Commenting on
"Dustwalker",
FEN frontman
The Watcher had this to say: "If
'Epoch' embodies a lonely walk into the deepening twilight of the fens in autumn, then
'Dustwalker' represents the cold, sharp greys of a bleak winter's dawn. An expression of isolation, abandonment and a gradual detachment from the material realm, this album is a starker, more direct representation of the
FEN sound."
