For over a decade WREN have meticulously crafted a sound and aesthetic inspired by the complex nature of the lived human condition; being as cathartic as it is bleak. They aspire to connect with each person encountering their music, be it through recorded or live listening. In whatever way it is experienced the music is a visceral offering to its audience to take from it what they will.
The theme inherent throughout ‘Black Rain Falls’ is the shared grief of the band members. The members of the band experienced a tragic loss that has redefined there reasons for living and playing music.
This is how the band in their own words described the album...
"The new record is a crystallisation of the conceptual voice-giving to
natural collapse, humanity's decline and the shadowed spectre that has imbued WREN since the beginning."
Since their inception WREN have maintained a strict independent ethos, collaborating on album releases with various UK labels (Gizeh Records, Astral Noize). WREN have played hundreds of shows across the UK and Europe with bands including Kowloon Walled City (USA), Inter Arma (USA), Unsane (USA), Fórn (USA), Moloch (UK), Birds In Row (FR) and more, and played at festivals such as Damnation, Arctangent, Desertfest, Incubate (NL) and Raw Power to name a few.
