Short intro

Panopticon is the third full-length album by Los Angeles, California based post-metal band ISIS, released by Ipecac Recordings in 2004. The album's title is derived from philosopher Jeremy Bentham's panopticon prison ideal and philosopherhistorian Michel Foucault's later allegorical appropriation of the concept. The liner notes also include quotes from technology writer Howard Rheingold and futurist Alex Steffen as a concept album, Panopticon's focus is on the proliferation of surveillance.

Writing for the record began in September 2003, soon after Isis had relocated from Boston to Los Angeles. Whilst some tracks originated from little jams the band would do at sound check, the majority of the album was created in time dedicated to writing new material.

ISIS - Panopticon review: Nothing will ever compare. I was browsing Sputnik one day, and I saw, in the featured section, a review for some band called Isis and their album Panopticon. I'd just been introduced to post-metal by a Finnish band called Callisto, and I was liking what I was hearing so far. The natural ambiance and the slow, epic buildups of the genre appealed to me, and I was looking for some more bands like Callisto. I'd heard of Isis before seeing as how huge they were in the post-metal scene, it'd be impossible for even a total rookie like me to not have heard of them, so, out of curiosity, I clicked on. Isaac Ortega I discovered Panopticon on an eternal poll on , asking for your favorite album of that year. I can only remember two of the choices: this album and Mare self-titled EP. Panopticon was my company for many sleepless nights back then when I was studying my master. It was perfect to listen, and it was perfect as background noise. Album 2004 7 Songs. Panopticon has the same cagey wall of noise as Oceanic, although the end product here is a little more polished. Aaron Turner is still howling and growling, but he's less reluctant to actually sing, just as the music is more inclined to stretch out into Pink Floyd's velvet atmospherics, which were a part of Oceanic, too, but just not as pronounced as they are here. Engineered and mixed at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on June, July 2004. Mastered at Paramount Mastering on July 2004. The album came in a small wax-sealed transparent bag including some goodies. Released in Japan by Daymare Recordings as DigiPak with the video for The Beginning And The End first track of the album Oceanic.
