User Album Review
A surprising sense of purpose and direction is obvious in this effort, and it easily carries the album above what immediately preceded it. As such, Carrion Skies offers a clear point of distinction leading off from the prior record. The drums no longer sound like the belting of a bucket, and the production lends them a satisfying density to drive the overall sound, drive being an operative word as the melodic construction of this track-list offers a return to the band's standard of quality in song writing, moving the music at a gripping pace. This isn't to forgo the expected atmospheric aspect, which is here interspersed between the segments promising a record which is less ambitious and more identifiably generic, yet also demonstrably more rewarding for listeners seeking a more abrasive and focused performance.
Fen have taken a linear approach in their latest album, no doubt, yet one which recalls how well the band can perform at their most volatile and direct. From open to close, Carrion Skies flows with clearly defined direction. ----- metalstorm.net
