Panopticon, the brainchild of Austin Lunn, merges the atmospheric fury of black metal with American folk, bluegrass, and post-rock textures. The project explores themes of nature, personal struggle, and socio-political critique, all wrapped in a deeply emotional and expansive sonic landscape. From blistering blast beats to banjo interludes, Panopticon defies genre while honoring its roots. It’s music that feels both primal and pastoral, raw yet reverent.
