Background information about 'Roads to the North (10th Anniversary Edition)'

The wait is nearly at an end for the latest Panopticon opus, "Roads to the North." Following up the critically acclaimed "Kentucky," this album represents a logical evolution into pure and passionate artistic expression. With Panopticon's solid foundation of emotive black metal armed with musical influences that proudly uphold traditional Americana (folk and bluegrass) elements, "Roads to the North" expands and destroys with melodic death metal harmonies, increased technical proficiency and a full/professional sound that propels this material into new realms of expression for Panopticon. Savagery and gripping emotion are ever-present in this masterpiece.

Sole visionary Austin Lunn's journey away from his home state has been beautifully documented on "Roads to the North," along with all the heartache, sorrow and triumph that followed him along the way. Each track becomes a chapter in his narrative—an evocative saga filled with atmospheric interludes and explosive crescendos. This album is not just a collection of songs but an immersive experience into Lunn's world, where raw emotion meets refined artistry.
