Carach Angren

The band sets itself apart from other symphonic black metal artists with the usage of multiple languages such as English, French, German, and Dutch.

The name "Carach Angren" is derived from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and means "Iron Jaws" in the Elvish language of Sindarin.

In the Tolkien universe, "Carach Angren", also called "Isenmouthe" (both meaning the same) is the name of a fortified pass into the plateau of Gorgoroth in North-Western Mordor.

[1] 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.

Carach Angren recorded their first full-length album for this label, Lammendam, which received positive international reviews following its release in 2008.

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".
