With Laurentian Blue, PANOPTICON ventures beyond the boundaries of metal to explore an entirely different emotional terrain. Though not the band’s first foray into acoustic territory – The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness, Part 2 (2018) charted similar ground – this album deepens the journey. Described by Austin Lunn as ‘Northwoods Americana’ or ‘outdoor country’, it offers a raw and intimate reflection on loss, change, and the quiet strength of human connection. 

Written alongside ...And Again into the Light (2021), this companion piece trades distortion for acoustic resonance – banjo, mandolin, resonator guitar, and twin violins painting a soundscape steeped in frost, memory, and resilience. While the palette is gentler, the themes remain no less weighty: the burden of regret, the passage of time, and the quiet act of holding on – not for oneself, but for those who remind us of our worth.

Inspired by songwriters like Blaze Foley and Townes Van Zandt, Laurentian Blue is a record of stark beauty and quiet defiance. It stands as a testament to PANOPTICON's ever-evolving spirit – wherever the sound may go, the heart remains the same.
