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 \"Monuments to Absence\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFEN 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is reflected in the decidedly harsh and black sound of \"Monuments to Absence\", 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFEN took their name from the Fens 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen FEN released their debut full-length \"The Malediction Fields\" (2009), the band made good on the huge promise of their previous EP \"Ancient Sorrow\" (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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith each following full-length, from \"Epoch\" (2011), via \"Dustwalker\" (2012), \"Carrion Skies\" (2014), \"Winter\" (2017) to \"The Dead Light\" (2019), FEN have expanded both their musical range and following, while also perfecting their recognisable and unmistakable sound. \"Monuments to Absence\" marks FEN's welcome return to a dark and fierce sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53430466019671,"sku":"P-134051-","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Fen-Monuments-To-Absence-CD-DIGIPAK-134051-1-1683725734.jpg?v=1778183804"},{"product_id":"fen-epoch-cd","title":"Fen - Epoch - CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe English band FEN returns with their second album, and they are already being hailed as the Opeth of Black Metal!

Of course, there is still much sonic aggression but channelled differently as large parts of \"Mourning Earth\" were recorded live to allow an organic nature to flow, and to permit the natural rhythms of the pieces to develop. Lyrically, FEN sum up their basic idea behind \"Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth\" in their own poetic words: \"The morning mists clearing over the boggy expanses of the fens to reveal another grey, gloom-laden day of sorrow and regret.
