Personal information
Born on: 08.08.1977
Kostas Panagiotou was born in Kavala, Greece, and lived in Antwerp, Belgium between 1988 and 2003. He has been living in England since May 2003. Studied Clinical Psychology in Brussels and Forensic Psychology in London. He has been playing music (piano, keyboards, accordion) since the age of 15. Started by joining local bands that played Greek folk music in Belgium (1993-2002). These bands were specializing in rebetica music (Greek traditional music from the marginals of society, a bit comparable to blues). However, he got interested first in classical music and electronic music (through self exploration) and later extreme metal while studying at the university.
He is a founding member of Pantheist (extreme funereal metal). He has been involved in Bellator (RIP) and several projects like Anonymous Soul (RIP) and more recently Wijlen Wij, of which the debut album has been released by Aesthetic Death Records in June 2007. He has been a live member of Stijn Van Cauter's project Until Death Overtakes Me participating in all its gigs up to this point.
Recently, a new project has been started in collaboration with Andy from Pantheist: Ereipia, in which they aim to explore neoclassical musical realms, as well as Justin Greaves' band Crippled Black Phoenix, an amazing venture into post/country rock, ambient and neoclassical territory.
Kostas is a Panathinaikos Athens fan
