Dystopia
EP
Melodic Death Metal
From Emden, East Frisia - fusing old school and modern influences.
The Ferryman's Tale
After drummer Markus “Farmi” Fährmann passed away in March 2023, Malte Schepker, Christian Ihnken and Stefan Koenen laid their former band Blixxem to rest and founded Charon's Decay in his honor.
Their sound fuses old-school and modern melodic death metal, forged in the spirit of the Gothenburg and Stockholm scenes: razor harmonies, relentless riffs and melancholy that bites.
