Fauna are the originators of Cascadian Black Metal, impacting legends like Agalloch and directly influencing Wolves in the Throne Room. Formed as an antidote to the alienation of the modern human spirit and dedicated to cultivating lost channels of the human condition, their music exists as a collection of experience and ritual. Their live performances are truly the main event, manifesting themselves through shamanic practice in atypical venues or highly transformed spaces, with the intent of total immersion in a field of transcendence.
