Fen

A fen is one of the main types of wetland, the others being grassy marshes, forested swamps, and peaty bogs. Along with bogs, fens are a kind of mire. Fens are usually fed by mineral-rich surface water or groundwater. They are characterised by their water chemistry, which is pH neutral or alkaline, with relatively high dissolved mineral levels but few other plant nutrients. They are usually dominated by grasses and sedges, and typically have brown mosses in general including Scorpidium or Drepanocladus. Fens frequently have a high diversity of other plant species including carnivorous plants such as Pinguicula. They may also occur along large lakes and rivers where seasonal changes in water level maintain wet soils with few woody plants. The distribution of individual species of fen plants is often closely connected to water regimes and nutrient concentrations.

Fens have a characteristic set of plant species, which sometimes provide the best indicators of environmental conditions. For example, fen indicator species in New York State include Carex flava, Cladium mariscoides, Potentilla fruticosa, Pogonia ophioglossoides and Parnassia glauca.

Fen (band)

Fen is a British black metal/post-rock band formed in 2006 from the Fens of East Anglia signed to the label Code666. Their Myspace page reports that they "draw the listener into a windswept and desolate landscape, bereft of hope". In 2006 they recorded the Ancient Sorrow EP (released on both CD and vinyl) and January 2009 saw the release of the first full length album The Malediction Fields under the CODE666 record label. In 2011 they released the second studio album Epoch (also CODE666 records), gaining positive reviews in leading magazines Metal Hammer (8/10) and Terrorizer magazine (7.5/10). The album was launched at the Bull & Gate venue in London with support from the old Corpse Road on 11 February 2011.

Fen have played at many festivals and with many other acts, including at the Infernal Damnation Festival, the Damnation Festival 2010 (alongside acts such as Sabbat and Lawnmower Deth) the Aurora Infernalis Festival in 2012 (alongside Primordial) and tours (including international dates) with Negura Bunget, Wodensthrone and Agalloch.

    The Malediction Fields

    by: Fen

    Flayed by the driving rain, of black clouds scud across the sky,
    The world roars with rage and the very ground trembles.
    I watch as lightening spears the darkness,
    The stark outline of the trees stripped bare by winters ravaging chill.
    Wind screams, cutting the knives of sharpened frost,
    As I raise my arms to embrace the assault,
    All that lives cowers in the shadow of elemental wrath,
    Yet I stand and roar my challenge to the maelstrom.
    Mountains rear in the darkness,
    Colossal megaliths of malediction's promise,
    Looming, immense, all knowing,
    Stoic against the fury of the storm.
    The raging tempest shrieks of hatred,
    Bunched clouds toil with the need to destroy,
    But I will remain unmoved in the face of the assault.
    I welcome the pain of nature's vengeance.
    Eyes clenched shut,
    The freezing wind and stinging waters
    Fear my skin and slake the thirst in my yearning soul,
    Never have I felt so alive,
    Every nerve tingles, every sense razor-keen,
    This frail, thin, stooped prison of flesh,
    Punished and invigorated.
    Crushed into the sodden earth.
    And therein will remain forever.
