Well these UK avantgarde black metallers' ears must have been burning yesterday when I asked about new material, because lo and behold this morning I recieved a Bandcamp notification that A Forest Of Stars have announced their latest album. Titled Grave Mounds and Grave Mistakes, the band elaborates on further details:
"the septet takes William Blake's proverb of Hell "Exuberance is beauty" as its principle, and celebrates lushness and excess in their music, lyrics and artwork. As an exploration of a struggle against insanity, it also represents the band's desire to revisit earlier works. A more atmospheric album than its predecessor, 2015's Beware The Sword You Cannot See, this album has nods to the previous sonic explorations on 2012's A Shadowplay For Yesterdays. We also hear the band utilizing more open space and sound textures in addition to their trademark Avantgarde black metal, dipping into the raw sounds of 2010's Opportunistic Thieves Of Spring."
