Fane

supported by

BermondseyBob Melodic yet fearsome, this is an incredibly atmospheric slab of Black Metal. Highly recommended indeed! Favorite track: Oath.

Tom Shepherd Saw these guys smash their set at Chaos Theory's Ten Years of Chaos festival.

Album doesn't disappoint. Brutal and desolate, but with significant head-nodding potential, and enough unpredictability to keep the focussed black metal assault interesting. A bleak, windswept moor rather than a snow covered pine forest. But all the better for it. Favorite track: Return.

Simon Smith One of the best underground black metal bands from the UK and this album does them justice

1.	Fane 01:05
2.	Oath 09:42	lyrics
Oath Strange aeons pass. I have known a life Lived far too long. The centuries smoulder in my wake Like so many flies laid to waste by the stroke of a hand. And all the sadness of the world Beats on within my breast. Dull and soundless. I don’t sleep Yet I dream: That I walked once with a goat by the glow of flickering fire, By a brook, in a forest surrounded by meadow. In hushed tones we spoke of the fall of man And bound our blood together 'twixt hoof and hand.
3.	Passing 05:31	lyrics
As a child I almost died. My skin became cold, my heart slowed to an imperceptible patter And the breath froze in my lungs. They dug a grave for me. But I was not dead. In a way, I was sleeping. And in my sleep, I had a vision. By my bedside stood a figure, in the shape of a man. It seldom moved. But I knew it was waiting for something. For weeks it stood there in silence. And then it was gone. For many years I never saw it again Till last week, Standing by my window, it seemed to beckon me outside. I shut my eyes tight. “Please, leave me alone.” Seven nights later, it is still there, watching. And in my dreams, frigid hands grasp at my throat. I wake up cold. Its eyes, aglow in the darkness, pierce me. And when the wind rattles in the rafters, it calls my name.
4.	Return 06:03	lyrics
I returned, at length, to the place Where wild nettles once grew. Stung, I searched for dock leaves in the thicket, Picked them and placed them on the skin. I returned, that year, to the place, Where snow once fell upon the valley path. For hours I stayed there, shivering in the cold. No warmth there was to slight me, nor wind to guide me home. What happened there where the grass grows thickest? And the sun slants along the rocky stream? What happened there in days become old? The flowers do not answer The stones do not answer The sky does not answer Only the wind whispers here, An ancient tongue I know but cannot name. Only the breeze lost in the trees Laments my return
5.	Absence 02:40
6.	Worship 06:16	lyrics
When the whole world lies in silence Alone, I contemplate death. My hand is guided by the stars And the moon I draw the circle on the ground. Haunted by the wind I trudge To the place where I shall die. A pillar of salt no more But a grain of dust adrift on an eddy of air. Beneath the slathering rain I call its name; Its voice is the thunder that breaks the earth's brow. Lightning pierces my heart and I fall. Blood flows into the circle. Fills it. I exhale. Death comes. And In the darkness strange eyes glow. Talons black grasp at my throat. My skin tears. I disappear into the night. And the world returns Once more, to silence.
7.	Fragments 07:39	lyrics
Beyond the broken window, the street is deserted. I clear away the glass; cut my palms in doing so, Horsefly’s bite. Sharp and brief. Blood spills against the frame. A plastic bag drifts along the street. Nothing more. I think I hear a distant cry: it could be anything: It is hard to believe it human. I wish it were so. The rain comes now; it spatters the left side of my cheek, A droplet runs along the nape of my nape. I enjoy the coldness it brings. I remember the past. My childhood and all the long years in between, The loneliness in the wake. How they died one by one by one: all whom I had loved and hoped to love again. There is nothing now. The way the wind sighs makes me think about death. Up there in those rafters. A spider’s web holds my gaze for a moment. Then it falls. To the street. Up. Beyond the sunken buildings and the shorn-off rooftops, Beyond the hills and emaciated trees, Stick-like, naïve, as though scrawled by a child. A darkness is growing there. Spreading; staining the firmament like spilt paint from a jar clumsily nudged by the artist’s hand. Marring the horizon. Drowning the sky. Obliterating the dying light.

about

"The Fane is a house of secrets, a house of stories, a vault of the treasured knowledge that mankind has forgotten; it is a chalice of truth in an age of lies."

Ofte jeg drømmer mig død
by AFSKY

supported by 66 fans who also own “Fane”

The cover painting (Udslidt by H A Brendekilde, if anyone is interested) and the music is in perfect alignment. So much sorrow, so much despair... Right from the start I can feel my soul wither away with each riff. Still, towards the end of the record I can catch little glimpses of hope in the melodies. A beautiful journey in the bleak reality of existence. vilmosomedve

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

supported by 65 fans who also own “Fane”

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
