A Forest of Stars

Although they are ostensibly referred to as a black metallic band, England’s A Forest of Stars borrow liberally from foreign sonic invaders such as for example folk music elements, avant-garde atmospherics, and psychedelic art rock and roll to formulate their rather unique personal style. Released in 2007 from the colorfully called Mister Curse (vocals), Katheryne, Queen from the Spirits (aka Kati Rock of My Dying Bride-to-be — violin, flute, vocals), the Gentleman (synths, pianoforte, drums), and Mr. T.S. Kettleburner (acoustic guitar, bass, vocals), A Forest of Celebrities made their saving debut with 2008’s limited-edition (simply 1,000 preliminary copies) The Corpse of Rebirth recording, later on reissued in bigger quantities from the Transcendental Masterpieces label.
