Panopticon is intensely emotional and atmospheric Black Metal that transcends the genre with both boots deeply submerged in the grim aggression that keeps the underground flame burning. Blazing modern raw black metal seemlessly merges with American bluegrass and folk using a myriad of wind, stringed, and keyed instruments. Where other bands seem to force the blend of styles, Panopticon never falters.

Panopticon deals with issues such as: Anarchist history,the radical workers movement past and present, the continuing effects of industrial life, heathen spirituality, Nordic lore and History, an undying love for the wild and the fury of our earth.
