Built around a composition that had been waiting for its moment for fifteen years, “The Final Journey” became the catalyst for the album that followed. Epic, solemn and deeply atmospheric, the track opens ‘Uncanny Times’ with a sense of scale that perfectly introduces the journey through the record’s six compositions.

‘Uncanny Times’ tracklist:

The Final Journey

Laughing Falcon

Kuebiko

Entropy

Ithaca Out of Sight

Requiem for your World

With ‘Uncanny Times’, Pantheist continue to push the boundaries of atmospheric and funeral doom, embracing a vast, immersive sound where monumental heaviness meets reflection, melancholy and existential themes.

‘Uncanny Times’ will be released on October 30, 2026 via Argonauta Records on deluxe double vinyl, CD, digital formats and a label exclusive FAN EDITION ltd 100, preorders are up:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, HAPPY SAMHAIN

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:30:00 +0000

ITP V.026 wishes readers a very happy and SAFE HALLOWEEN and SAMHAIN.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain

Halloween’s Meaning to Wiccans

For many Wiccans, Halloween is not just a spooky party night — it is Samhain, one of the most important sabbats in the Wiccan calendar, often called the “Witch’s New Year” The Minds Journal+2.

Historical and Spiritual Roots

Samhain comes from the ancient Celtic festival of the dead, marking the end of the harvest season and the start of winter The Minds Journal+1. In Celtic tradition, the veil between the living and the spirit world was believed to be at its thinnest, allowing ancestors and departed loved ones to return to visit their homes Sun Signs+1. Wicca, a modern pagan faith with deep Celtic roots, preserves this as a time for remembrance, reflection, and honoring the dead
