About this product

On InchThe Dead Light,Inch Fen explore the beauty that comes from destruction. Representing the vanguard of contemporary UK post black metal, the band offers it's heaviest, most direct album to date. It is the sixth full-length in a career of still less than 15 years and marks another recalibration for the three-piece that, while always prone to unconventional structures, found that the predecessor InchWinterInch (2017) was the apex in this respect. InchThis time, we took on the creative challenge to say more in less time,Inch says co-founder The Watcher. That does neither mean Fen lost their trademark sweeping melodies and atmosphere, nor does it go along with less progressive structures. If anything, the material shows the group at it's most British. InchI'm kind of old school, I love heavy metal,Inch the guitarist and singer explains regarding his more riff-oriented, straightforward approach that goes along with some more InchoutlandishInch influences, ranging from Voivod circa InchNothingfaceInch or InchAngel RatInch towards latter-day Enslaved. The result is a sound best described as Inchspectral, colder, sharperInch according to the front man, which also translated into lyrics that revolve around the search for knowledge, symbolized by our upward look to the stars. InchWhen we watch the sky, we basically travel into the past and literally see dead light - nuclear fire from exploded planets, annihilated civilisations.Inch Wiped out celestial bodies notwithstanding, with tunes like the twopartite, angular title track or the wistful 'Nebula,' which has already become a favourite among at the trio's concerts, Fen in 2019 are luminaries that could not burn brighter. InchThe Dead LightInch is available as Digipak CD, 2CD book edition (faux-leather hardcover, 18x18cm, 36 pages with preface, exclusive artwork and 3 bonus tracks) and gatefold 2LP (black and ltd. Violet).

Fen - Monuments to Absence - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
Not Yet Reviewed

DIG CD with 16-pages booklet. The colour of every FEN album points towards it's lyrical and musical content. For the first time in their career, the East Anglian post-black metal trio has used the colour red on the cover artwork of their seventh full-length InchMonuments to AbsenceInch. FEN describe the album as an expression of anger, hopelessness and despair - anger at the desperate futility of a human species hell-bent on self-destruction. This is reflected in the decidedly harsh and black sound of InchMonuments to AbsenceInch, which is undoubtedly FEN's most extreme recording to date, even though there are still moments of atmospheric glory, spatial clean sections, heaving doom, and full-blown riffs, which augment the furious expression of rage. FEN took their name from the Fen's of East Anglia when the trio formed in 2006. These desolate and bleak landscapes have left a deep mark in the post-black metal sound, which the band pioneered in the UK when the English scene revitalised in the wake of forerunners FOREFATHER with bands such as FEN, WINTERFYLLETH, and WODENSTHRONE coming to the fore. When FEN released their debut full-length InchThe Malediction FieldsInch (2009), the band made good on the huge promise of their previous EP InchAncient SorrowInch (2007) by delivering a first album that already combined the black metal tradition elegantly with a dedicated atmospheric twist and gentle experimentation beyond the perceived narrow confines of their genre. With each following full-length, from InchEpochInch (2011), via InchDustwalkerInch (2012), InchCarrion SkiesInch (2014), InchWinterInch (2017) to InchThe Dead LightInch (2019), FEN have expanded both their musical range and following, while also perfecting their recognisable and unmistakable sound. InchMonuments to AbsenceInch marks FEN's welcome return to a dark and fierce sound.
