More about 'The Rime Of Memory'

The second chapter in Panopticon's trilogy exploring aging, grief, and environmental collapse,"The Rime of Memory" was released on November 29, 2023. This deeply introspective work finds Austin Lunn pushing his singular vision into even more cinematic territory,drawing the listener into a world shaped by the frozen planes of Minnesota.The album tangles with the failure to remain young and the realization that with each fleeting moment, we're growing older, creating what many considerthe best black metal record of 2023.With only six songs, but half of those going way beyond the 15-minute mark, the album weaves togetherblack metal with influences from bluegrass and Appalachian folkalongsideatmospheric black metal.Featuring collaborations with Charlie Anderson on violin, Patrick Urban on cello, and various guest vocalists, this expansive work showcasesan assured grace that nobody else would even attempt. The orchestral arrangements and global choir createa perfect soundtrack to the darker days to come, one tinged with some faint but ever-present threads of hope.
