Carach Angren was formed in 2003, in the Dutch municipality of Landgraaf, after two members of Vaultage, Lee Hartney and Inger Indolia, started a side project based on their shared love of legends and black metal. Eventually, Carach Angren was more successful, so both stepped down from Vaultage.
In 2004, Carach Angren released their first EP, The Chase Vault Tragedy. The EP is a concept album, telling the story of mysteriously moving coffins known as the Chase Vault Mystery. In 2005, the band released a second EP, Ethereal Veiled Existence, covering the story of the Brown Lady. In 2007, Carach Angren was signed to Maddening Media, a German independent record label. Carach Angren recorded their first full-length album for this label, Lammendam, which received positive international reviews following its release in 2008.[2][3][4]
Their second album, Death Came Through a Phantom Ship, was released on 26 February 2010. To support the album, Carach Angren toured Europe under "A Declaration of Hate" tour, with extreme metal bands Dark Funeral, Zonaria and Nefarium.
On 18 May 2012, the band released their third studio album, Where the Corpses Sink Forever. This concept album covers themes surrounding war, including war, death, and suffering.
On 17 February 2015, the band's fourth album, This Is No Fairytale was available for streaming on Metal Hammer.[5] The album was officially released on 23 February 2015. The album is a modern interpretation of the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale with themes of domestic abuse, drug addiction, alcoholism, sexual child abuse, suicide, child abduction and cannibalism.
On 16 June 2017, their fifth studio album, Dance and Laugh Amongst the Rotten, was released. This album diverges from the previous "storytelling" theme of the previous albums, but remains a concept album, with ghost themes, including the Blood Queen and Charles Francis Coghlan.[6]
On 10 February 2020, drummer Ivo "Namtar" Wijers left the band. According to him, the departure was motivated by "dissatisfaction with the music industry". Seregor and Ardek posted the announcement on the band's official website, revealing that the exit was a friendly one, saying, "Although we are very sorry for your departure, we respect your decision".
In late 2019 the band announced they had begun work on a sixth studio album, scheduled to be released in mid-2020. Its name and release date were unveiled on 20 February 2020; Franckensteina Strataemontanus. The album is a concept album inspired by the life of Johann Conrad Dippel, and was released through Season of Mist on 26 June.
Hexed Melting Flesh
Carach Angren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Restless and bright
For the moon kept shining this awkward sick light
The winds came forth as if it sounded like a little child
No hundreds!
Weeping as if they realise it's time to die
Like the infant's sorrow, as if it's raining from their fears
Then what happened no one could tell, but mark my words
It's a pretty sick trick from hell
Goodnight...
Sleep tight...
My mistress in white...
Sweet dreams of death and moonlight
In Carach Angren's "Hexed Melting Flesh," the singer describes a night that was peculiar and un-settling. The full moon, which typically gives off a serene and dreamy vibe, instead shines a sick and eerie light. Winds moan in the darkness, sounding as if someone is mourning, and the rain falls heavily, much like tears. The rain even appears to take the form of tears in a child's sorrow, bringing with it a sense of unease and foreboding. The song suggests that something terrible and supernatural is lurking in the darkness, beyond human understanding.
As the song progresses, the singer suggests that something wicked is afoot. Whether this is happening in his mind or in the physical world is left ambiguous, but something is happening that defies simple explanation. The song's final lines suggest that the singer's mistress is one with death herself, and that the dark forces that swirl around him are trying to snuff out his existence.
