Panopticon pre order for 'Det Hjemsøkte Hjertet' launched. "The White Cedars" streaming.

    Det Hjemsøkte Hjertet  !  Austin Lunn's philosophical and expansive black metal project Panopticon returns with the last part of the Laurentian trilogy!  Sure to turn heads, the first single "The White Cedars" is streaming now on Bandcamp. The song manages to encapsulate a deep processing of time, death and the perhaps the impact of the human hand on environments probably better left alone.  Starting out with an atmospheric sense of sonic breath before cavalcade of heaving drums explode outwards, this is a masterful first single that blends emotion, isolation and melody like a thread around a heart. It leaves you with a deep sense of conversation with a lonely but cosmic nature state which is much more potent than the chatter of modernity. Decibel premiered the song HERE.   The full album will release May 8th and I am pretty excited for this one. Off to an amazing, sophisticated start.
