Austin Lunn, der Mastermind, der hinter Panopticon steckt, ist bekannt dafür, dass er gerne mal Metal und Country vermischt, beispielsweise bei Kentucky.
Bei der neuen Scheibe bzw. Scheiben "The Scars Of Man On The Once Nameless Wilderness" separiert er jedoch die unterschiedlichen musikalischen Seiten, bringt gleich zwei neue CDs heraus. Was den Vorteil hat, dass die Hörer selbst entscheiden können, ob sie beide Werke kaufen, oder wenn sie nicht beide Richtungen mögen, nur eine davon.
Hier die detaillierte Ankündigung, die auch auf Inhalte eingeht:
Nordvis and Bindrune Recordings are proud to finally announce pre-orders for the upcoming 7th studio album by our brother and Minnesota’s PANOPTICON! This massive piece of musical work is scheduled for release on April 6th. For more information regarding different editions please visit the links below.
"The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness" is a two part album that musically explores the two separate musical sides of Panopticon. Part 1 harkens back to melodic Black and Death Metal influences and part 2 focuses entirely on Americana, Folk and Country music from North America.
The lyrical concept of the album deals with two sides of the same coin: the effects of our natural environment on quality of life and mental health and the effects of urban life and industry on our quality of life and mental health. The album is largely inspired by some of Sigurd Olson’s writing and also inspired by the struggle to preserve Minnesota’s northwoods.
Part 1 of the 2 part album is entirely focused on exploring melodic, aggressive and atmospheric metal with lyrics about time spent in nature, questions and fears about the consequences of environmental destruction and seeking inspiration in the woods.
Part 2 takes a more somber, lonesome tone, lyrically focusing on the consequences of urban life, industry, global warming and environmental detriment. Part 2 is absolutely NOT a metal record and those who are disinterested in folk, americana and country music might not favor it.
Clocking in at about 2 hours, this collection is intended to be heard as a body of work, but as always thats up to the listener to decide.
