Background information über 'A Shadowplay For Yesterdays'

A Forest of Stars delivers a haunting journey through Victorian-tinged black metal landscapes on "A Shadowplay For Yesterdays". This atmospheric masterpiece weaves together elements of progressive black metal with theatrical storytelling, creating an experience that feels both ancient and timelessly dark. Tracks like "A Prophet For A Pound Of Flesh" and "The Underside Of Eden" showcase the band's ability to craft lengthy compositions that ebb and flow between moments of crushing intensity and eerie, almost chamber music-like interludes. The album's concept explores themes of religious decay and human frailty through a distinctly British lens, with each song serving as a chapter in a larger gothic narrative.

The production captures the band's unique approach to black metal, allowing space for the intricate layering of instruments while maintaining the raw edge that defines the genre. Songs like "Gatherer Of The Pure" and the two-part "Corvus Corona" demonstrate A Forest of Stars' mastery of dynamics, building from whispered passages to explosive climaxes. The bonus track "Dead Love" adds another layer to this already rich tapestry, making this limited digipak edition essential for collectors and newcomers alike.

For fans of:
Cradle of Filth, Emperor, and Anaal Nathrakh
