Fen is a British band known for crafting atmospheric and emotionally powerful black metal with post-rock and progressive influences. Formed in 2006 in the Fens of East Anglia, England, Fen draws inspiration from the desolate, windswept landscape of their homeland, shaping a sound that encapsulates both the melancholic beauty and the foreboding isolation of the rural countryside. The band consists of key members The Watcher (guitars and vocals), Grungyn (bass and vocals), and Havenless (percussion), whose synergy creates a blend of aggressive sonority and moments of pensive reflection.

With a discography that demonstrates a relentless pursuit of evolution, Fen's work chronicles a journey through the blend of black metal with elements of post-rock, shoegaze, and ambient atmospheres. Their full-length debut, "The Malediction Fields", released in 2009, set the stage for their signature sound, which they continued to refine and expand upon in subsequent albums like "Epoch" (2011) and "Dustwalker" (2013). Albums "Carrion Skies" (2014) and "Winter" (2017) saw the band delving further into expansive and more intricate compositions, cementing their position at the forefront of the UK black metal scene. "The Dead Light" (2019) is another notable entry in their catalog, highlighting Fen's ability to convey a sense of existential despair and beauty in equal measure. In addition to their studio albums, the band has shown versatility with acoustic releases such as "Gathering the Stones (Acoustic)", which provides a different, yet equally poignant, perspective on their artistry. Fen's musical journey, marked by their passion for pushing the boundaries of black metal, continues to resonate through the vivid and hauntingly immersive soundscapes they create, as epitomized in their latest release, "Monuments to Absence".
