I'd normally write a review and expect there to be shouts if anyone had anything to say about the release, but I'm still feeling a bit too burned out to write for it, so let's try using this forum for what it is for and talk about something.
 Panopticon, the subject of the May 2016 MMA Reviewer's Challenge (as an aside, where did two years go since we did that?) for the album Kentucky, recently (April 6th) released its latest releases, The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness Part I & II. The first part is an atmospheric black metal album as you'd expect to hear from the project and the second is a mostly acoustic, folk music release, which also shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has heard the directions Austin Lunn has gone in on various albums, especially Kentucky. The two are considered one album by the artist but we list as two here due to the primary physical release being separate. It's supposed to be listened to in one two hour hit though. I've purchased the boxset of both and have really enjoyed them but haven't been blown away the way I was with Kentucky. I'm currently the only ratings on either MMA entry though so I'm wondering if anyone here has even heard them yet? It can be streamed in full here: https://thetruepanopticon.bandcamp.com/album/the-scars-of-man-on-the-once-nameless-wilderness-i-and-ii |
