Drummer Matt Mingus commented:

“We’re incredibly ecstatic to share our 11th full-length album, ‘Pantheon,’ with the world. We poured our hearts and souls into this record—it has all the signature elements our fans have come to expect, along with fresh sounds and new styles that truly spotlight Andrew [Wells] as our new vocalist. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride that is Pantheon.”

Vocalist Andrew Wells added:

“The intention of ‘Pantheon’ was to build a certain tension, without a proper resolution. The world is in chaos right now, so there is a lot of solemn commentary on where we’re all headed, songs about where we find ourselves in life right now, and the classic DGD absurdism for light and relief amongst the darkness of it all. I think ‘Pantheon’ is a testament to perseverance and the gratitude that we feel today. Being able to overcome everything that life hits you with, find your people – the people that you trust, people that you love, people that love you – and create art with them, whatever chaos the world has in store for you. It’s about getting through the hardest times, getting back to basics, and making something that you love.”
