Farmakon is the third album of the Finnish funeral doom metal band Skepticism.

Stylistically, this album is similar to Lead and Aether and Aes, two of the band's previous releases. However, the emphasis on the drums has been scaled back, with the music more driven by the action between the drums, guitars, keyboards, and vocals rather than an individual instrument.

"The Raven and the Backward Funeral" and "Farmakon Process" are alternate versions of tracks that appeared on the band's previous EP, The Process of Farmakon.

[edit] Track listing

1. "The Raven and the Backward Funeral" – 7:39
2. "Shred of Light, Pinch of Endless" – 8:19
