Panopticon - …And Again into the Light CD

Originally released in 2021, “...And Again into the Light” marked a profound new chapter for Panopticon. The album’s sprawling compositions weave aggressive metal, Appalachian folk, and atmospheric textures into a deeply personal meditation on grief, renewal, and the human cost of industrialisation.

A work of immense emotional depth, “...And Again into the Light” explores the turbulence of midlife, the consequences of past choices, and the longing for atonement – themes mirrored by the broader existential threat of ecological collapse. Across its eight tracks, Austin Lunn draws the listener through soaring clean vocals, raw fury, and haunting acoustic passages, forging a journey both harrowing and hopeful.

Lauded as one of Panopticon’s most powerful and cohesive statements, “...And Again into the Light” remains a landmark achievement – a soul-baring reflection wrapped in some of the most evocative and genre-defying extreme metal of its era.
