The band's ideology is quite different from many black metal bands. In interviews they've expressed respect for left-wing politics, radical environmentalism and ecofeminism.- Quote Metal-Archives.com ("Wolves in the Throne Room")

A reclusive American dark ambient/black metal band. They released two demos titled Rain and The Hunt in 2007, each composed of a single song of over an hour in length. Rain was released on Aurora Borealis in 2008; a release of The Hunt followed in late 2009 with live drums replacing the drum machine of the original. Three additional suites have been conceived but have yet to be recorded officially, although a live recording of the third suite, Avifauna, has surfaced on the Internet under the title “Feathainne”. Band members also appear in Echtra, Threnos, Fearthainne, and Alethes.
FAUNA- quote from here.
'Rain' CD
Absolutley amazing self released CD from the ultra obscure FAUNA. Based in the temperate rainforest region of the Pacific Northwest, FAUNA are a strongly eco-centric band working in the black metal genre. 'Rain' consists of one epic track lasting over an hour. Beginning with a field recording of rain in a forest, the piece thereafter becomes an acoustic journey, sung vocals complete this section before a raw black metal surge of power and pummel. Really impressed by these guys. Its very honest, very organic, in some ways this has a hardcore vibe, like early Neurosis or something, though its more the spirit than anything. Its certainly not like any of the more commercial strands of black metal, but neither is it teenage faux satanic basement necro. The packaging is silkscreened black on black paper and the whole package is very organic feeling. Total recommendation here

FAUNA
'The Hunt' CD
Absolutley amazing self released CD from the ultra obscure FAUNA. Based in the temperate rainforest region of the Pacific Northwest, FAUNA are a strongly eco-centric band working in the black metal genre. Described as 'A Mythic Journey in Seven Parts', this is the band's second CD of earth oriented forest metal. The story is of the hunger that leads to the quest to kill for food, the tracking, the stalking and the reverence for the prey. Excellent stuff, perhaps harsher overall then 'Rain', though still with incredible dynamic power as the story unfolds. The packaging is silkscreened black on black paper and the whole package is very organic feeling. Once again, highest recommendation here.
The re-released version is sequenced as seven tracks with the following titles- quote Metal-Archives.com ("Fauna - The Hunt") | |||||||

Peregrine is an anarcho-primitivist/savagist death metal band based out of southwestern PA. It was started at the end of 2006 by KT in Athens, GA as a release for overt anger against the world that domestication and civilization have created. Fueled by a love of wildness and solidarity with the lives of those directly confronted by the cannibalistic cycles of necessary growth of civilization. The purpose has been simple; spreading the directed hatred of civilization as a critique rather than a collection of misanthropic notions and undermining the domesticating process that is constantly reinforced in our lives.
The music is the result of a sense of urgency and rage combined through the most appropriate forms: blackened death metal infused with elements of hardcore and crust.
As of November 2008, KT moved back up to Pennsylvania and has re-established the band there with Jordan Villella on drums (Mammoth Bath, ex-Zimmerman's Note, ex-Circle of Dead Children), Jared Ondovchik (ex-Auryn) and Steve Kirk on guitar. The change up has brought in vigorous new blood and an entirely anarchist line up.
We hate writing bios, hate civilization, love wildness, and stip the fuck out of whatever we can.
The word 'Peregrine' means wanderer, which, given our history/future as nomadic gatherer-hunter bands, is fitting enough. Bu the name comes after the Peregrine falcon. The fastest bird in the world, swooping at speeds over 200 miles per hour, is also one of the most widespread birds in the world. It inhabits every continent except Antarctica. And it was almost completely wiped out by DDT. Powerful. Amazing. Resilient. WILD.
Peregrine's frontman, Kevin Tucker, is an anarcho-primitivist writer and speaker. He is the editor of the magazine, Species Traitor, and together with John Zerzan he has engaged on multiple speaking tours about civilization and primitivism.- From Metal-Archives.com ("Peregrine")

Against His-Story, Against Leviathan! is a 1983 book by Fredy Perlman, for which he is best known. It is a personal critical perspective on contemporary civilization and society. The work defined anarcho-primitivism for the first time, and was a major source of inspiration for anti-civilization perspectives in contemporary anarchism, most notably on the thought of philosopher John Zerzan.
The packaging is a 12-page zine
detailing the band's anarcho-primitivist sentiments, with the booklet
essentially serving as a primer.

Petrichor (pronounced /ˈpɛtrɨkər/; from Greek petros "stone" + ichor the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology) is the name of the scent of rain on dry earth.
The term was coined in 1964 by two Australian researchers, Bear and Thomas, for an article in the journal Nature. In the article, the authors describe how the smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods, whereupon it is absorbed by clay-based soils and rocks. During rain, the oil is released into the air along with another compound, geosmin, producing the distinctive scent. In a follow-up paper, Bear and Thomas (1965) showed that the oil retards seed germination and early plant growth.
"The diverse nature of the host materials has led us to propose the name 'petrichor' for this apparently unique odor which can be regarded as an 'ichor' or 'tenuous essence' derived from rock or stone (hence the petr...)."
