Fen Unveil New Track & Album Details

East Anglian black metal act, FEN, has announced the details for their forthcoming seventh full-length album. Monuments To Absence is an eight track monster scheduled for release on July 7th courtesy of Prophecy Productions.

The band have revealed the album cover art, tracklisting, and first single "Scouring Ignorance", which is presented via music video. Scroll down to see it all!

Mastermind Frank "The Watcher" Allain comments, "We originally wanted to pen a piece from a perspective of strength and self-actualization, addressing the idea of literally scouring ignorance from the world through determination and drive. We swiftly became aware of the futility of such a notion and instead, 'Scouring Ignorance' confronts ignorance itself as an almost tangible force – an infectious, quasi-elemental power that sweeps across our reality. Enlightenment, reason, empathy, and rationality are scoured from thought by the corrosive nature of ignorance itself, willingly embraced by the hapless herds that infest this world. This is a more realistic way to address the manifestations of ignorance swirling around us, reflected in the feverish gaze of foaming-mouthed demagogues and lapped up by the multitudes of the witless. Accompanied by one of our most intense compositions to date and placing the piece as the opener of the album we feel is a defiant and determined statement."

Monuments to Absence is available as 36-page hardcover 2CD artbook, as a gatefold marble red and black vinyl 2LP, a gatefold black vinyl 2LP, and as a Digipak CD. Pick it up HERE.
