Fauna - Ochre & Ash from 9.58 $

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 14:40:04 +0200

"Ochre & Ash" is the title of the fourth full-length from Cascadian black metal shamans FAUNA. Ochre and ash are also two of the main ingredients used by ancient humans to create paintings in caves. The album cover combines these two aspects by using an image from the Cueva de las Manos ("Cave of the Hands") in Argentina, where the oldest hands stencilled onto the rock date back to about 7,300 BC. FAUNA are animist ministers who take listeners and participants in their live rituals back to the origins of our species, to an age of hunters and gatherers and archaic human spirituality. "Ochre & Ash" is conceived as a shamanic underworld journey, a process of ritual death, harrowing passage through unknown realms, and rebirth into new form. Although "Ochre & Ash" looks like a regular album with six tracks at a superficial glance, it is in fact intended as one whole piece that is divided into three "songs", which are interspersed with ambient interludes. The concept of "Ochre & Ash" reaches all the way back to the founding purpose of FAUNA. This musical entity came into being in Olympia, Washington in 2004, when a spiritual drive to explore shamanism and atavism, which means the reemergence of traits thought to be lost from human biology and culture, birthed itself in the creation of black metal fury. Musically, FAUNA soon evolved into an integral and inspirational part of the sonic revolution now known as Cascadian black metal, alongside and in creative exchange with legends such as AGALLOCH and WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM. With "Ochre & Ash", FAUNA take their listeners on a shamanic journey back deep in time into an age of early hunters and gatherers with a black metal ritual that echoes ancient humans assembling at torchlight in dark caves to spray-paint hands, animals, and tools through hollow bone pipes with ochre and ash in an act of magic onto the bare bones of the earth.

Fauna - Avifauna from 9.58 $

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 08:18:15 +0200

Originators of Cascadian Black Metal, Fauna have made an incredibly deep imprint on the American metal scene. Utilizing both unrelenting black metal alongside periodic acoustic meditations, they stand as a truly unique force, impacting fellow artists Agalloch and directly influencing the development of Wolves in the Throne Room. But while these artists have thrived in the public spotlight, Fauna chose to stay in the shadows, and to remain quietly in the damp, wild forests of the Pacific Northwest.

In 2012 “Avifauna” emerged as the latest album released by Fauna. The album explores the connections between bird flight and the human spiritual quest, centering around a dialogue between numinous Others and ourselves in a dance of interwoven meanings. With so much of the sound Fauna fans have loved from the previous two efforts, “Avifauna” is distinctly unique. Being released so late after “The Hunt” in 2007, many fans were eager to see the band’s direction, and the album did not disappoint. “Fauna’s third LP definitely proves itself to have been worth the wait and should definitely establish the band as one of the true heavyweights in American black metal.” (Sputnik Music)

The album opens with delicate bird songs, chirping and ushering you into soft, acoustic melodies both eerie and deeply melancholic. This enchanting invitation gives way to raw black metal fury. The album is written in such a way that it’s oscillations between heaviness and melody jar and disorient the listener, all while building a deep relationship with Fauna’s musical journey. While still incorporating the band’s trademark soundscapes, “Avifauna” is much more melodic and less sound heavy than the previous release, “The Hunt”.

In 2004, the drive to explore shamanism and atavism (the reemergence of traits thought to be lost from the human biology and culture) birthed itself in the creation of Olympia black metal fury, Fauna. Originators of the scene we now know as Cascadian Black Metal, Fauna aims at finding antidotes to the woes of the modern age, and a cathartic expression of the contemporary soul longing for the old ways.
On “The Hunt” (2007), which is their second album, Fauna particularly took the chance to explore another facet of the human experience - delving into the themes of initiation, hunter and the hunted, life and death, and the need to engage with unseen forces to sustain one’s people with life-giving bounty.
“The Hunt” is a collection of soundscapes, blistering black metal, and haunting space. Using carefully crafted sounds recorded from the forest, human movement and other natural elements, Fauna weaves a story that will leave the listener both longing for a prior existence and enthralled by pure, unabashed black metal.
