[订购] Panopticon – Laurentian Blue, CD [预付款1|119]

DIGICD. 美国民谣氛围黑金属Panopticon民谣专辑。

发行时间：8月15日。

Panopticon 凭借《Laurentian Blue》突破了金属乐的界限，探索了截然不同的情感领域。虽然这张专辑并非乐队首次涉足原声音乐领域——2018 年发行的《The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness, Part 2》也曾涉足类似的领域——但这张专辑却进一步加深了他们的探索之旅。Austin Lunn 将其描述为“北美森林风情”或“户外乡村”，它对失落、变化以及人际联系中静谧的力量进行了原始而私密的反思。

这首姊妹作与《...And Again into the Light》（2021）一同创作，以原声共鸣取代了失真——班卓琴、曼陀林、共鸣吉他和双小提琴共同描绘出一幅浸润着寒霜、记忆和韧性的音景。虽然色调更加柔和，但主题依然沉重：悔恨的重担、时间的流逝，以及默默地坚持——不是为了自己，而是为了那些提醒我们自身价值的人。

《Laurentian Blue》的灵感源自 Blaze Foley 和 Townes Van Zandt 等词曲作者，展现了纯粹的美感和静谧的反抗。它见证了 Panopticon 不断演变的精神——无论声音去往何方，内心始终如一。

Austin Lunn 评论道：

《Laurentian Blue》的大部分创作于我人生中一段极其黑暗的时期。许多歌曲的创作灵感都源于我人生中一段极其黑暗的时期。在明尼苏达州北部苏必利尔国家森林深处的一间偏僻小屋——在 2021 年搬到这里全职居住之前，我经常去那里。

这张专辑诞生于我数年极度抑郁和悲伤的时期——那段时期经历了个人的失去、亲人的离世、医疗创伤、全球疫情以及国家危机和动乱。写作成为了一种创造平静空间来容纳和处理这些经历的方式。

最后三首歌是在我搬到明尼苏达州最北端，深入北方森林，靠近边界水域的荒野之后创作的。那片风景的静谧与孤独自然地融入了我的音乐之中。

过去几年，我们很享受现场演唱这些歌曲，我很高兴终于能够与大家分享这些录音。

With “Laurentian Blue”, Panopticon ventures beyond the boundaries of metal to explore an entirely different emotional terrain. Though not the band’s first foray into acoustic territory – “The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness, Part 2” (2018) charted similar ground – this album deepens the journey. Described by Austin Lunn as ‘Northwoods Americana’ or ‘outdoor country’, it offers a raw and intimate reflection on loss, change, and the quiet strength of human connection.

Written alongside “...And Again into the Light” (2021), this companion piece trades distortion for acoustic resonance – banjo, mandolin, resonator guitar, and twin violins painting a soundscape steeped in frost, memory, and resilience. While the palette is gentler, the themes remain no less weighty: the burden of regret, the passage of time, and the quiet act of holding on – not for oneself, but for those who remind us of our worth.

Inspired by songwriters like Blaze Foley and Townes Van Zandt, “Laurentian Blue” is a record of stark beauty and quiet defiance. It stands as a testament to Panopticon’s ever-evolving spirit – wherever the sound may go, the heart remains the same.

Austin Lunn commented:

“Laurentian Blue” was mostly written during an extremely dark time in my life. Many of the songs took shape in a remote cabin deep within Northern Minnesota’s Superior National Forest — a place I visited often before relocating there full-time in 2021.

The album emerged during several years of intense depression and grief — a period marked by personal loss, the death of a family member, medical trauma, a global pandemic, and a national crisis and uprising. Writing became a way to create a calm space to hold and process those experiences.

The final three songs were written after I moved to the far north of Minnesota, out into the North Woods, near the deep wilderness of the Boundary Waters. The stillness and solitude of that landscape naturally found their way into the music.

We’ve enjoyed performing these songs live over the past couple of years, and I’m excited to finally be able to share the recordings with others.
