Ädäm German black metal of the 90s era, absolutely powerful and authentic! Favorite track: Monument der Tränen.

Ädäm One of the strongest German symphonic and atmospheric black metal bands of all time! Support or die! Favorite track: Auf alten Pfaden.

hereticeric Rerecording after 20 years, that often goes wrong, but it did not!
The spirit and the insanity is still there.(the vocals differ the most, they are more present in the mix)
Overall my favorite Schattenvald release.

metalex I have to admit that the new production feels just awesome. This music and its story are a gift to long-time Schattenvald fans. Thank you so much - excellently crafted! Favorite track: Der Nachtwanderer.

Bürli You know it's a great metal album if your neck tells you to bang your head.

Melancholic Melodic Black Metal with hints of Agrypnie. Favorite track: Echo der Schöpfung.

Eric Devin Excellent! Maybe a notch below Rime but still another outstanding example of Austin's work!

tomazp There are no missteps when it comes to Panopticon. The journey has wound as a life does: from rage to resolve, from despair to wonder. From Collapse through Kentucky, from Scars through Laurentian Blue, there has existed a promise of Panopticon fully integrating the disparate elements of Crust, Black, Folk, Doom, and Bluegrass, the themes of nature, political action and personal struggles. Here is Panopticon, perhaps finally fully realized in the new guise of a storyteller. Wonderful. Favorite track: Ghost Eyes in the Fire Light.

Harold N’Hiver I just turned 50. I have always cared about this world and I still do. But as I age it gets ever harder to give a fuck, especially as the world continues to spiral into greater depravity on a daily basis.

BUT - I have 3 children who will inherit what I leave behind, and every time a Panopticon release drops, and Austin writes, “Don’t let the fire burn out,” I am reminded that I am called upon to care more then ever, and to fight. This man’s records call me to that struggle

Thank you, Austin.
