More Info

Eine der grössten Überaschungen des Jahres aus der im weitesten Sinne "experimentellen" oder "advanced" Metal-Szene ist sicher das Debut-Album von FAUNA! RAIN ist ein urlanger, epischer One-tracker der Regenwald field recordings, akustischen dark folk und extremen black metal vereint und dabei einen unglaublichen explosiven Spannungsbogen webt... extrem & ungewöhnlich!

"Genre: Apocalyptic atavism. Aurora Borealis is proud to present 'Rain' by the ultra obscure FAUNA. Based in the temperate rainforest region of the Pacific Northwest, FAUNA are a strongly eco-centric two piece band working in the black metal genre. 'Rain' consists of one epic track lasting over an hour. Beginning with a field recording of rain in a forest, the piece thereafter becomes an acoustic journey, sung vocals complete this section before a raw black metal surge of power and pummel. FAUNA create honest, atavistic music in dark times for humanity and the world that nurtures us. We are very proud to present "Rain" as a CD with matte insert, housed in a black heavyweight cardstock hand screened card package, with black artwork." [label info]

"..One of the two members of Fauna also plays in pagan doom folk outfit Alethes, which makes perfect sense in the context of Rain, and the influence of their WITTR neighbors can definitely be heard throughout, but Fauna definitely make that sound their own, mixing long stretches of doomy folkiness with intensive blasts of blackened fury, and peppering the proceedings with bits of sprawling doom, and shimmery ambience, to create their own sonic representation of the forest they call home. Gorgeous packaging too, black on black origami style fold over cardstock sleeve, with a simple booklet featuring just the lyrics and no other info. Cool." [Aquarius Records review]
