Panopticon have been rolling out new album The Rime Of Memory since summer, sharing songs both epic in scope and concise in their small-scale beauty. Today Austin Lunn has shared the album’s closing track, a 15-minute sprawling behemoth called “The Blue Against The White.” Like so much of Panopticon’s music, it’s inspired by the natural beauty of Lunn’s Minnesota locale, as he explains in a note to Bandcamp followers today accompanied by the above image:

Hello! Sorry to interrupt,
In honor of the first snow accumulation of the year in my corner of Northern Minnesota, I went ahead and released ” The Blue against the White” featuring beautiful guest vocals by Johan from Efterbild and Höstblod. Here’s a photo of the songs name sake from this morning. I hope you all have a great Halloween and enjoy your evening!
There’s still a few copies of the album available at bindrunerecordings.com, but this pressing will likely be gone very soon.
best wishes Austin
