Biography
1996
Pantokrator was originally formed in autumn 1996.
Their first gig was planned before they actually had written any songs. The line-up wasn't complete until just shortly before the gig. They started by playing covers by Tourniquet and Mortification. They also wrote a few songs of their own.
1997
Pantokrator recorded a demo "Unclean Plants/Ancient Path". Shortly thereafter the band split up, but Karl and Mattias didn't want this to be the end. New members were found in Rickard (drums) and Jonas (bass). With the new lineup the music took a turn against heavier domains.
1998
In spring 1998, Pantokrator recorded their second demo "Even Unto The Ends Of The Earth". The soundquality wasn't the best. Later this year Mattias left the band for a year due to studies.
1999
It didn't happen much this year. A few songs were written by the remaining members. It resulted in "Allhärskare" (2000). Lack of time and travel distances made it hard to rehearse properly so the results were not so good.
2000
This year they wrote and rehearsed the material for "Songs Of Solomon" which they started to record this autumn.
2001
In March Pantokrator made an appreciated concert on the christian Swedish metal festival called "Bobfest". They also appeared on national TV in a short report from this festival. "Songs Of Solomon" was later released as a self-financed CD-EP. It received good response from media. Now things started to move. "Songs Of Solomon" was also released as a split-CD together with Santifica's "In the Bleak Midwinter" as a result of their contacts with "CL music & publishing" (Rivel records). They also appeared on a compilation-CD (and Video) "Power from the sky".
