Après avoir annoncé la sortie du successeur de Autumn Eternal sorti en 2015, le one-man band américain de Cascadian Black Metal Panopticon dévoile quelques informations sur ce septième album.
Ce nouvel album intitulé The Scars Of Man On The Once Nameless Wilderness I And II sortira le 6 avril prochain via Bindrune Recordings et Nordvis Produktion.
Ce double-album sortira aux formats CD, et LP, en édition double contenant les deux chapitres (éditions limitée toutefois) ou individuelle. Les deux albums étant radicalement différent mais formant néanmoins un tout.
Voici le communiqué du groupe à ce sujet :
"The Scars of
Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness” is a two part album that
musically explores the two separate musical sides of Panopticon. Part
1 harkens back to melodic Black and Death Metal influences and part 2
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.
Clocking in at
about 2 hours, this collection is intended to be heard as a body of
work, but as always thats up to the listener to decide."
