Atmospheric black metal project Panopticon just made available online a brand-new track, entitled "Cedar Skeletons". It is going to be part of the band's forthcoming album, The Rime Of Memory, which is expected to be released in late autumn, with pre-orders starting around the end of summer.

Mastermind Austin Lunn commented: "This track is from the new album " The Rime of Memory". It features guest vocals by my friend Victor Sanchez and a choir comprised of many of my collaborators (Andrea from Exulansis, William from Dalla Nebia, and Andy, whom y'all know as the bass player from our live band). Patrick Urban (Dämmerfarben) wrote and performed Cello, Charlie Anderson returned to collaborate on this album on fiddle, and we had a great time recording and arranging together.

"This is being released today because SO many of you wrote the county commissioner to advocate for the continued permit issuing for FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS...which is one of the best outdoor metal festivals in the world. So thank you so much!
I hope you'll enjoy the song and thank you again.
Pre orders for the album will be coming towards the end of summer, and expect a release right around when the snow returns to northern Minnesota...late fall ....

"Thank you again. Don't let the fire burn out!!!
Austin"
