99. Fen - "Monuments To Absence"

Fragile post-black metal from the fen’s of East Anglia. This is a beautiful record that is marinated in misery. It feels introspective and contemplative, subverting Black Metal’s usual malevolent nature. It has harsh moments but then it retreats into its insular solipsism. A brooding soul-searching record that uses Black Metal as a redemptive aid.
