Known for their atmospheric sound, FEN was formed  in 2006, and today’s lineup is comprised of The Watcher  on guitars and vocals, Grungyn on bass and vocals, and Derwydd on drums.  As The Watcher recently explained, “Carrion Skies” takes up where its predecessor “Dustwalker” left off and builds on what is a very strong foundation :  ” This record takes the approach we started on ‘Dustwalker’ and builds on it further, whilst simultaneously acknowledging the more obscure-sounding roots of our debut.  Bleaker, harder, yet at the same time more ambient, this record moves us further away from the accepted tropes of what ‘post’ black metal should sound like in 2014″
