Panopticon - Kentucky (2013)

Honestly the mixture of country and black metal gimmick kind of wears thin, it really just sounds like someone human-centipeded a country album with a black metal one, but the fact is that both arrangements are really well done so I quite enjoy it. Both genres (country, metal) have their roots steeped in the blue collar working class and this album is pretty much a testament the struggles of coal miners trying to get better working conditions and wages. If you're not into metal or country I can't see you getting anything out of this, but if you like one of the genres, but not the other, I think this could change some minds.

Definitely would recommend.
