Pantaleon ist eine fünfköpfige Progressive-Power-Metal Band aus Köln. Schon vor der Auflösung der Band Dissociative im August 2007 hatten Sebastian Heuckmann (bass) und Fabian Richter (keys) beschlossen, weiter zusammen Musik zu machen. Mit Xaver Schiffels wurde sofort ein neuer Gitarrist gefunden, kurz darauf übernahm Kevin Kott die Drums, doch dauerte es fast ein Jahr, bis man in dem ehemaligen Dissociative-Gitarristen Patrick Sühl einen neuen Sänger fand. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/p
