FEN - Stone and Sea EP
Eisenwald
For the past bunch of years I've repeated the same jargon about every new release by FEN. This time I'm gonna cut it back some. I really liked their debut The Malediction Fields back in 2009. Then every release afterwards devoted too much emphasis on shoegaze influences than black metal. But in 2017 their full length Winter won me back over.
So here we are now with a new three song EP and my first thoughts are that the middle appearing title song sucks. A neo folk ditty which deserves to be on an EP or at least a throwaway track for filler on a full length. Third song "The Last Gravestone" is reminiscent of the material on their last album. The opener, "Tides of Glass" is total shoegaze worship from their mediocre releases. I think these tracks are studio throwaways albeit enhanced to a degree which gives em a demo pass. I guess I'm back to hating FEN again.
