Collapse (remixed and remastered)

by Panopticon

supported by

Madrigal_hjalmar There is something very very wrong with the remix of Baldr…the bass is way overpowered and nearly cancels the vox and tremolo…I can’t hear any of the glorious oaken pantheon revolution…I will try again on my floorstanders when my vinyl arrives…even the talking heads are barely audible over the music..I don’t use a special DAC…but the original mix, though raw, is devastating and awe-inspiring as is. Definitely buy the remixed version to support Austin but the mix needs a lot of adjustments sadly Favorite track: The Death of Baldr and the Coming War.

amazing record. important bm record for me personally.

dr00 Hard to believe this is an older recording. Sounds awesome. My favorite track will change with my moods. I am a newer fan who is working my way into the back catalogue. Thanks for for this gift. Blessings to all who contributed to this as this music is so deeply personal to me.

mothmanterik Even After 13 years collapse has a special place in my heart as one of my all-time favorites of the genre, Lunn has reignited my love for music and metal in general and this album is the culmination of all his effort. give it a listen it will be worth your while! Favorite track: The Death of Baldr and the Coming War.

Zaru While the original album sounded great in its own right, the remix is a vast improvement.

FIrst off:
FOR THE PHYSICAL RELEASE, HEAD OVER TO BINDRUNE RECORDINGS FOR THE PRE ORDER.
There are records, t shirts and long sleeves there.

Here's some of the liner notes that come with the LP:

COLLAPSE, IN RETROSPECT.

Well over a decade ago I tracked this album in a dank basement in Louisville, Kentucky, with one of my best friends at the controls…It was rough around the edges, but a very creative time for me and I thoroughly enjoyed making this album. I learned a lot about my
process as a musician, a song writer and a lyricist. I made a lot of mistakes, and grew from them, but all in all I look back on that time period very fondly.
Since 2008 when this album was recorded, a lot has changed in the world. (at the time of this writing it is 2021) Reading through the lyrics and liner notes, I can remember how I felt writing it…like I was watching a storm roll in from the distance, helpless to wait for it to bare down on us all. I obviously had no idea what was coming….

The strange thing is that the challenges we have faced on this planet since then have been so different than I imagined in my mind…as a younger version of myself, I imagined this dystopian
future…like something from a Hollywood film…but in truth, the hardships we would face didn’t all happen at once, they didn’t come on like a storm, they were more like slowly rising flood waters, eventually pulling us under in it’s swift current and pummeling us with debris.

It feels strangely appropriate to reissue this album this year (2021), in the wake of the pandemic and political turmoil that has embroiled the United States over the past several years. I remember feeling like I was being so paranoid when I was writing this record…I joked I should sell tin foil hats with copies of the album. In truth, looking back, I wasn’t that far off… ain’t that some shit?!

I want to give a special thanks for the two engineers who made this release possible, the original engineer who worked tracked it, A.P Lunn, my “cosmic twin” as he used to put it when we were younger. I love you brother. Thank you so much.
And I want to thank my incredibly patient, dear friend and collaborator Spenser Morris, for fixing all my sloppy performances and helping make this album a cleaner, tighter version. As I stated above, I have certainly learned from my mistakes. I am so glad to have this opportunity to go back and fix some of them.
I want to especially thank my wife, Bekah for her photography and contributions to the album, but most of all her support from the beginning. If it wasn’t for her encouragement and support, I never would have done any of this ....
don’t let the fire burn out .
A.Lunn, 2021

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid II

supported by 69 fans who also own “Collapse (remixed and remastered)”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
