Background information über 'Beware The Sword You Cannot See'

A Forest of Stars delivers another mind-bending journey into their signature brand of psychedelic black metal with "Beware The Sword You Cannot See". This album showcases the band's evolution from their earlier folk-tinged approach into something far more experimental and haunting. The opening track "Drawing Down The Rain" sets an ominous tone that carries throughout the record, while songs like "Hive Mindless" and "A Blaze of Hammers" demonstrate their ability to weave complex narratives through both musical composition and lyrical storytelling. The band's theatrical approach shines particularly bright on the epic multi-part suite that closes the album, taking listeners through a labyrinthine exploration of consciousness and cosmic horror.

The production quality perfectly complements the band's vision, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. Tracks like "Virtus Sola Invicta" showcase their knack for building tension through layered instrumentation and haunting vocal performances. The lengthy "Proboscis Master Versus The Powdered Seraphs" serves as a centerpiece, blending progressive elements with raw black metal fury in ways that few bands dare attempt. A Forest of Stars continues to push boundaries while maintaining their distinctive English eccentricity that sets them apart from their continental peers.

For fans of: Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega, Sigh, and Dodheimsgard
