'Panopticon' is the third full-length album from Isis and is a dense tidal wave of mysteriously melodic sprawl. It's shoe-gazing music for the hardcore head. You don't need to be a fan of the avant metal scene to enjoy 'Panopticon', but you will need an attention span. The Boston quintet blends swelling and swirling guitars over seven slow-building epic rock jams, each between seven and 10 minutes long. Sparse vocals, mostly incomprehensible growls and howls, dot the rolling, atmospheric soundscape, a sonic frontier filled with moments of crushing force and fading peace.
'Panopticon' features guest bass from Justin Chancellor (Tool) and production courtesy of Matt Bayles (Pearl Jam) and comes courtesy of Mike Patton's label Ipecac.
