A Forest Of Stars

A Forest of Stars is a unique collective hailing from the United Kingdom, widely recognized for their distinctive blend of black metal and psychedelic elements. Formed in 2007, this unconventional band stands apart in the metal scene for their incorporation of Victorian-era aesthetics and themes, which is reflected in both their lyrical content and their visual presentation. Their music is characterized by an otherworldly melding of intense guitar work, haunting melodies, and an array of instruments not typically associated with black metal, such as the violin and flute, resulting in a rich, atmospheric sound.

The group's discography is an evolving tapestry of narrative and sound, with each release building upon the last in both complexity and concept. "The Corpse of Rebirth," their debut album released in 2008, set the stage for their experimental approach, which has been continuously refined in subsequent albums. "Opportunistic Thieves of Spring" (2010) saw them delving deeper into the realms of avant-garde, while "A Shadowplay for Yesterdays" (2012) and "Beware the Sword You Cannot See" (2015) have solidified their reputation for storytelling prowess, weaving intricate conceptual tales. Their latest full-length, "Grave Mounds and Grave Mistakes" (2018), remains faithful to their signature blend of Victorian occultism and sonic intensity, confirming A Forest of Stars as a band that consistently transcends the traditional boundaries of their genre.
