A Forest Of Stars - Stack Overflow In Corpse Pile Interface - 2CD BOX

A FOREST OF STARS are the physical manifestation of what can confidentially be called 'English Black Metal'. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface", the grandiose sixth full-2CD box (textured card) incl. 3-track bonus CD "Ticket to Writhe" (playtime 28+ minutes), nine full colour printed art cards in tissue wrap, seven individual band photo cards in wallet, and greeting note (with hand-embossed seal, individually numbered) in exuberant packaging (inner sleeve with silver logo, cloth wrap bound with cord) hand-made and hand-assembled by A Forest Of Stars (400 copies available).

length by the band from West Yorkshire is the sonic expression of this distinct and discernible local variant of the genre. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" sends its 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 "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" 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. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" is undoubtedly pure A FOREST OF STARS: complex, catchy, contradictory – and completely individualistic. Welcome to True English Black Metal!
