Jordan Vauvert J'aime marcher. C'est un sport paradoxal : vous êtes prisonniers d'un mouvement répétitif et devez garder une attention constante au monde qui vous entoure au risque de vous mettre en danger ; vous êtes surtout prisonniers de vos limites physiques. Mais de l'autre côté, rares sont les sports pouvant faire partir votre imagination aussi loin. The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness (I and II), c'est la mise en œuvre de cette philosophie : c'est la liberté. Le magnum opus de Panopticon. Favorite track: Snow Burdened Branches.

Scrivener ð Getting lost after sundown in the pitch pines & scrub oaks and finding my way back to the trailhead just as 'Beast Rider' came on was a perfect introduction to this melancholy masterpiece.

about

This is the full two disk, 2 hour long album sequenced as one long record, as it was meant to be heard. Please don't listen to the album on your laptop speakers, it will sound like shit. Give it a shot on a long hike or by a fire with headphones. The first half of the album is atmospheric metal, the second half is more americana focused, so beware if you hate country/folk.
cheers

Blåtimen is in honor and dedication of Valfar's WINDIR
The Wandering Ghost is for Adam Nicholson and in memory of Guy Clark.
This album takes inspiration from the words of Sigurd Olson and the North woods he so cherished.

This album is in loving memory of Cliff and Ele Hokanson.

NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON WAS ASKED TO REVIEW THIS ALBUM.
