PATRICIA THOMAS BAND MANAGEMENT

UK Progressive Black Metallers FEN have not only just finished work on their third full-length album, they have also renewed their contract with Code666 Records for the release of a further three albums.  Formed initially as a studio project in 2006, FEN draws its inspiration from the windswept, desolate landscape of England’s Fen region after which the band was named.  By fusing the cold rage of Black Metal with more reflective influences, FEN succeeds in creating a deeply intense, atmospheric, almost otherworldly sound, redolent of loss and melancholic yearning.

More information about FEN’s third full-length album, which is titled “Dustwalker” and is a follow up to “The Malediction Fields” which appeared in 2009 and “Epoch” released in 2011, will be available shortly.   FEN frontman The Watcher had this to say about the new contract: “We have been happy with the way we’ve been treated by Code666 in respect of the first three albums, and were impressed by the enthusiasm that the label has always shown for FEN and the faith they have placed in us, so it was logical for us to continue a relationship that was obviously working well”.

FEN is set to appear at the three-day Winter is Coming Festival in New London, Connecticut on the 13^th October, marking the band’s first appearance in the USA.  Their next European appearance will be at the Aurora Infernalis Festival in Arnhem, Netherlands on the 27 October.  More information about FEN can be found on the band’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/fenofficial

U.K. Progressive Black Metallers FEN will play their first ever date in North America on the 13^th October when they appear at the three-day Winter is Coming Festival which is taking place between the 12^th and 14^th October in New London, Connecticut.   EVOKEN, VITAL REMAINS, AGALLOCH and SIG:AR:TYR are amongst the 23 bands who will play at the festival, which this year is dedicated to the memory of WOODS OF YPRES frontman David Gold.

Formed in 2006 as a studio project by Grungyn, Theutus and The Watcher, and inspired by the windswept, desolate landscape of England’s Fen region, the band set out to fuse the cold rage of Black Metal with more reflective influences, creating a deeply intense and atmospheric sound which speaks of loss and melancholic yearning.  Quickly realising that a studio project would be too restricting, FEN soon started to perform live, and an offer from Northern Silence Productions resulted in the release of the “Ancient Sorrow” EP in 2007.

A three-album deal with Code666 Records followed and FEN’s debut full-length album “The Malediction Fields” appeared in 2009, followed by the sophomore full-length “Epoch” in 2011. With today’s line up of The Watcher on vocals and guitars, Grungyn on vocals and bass and newest member Derwydd on drums, the band is currently putting the finishing touches to their new album.   FEN’s next European appearance will be at the Aurora Infernalis Festival in Arnhem, Netherlands on the 27 October.  More information about FEN can be found on the band’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/fenofficial
