Review by Sonny for Panopticon - The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness (2018)
Austin Lunn is possibly the premier exponent of atmospheric black metal currently (certainly in North America) and this release is a real event in the scene. The first album, of this two-album set, showcases Panopticon's usual flawless take on the genre.
The second album of this double release expands on Austin Lunn's obvious love of his roots music - bluegrass and american folk. As with everything else this guy touches the songs are great. The only reservations I have are that the folkier songs expose the (minor) shortcomings in his vocals.
