July 7, 2023 has been set as the official release date of the Fen's seventh full length instalment, Monuments To Absence. The newly announced music effort is comprised of 8 songs and almost 70 minutes in total. Do not hesitate and give a listen to the album's opening track and first single, "Scouring Ignorance".




Says the band of the first single: "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."
