“The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness” is a two part album that musically explores the two separate musical sides of Panopticon. The first double LP harkens back to melodic Black and Death Metal influences and the second double LP 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.
The album is particularly long…clocking in at about 2 hours. It is intended to be heard as a body of work, but as always that's up to the listener to decide.

@simoantere8738 5 лет назад

Snow Burdened Branches is (in my opinion) one of the best atmospheric black metal songs ever made. Before I heard Panopticon I thought America wasn't able to produce quality black metal, but Panopticon changed my mind upon that. Today I went to the forest to pick up mushrooms, and listening to this at the same time made me feel so-fucking-good. Kiitos tästä Panopticon and big thumbs up from Finland!

@Doctor__Wiki 5 лет назад

So I am totally into Panopticon, Alcest, and Les Discrets and took the time to learn more about Austin Lunn (headman of Panopticon). I am so intrigued by the fact that this music takes a lot of its inspiration from the beauty of the Northern Minnesota wilderness. Listening to this album invokes a feeling of open space, cold air, and the primordial thirst for the forest. I would say if you like Panopticon and respect the message take a look at some of the interviews concerning this album and learn more about Austin Lunn and why the album transitions from black metal to Appalachian folk and bluegrass and how inspired that is. I feel like anymore I am drawn to an idea rather than a specific genre of music and the fact that this album, and a lot of Austin's work, speaks to me in that way only testifies to the fact that like minds attract each other no matter what boundaries or labels society tries to get us to conform to. So being on this schtick with this music after learning more about Austin and about his brewery, where he is head brewer, I decided I wanted to take the time to experience brewing as well while listening to this album and I couldn't help but think about the ideas that this album invokes and demonstrates and how it really is about the simple things more than anything else and the sooner we can learn that or unlearn our complacency with complication, the sooner we can experience life to it's fullest.

@juanker52 5 лет назад

I agree on many of those things, but neglecting complication is not the way. Austin sings in this album about the forests and nature in general and how we are affecting them negatively by failing to think about and address the negative consequences of our actions upon them. This is a problem that requires careful thinking and complex and deliberate solutions.

This thing is a BEAST. First listen answered a lot of internal frustrations that I have regarding future lifestyle choices. Everyone needs the woods, man. No other project, or group, emphasizes that message in a way like Panopticon. I'd rather be poor and living primitively than have a life full of confusion and affluence.

Jesus...my first listen of this one tonight, I've been a big fan of Austin's since he put out Kentucky originally, but I didn't even realize he had a new album coming out until last week (been out of the loop for a while on music). I don't think I've been this surprised by an album since Spectral Lore's III album, or Oak Pantheon's In Pieces. Great work, I can tell you put a lot of hard work into this one and it came out great.

@EvronWard 5 лет назад

Never heard of this band before. All I can say is that I am really glad I tripped over them. Very melodic. I am a huge metal fan,of all subdivisions there of. This has made the always expanding list. I always dig the bands that base their influence of their music on a outdoor/nature,nordic-like philosophy. Very surprising to hear that sound coming from a U.S. based talent/band. Scandinavian bands usually capture that sound with perfection. Kudos!!

@bondapovon 6 лет назад

So, quite often I agree with Anthony Fantano's reviews...but for sure not this time. This album absolutely rules and builds upon the prior works of an already stellar output for Panopticon.

@Ragorism 6 лет назад

Agreed. I understand his reasoning for some of the things he had listed (the layered or buried vocals, as some would prefer them to be more prominent), although he's right that the previous three albums do set an incredibly high expectation that might not be to his personal liking, which is fair I suppose. I personally think this is one of the best albums to come out this year, we'll see if I end up enjoying it more than Autumn Eternal, though.

@spazdal1 5 лет назад

I almost always find myself in agreement with the pro's and con's listed by Fantano. But I still find the flaws don't detract from the experience for me as much as they do for him. He reviews hundreds of albums a year, I bet that changes his listening experience a great deal.

I love metal, but I've never been a fan of black metal. I'm still not, it's like I haven't found the right emotions to feel when I hear it. It was the same with a lot of death metal, and then I figured out what I was feeling and became attached to it. I hope I can enjoy black metal one day for records like these. You say everything I've ever wanted someone to say in a song. Free ourselves from consumption, and look towards where we came from. The forest. The Americana sections might be my favorite music ever, I'm unbelievably in love with your music. And I have felt your message for years prior, I just never knew it. I have always been in love with our glorious winters, and the thought of it disappearing scares me.
