Throughout Funeral, the band augments its five-piece line-up with string sections, weaving a near-cinematic, folk-influenced chamber pop that slots in somewhere between Belle and Sebastian's delicacy and the robust classicism of '80s New Zealand bands such as the Chills and the Verlaines.

The strongest feature of Pantheist is that they have managed to re-enforce their funeral doom metal with lots of emotion, mournful, yet melodic musical themes and deep atmospheres, which has nothing to do with the credo “our goal is to be the slowest band on earth” that many similar funeral doom bands have.
The band’s music and their art in general is what count here and not how slow or extreme they may sound.
