Panopticon

Panopticon is an atmospheric metal band that blends elements of black metal, dark metal and melodic death metal with American folk music, post rock and progressive rock elements. Panopticon’s subject matter varies, including political issues, history, pagan spirituality, environmental issues and personal struggles. Typically the albums are conceptual (excluding the first record) and carry a theme throughout the entire record. Influences range from 90’s black metal bands and melodic death metal, to post rock and indie rock, to early folk, bluegrass and country music.
