June 11th, 2011, was a landmark date in Empyrium's history. After more than 15 years, Schwadorf and Helm played their very first show ever on that day, taking place at the Wave Gotik Treffen in the Pantheon of Volkspalast, Leipzig. For this memorable event, the two core members put together an illustrious concert line-up who had rehearsed pieces from every creative phase of Empyrium as well as the new, so-far unreleased song "Dead Winter Ways".

The show, which lasted about 70 minutes, was captured in sound and vision to be released now as an audio CD and Blu-ray/DVD. This magical world premiere, recorded in high-resolution HD video and stereo, respectively 5.1 surround sound, constitutes the heart of Into The Pantheon. In addition to the concert, a documentary of more than 100 minutes provides a detailed account on the band's past by means of interviews with Schwadorf, Helm and the live musicians. You can expect an August 30th release date.
