PANOPTICON - ...On The Subject Of Mortality (12" LP on Blue/White Splatter Vinyl)
United States | Atmospheric Black
Detailed Description
Panopticon's reflective meditation on death, "...On The Subject of Mortality," is back in print in the form it was intended - deluxe, double vinyl mastered at 45 rpm for ultra clean blackened fidelity. Originally released over the course of two split CD releases and as a very limited vinyl edition "...On The Subject of Mortality" sold out quickly fetching absurd prices on the collectors' market. Panopticon is an influential North American black metal band originally from Louisville Kentucky. The band is the unilateral expression of mastermind Austin Lunn, also of the death-doom band Seidr. The band has released over twelve full lengths, splits and EP's, most notability 2012's black metal/bluegrass genre classic "Kentucky." "...On The Subject of Mortality" is Panopticon's third full-length and most melodic record. Whereas Panopticon's other releases have been rooted heavily in a blugrass/black metal hybrid sound "...On The Subject of Mortality" is a more ambient album filled with post-metal obtuse dronescapes, Godspeed-like slow builds and blown out blast beats. This repress is limited to 500 copies and is contained within a heavy jacket and an insert.
