A concept album about mortality that was originally distributed among a two split albums--one with Skagos, another with When Bitter Spring Sleeps; both recommended.

Split with When Bitter Spring Sleeps: http://www.mediafire.com/?9cvj5zmz282tn77
Both splits constitute the album as well as the sides from the aforementioned bands, so obtaining the files from all three links might prove a tad redundant--unless you're like me, stupidly taking pride in my collection of underhandedly gained files. . .
On The Subject of Mortality features heavy use of clips from Ingmar Bergman's movie, The Seventh Seal, which happens to be one of my favourite movies. Per usual, we are presented with Panopticon's familiar--yet no less outstanding--bag of tricks: grimly-produced blastbeats to rival those of Frost, raw seas of screeching guitars, echoed shrieks, and folky interludes. Worth a listen for anyone who doesn't immediately dismiss usbm (a trend I still fail to understand.)
