We review the sixth full-length from UK-based black metal project Fen — how does the band stack up after nearly a decade of releases?

We unveil the second full-length from London trio Torpor — “Rhetoric of the Image” is sludgy post-metal with a doomy twist. The album releases Friday, but listen now via our early full stream.
