Some of the listeners were expecting some kind of extension of 1349, and i can understand it since there are two members that have been and still are in 1349(...)I felt that i had reached my peak with the type of black metal that 1349 plays on Hellfire. I am extremely proud of what I have been apart of, but as i said i had reached as far as i can go within that particular type of metal

When Norwegian guitarist Andrè Kvebek, a.k.a. Tjalve, left 1349 in 2006, it wasn't the end of his involvement with extreme metal. Kvebek had co-founded Pantheon I as a side project in 2002, and leaving 1349 gave him more time to concentrate on Pantheon I
