About this product
2018 . The year is 1898. The Gentlemen's Club of A Forest of Stars invites you to a midnight performance of their latest maniacal masterpiece, Grave Mounds And Grave Mistakes. This exclusive brotherhood embraces the decadent, conflicting nature of their Victorian England, weaving sickly gin-tinged thoughts with bizarre, hypnotic melodies to fully express the decadence of their era. 120 years later, in the year 2018, A Forest of Stars would be nothing less than one of the UK's leading avant-garde black metal outfits. On Grave Mounds And Grave Mistakes, the septet takes William Blake's proverb of Hell InchExuberance is beautyInch as it's principle, and celebrates lushness and excess in their music, lyrics and artwork. As an exploration of a struggle against insanity, it also represents the band's desire to revisit earlier works. A more atmospheric album than it's predecessor, 2015's Beware The Sword You Cannot See, this album has nods to the previous sonic explorations on 2012's A Shadowplay For Yesterdays. We also hear the band utilizing more open space and sound textures in addition to their trademark avant-garde black metal, dipping into the raw sounds of 2010's Opportunistic Thieves of Spring. The lyrics build upon themes of loss, death and inevitability, describing scenes of decay and destruction - magniloquent, abstract, metaphoric, with an abysmal message at it's core. Like the crazed tenant swearing he hears the dead man's heart, Grave Mounds And Grave Mistakes writhes upon the floorboards, bashing it's head in and screaming, Inchlet me outInch.

A Forest of Stars are the physical manifestation of what can confidentially be called 'British Black Metal'. InchStack Overflow in Corpse Pile InterfaceInch, the grandiose sixth full-length by the band from West Yorkshire is the sonic expression of this distinct and discernible local variant of the genre. InchStack Overflow in Corpse Pile InterfaceInch sends it's tendril-like roots deep into British musical soil. In his recitative mode, vocalist Curse is even reminiscent of electro poet Anne Clark - after a steady diet of prescription drugs and rusty nails. Another sonic pillar on which InchStack Overflow in Corpse Pile InterfaceInch stands, is the violin of Katheryne aka Queen of the Ghosts. Her melodies time and time again build beautiful bridges over the dissonant churning of electric guitars as the latter gloriously luxuriate in the chaos they create. On the harsh side of their unique sound, A Forest of Stars make use of the full spectrum that both classic heavy and black metal have to offer - with deadly and progressive moments meticulously slotted into all the right places. Connoisseurs of the black arts will not fail to notice that the collective from Leeds beg to differ from traditional Norse berserkir in the wake of MAYHEM, as well as contemporary compatriots such as WINTERFYLLETH. A Forest of Stars have used their temporary hiatus well to craft a collection of excellent songs. In their quest for perfection, they even discarded an entire finished album and started again from scratch. InchStack Overflow in Corpse Pile InterfaceInch is undoubtedly pure A Forest of Stars complex, catchy, contradictory - and completely individualistic. Welcome to British Black Metal!
