Background information about 'A Shadowplay For Yesterdays'

A Forest of Stars delivers another haunting journey through Victorian gothic atmospheres with "A Shadowplay For Yesterdays", a masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of progressive black metal and theatrical storytelling. The album opens with "Directionless Resurrectionist" and immediately establishes the band's signature sound - swirling violin melodies intertwined with crushing guitar work and ethereal vocals that feel like whispers from another century. Tracks like "A Prophet For A Pound Of Flesh" and "The Underside Of Eden" demonstrate the band's ability to craft lengthy, complex compositions that never lose their emotional impact, while shorter pieces like "Man's Laughter" provide moments of unsettling beauty.

The deluxe edition includes bonus material on the second CD with tracks "Herne" and "She's In Parties", plus a DVD featuring the mesmerizing video for "Gatherer Of The Pure". The band's psychedelic black metal approach creates an otherworldly experience that transports listeners to fog-shrouded Victorian landscapes filled with mystery and melancholy. Each song feels like a chapter in a gothic novel, complete with dramatic crescendos and haunting interludes that showcase the band's theatrical sensibilities and musical sophistication.

For fans of:
Cradle of Filth, Emperor, Arcturus, and Dimmu Borgir
