metal and ambient folk black metal, taking influence from bands such as Neurosis, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Agalloch
and Buried Inside. They described their music as heavy atmospheric post-hardcore.
The concept was based loosely around their own interpretation of the mythology in the novel Watership Down by Richard
Adams. The band created a trilogy of records known collectively as “The Warren of Snares”: Owsla (guardian), Elil (enemy),
and Inlé (death). The narrative behind the lyrics followed a society on the brink of social collapse, under a theocratic rule.
An uprising occurs in the face of a greater enemy. Characters from the book, and the make-believe language known as
‘lapine’, were included in both the artwork and lyrics.
The band received a lot of praise for their music, both for the concept surrounding the band - a mix of mythological
language and imagery amidst anti-religious, animal rights ideologies - and the music itself, although fans are often divided,
when pigeon-holing their sound.
The band was staunchly DIY, but managed to sidestep specific labels by incorporating a mixture of disparate post-rock and
avant-garde/folk black metal passages and hardcore punk influences. « hide |
