Entry 1184 - Panopticon - ...And Again Into the Light


Style: Folk inspired black metal

Primary Emotions/Themes: Take a deep breath before listening, this one hits heavy

Thoughts: Every time I listen to this album I have to prepare myself emotionally. There is so much sorrow, so much helplessness here that it's soul crushing. 

The title track is all acoustic and starts the album off with the notion that hope is present but fleeting. It sets the tone for the album, and lets me know that this is not going to be an easy listen. Even sitting here now writing about it tears are welling up. 

I don't want to go into exquisite detail on how Panopticon accomplishes the emotional devastation that he does here. I want this to be something that I can experience again and again without remembering the fine details. Some albums deserve that kind of respect, and this most certainly is one of them.
