Formed in 2016, Cistvaen are an atmospheric black metal band from Devon and the South West of England, UK.
"Truly lovely post-black atmospheric instrumental passages paired with tortured, raspy, unclean black metal vocals. This combination perfectly captures the mix of emotions one might feel walking through an ancient forest at the dying of the day: soaring wonder and melancholy isolation, vitriolic outrage against the forces that sever us from our better selves in nature, and finally peaceful contemplation of our common end in rot and rebirth."
