Panopticon - ...And Again Into The Light

[@hagalazesrever2782]

His work means so much to me. Sitting in prison his albums bring such bright vibrant colors of nature into my grey bleak world. One could not count the hours spent drifting away, cold and scared inside this hell. Thank you .

[@casualeye1633]

Ironically, Panopticon is a term for a futuristic prison.

[@casualeye1633]

@John Creach Fair enough. In the strictest sense the panopticon is an old design, but Orwell's 1984 was published in 1949 -- doesn't mean it's not a futuristic vision. In a broader sense and as exemplified by Orwell's novel, the panopticon can be extrapolated to a societal system of total, centralized surveillance, ie "Big Brother." Nothing more futuristic than that. So, yes, it is a term for a futuristic prison. The society is the prison.

Me drunk at home: This is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. The man who created this is a genius. Me coincidentally standing next to Austin at a campfire: *says nothing*

[@REALjohnmosesbrowning]

Panopticon holds a special place in my heart that no band will ever replace. It's an experience of the landscapes of America that I've grown up in reach of and captivated by. It's comfort in the hardest days of my life. This album is no less of a masterpiece than all of Lunn's previous work has been. Goddamn I was so happy when I saw that he had released this.

[@xisma2283]

The Embers At Dawn is some of the best post metal i have ever heard absolutely stunning

Roads to the North is one of my favorite albums of all time… and man here we go again!!!

Dead Loons is one of the best tracks I've ever heard. Breath taking.

We agree!

[@stormblazt90]

I’m getting addicted to this album. Every song sounds so deep, the growls and cleans are impeccable, the heavily distorted guitars and echoey drums sound incredible

[@UltramarinePrimaris]

Nothing short of captivating. A. Lunn doesn't miss - Every album is an epic landscape that draws you in.

[@sebastianarmas897]

Panopticon’s best work to date IMO

[@AbigorRealm69]

Mmmm idk Autumn Eternal is pretty damn near perfect alongside Social Disservices.. this is great so far, been listening to the vinyl lately... I dig the different production approach. Almost feels like a slight shift into death metal at times.

[@DonegansGone]

I discovered this album and the Panopticon in general about six months ago. This album hits me in its entirety. It is simply beautiful music and it fits perfectly with what I have experienced in recent years. The artist perfectly matched the sounds of the instruments, different genres of music, which you can discover and enjoy how it all flows. He is a man with great sensitivity to music and nature. This is one of the most important albums for me in general.

[@coryleblanc]

I like Panopticon. Not 1 bad album. The guy makes amazingly powerful music.

[@championsanchez1683]

Rope Burn Exit makes me reflect very deeply on the last 8 years of my life. Fuck man.

[@AbigorRealm69]

Great track

[@albertpascual86]

Embers at dawn is pure fucking life

[@Penitent_Intent]

Found you folks because I was looking up synonyms last night for something that meant wide or to cover a wide area so I can find a little used word while talking to a women. Found the Greek root words pan-optic. Learned through its definition that the related word panopticon is a term used to describe a central tower used in a prison. Next morning here I am having my yogurt, granola and coffee and I was like bet someone has made a band named after a panopticon and here you are. Rock on brahsefs rock on, my singer just died from fentanyl over dose… may he Rest In Peace. Live while you can folks.

[@ludmilavalesova2555]

Highly atmospheric and even powerful music full of differend moods and emotional statements-excelllent!

[@michaelthea1461]

You don't have to be a metalhead... this is just good music

[@AbigorRealm69]

"Metalheads" suck anyways... I listened to this, Marvin Gaye and My Bloody Valentine today lol

[@patrickbertlein4626]

@@AbigorRealm69 no ones impressed and liking metal while simultaneously shitting on the people who enjoy it as a whole makes you a turd. Every group of people "suck", get out of here child. Also if you actually knew metalheads you would know most enjoy everything from the Cure to Wu Tang clan, clearly you are just projecting whatever bullshit your favorite form of media told you to believe.

[@wanderingghost4507]

🤘 One of the best albums of 2021! Perfect art! Greetings from Brazil's admirers of Extreme Metal and Folk Music! 🤘

[@GregsWhiskyGuide]

A fantastic record ! (somehow in Agalloch territory for me & also sometimes close to Vallendusk too, 2 great bands, but there is a uniqueness to what Austin does, especially his melodic take/play & prod mix on compositions). Thanks for the upload, greetings from France ! 🤘

[@jothiragavan1687]

This band is heavily underrated..thanks to Anthony fantano

[@patrickbertlein4626]

Not sure if I agree with that statement, are they as popular as Gojira or Mastodon, no. But under rated? Compared to who? Outside of Wolves I don't get your statement as Panopticon is talked about and respected more than most metal bands.

[@nisinduperera7130]

I agree When it comes to black metal, it's all about the old school bands But if you are gonna dig a little deeper, you'll 100% come across his work

[@JoshBM1981]

Atmospheric would be a gross understatement. Painting a vivid picture through musical medium. Not usually a big black metal fan, but this is quite transcendent. Will be listening to the entirety of this. The string arrangements alone are fantastic.

[@mikeb4858]

Another superb album from Panopticon. If you're interested, here is an interview he did with Banger TV (the team that did the Headbanger's Journey doc) where he talks about what makes him make music, and also running a farm, among other things: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKOkoaecndGomtU

I want to really like this but why does the production make it sound like I'm hearing it through a wall ?

[@anllusionYT]

I thought the same when I put this on my car and radio speakers, but if you have a good pair of speaker monitors, maybe listen to it on that. It still may sound the same to you, but I find it has a epic fantasy ambience to it.

[@WhereinTruthLies]

I dunno. Production sounds better to me than a lot of black metal. It probably shouldn't be 100% polished? Maybe that's just me.

I'd assume you don't listen to a lot of black metal

@@patrickbertlein4626 You must be misinterpreting something. I am quite open enough to enjoy his music now and then for a change. Even if the band does not fall 100% into my usual genre scheme.
