British black metal act A Forest Of Stars spreads immense melancholia and undiluted darkness through the tormented soundscapes of the sixth full-length “Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface”.
Throughout “Ascension Of The Clowns” the ghastly beauty of the violin is destined to spellbind the audience yet the band fearlessly shows a strong blackened essence with a merciless rhythmic assault.
On the complex track “Mechanically Separated Logic” enigmatic dissonance and compelling harmonious textures suddenly become entwined resulting in an eclectic rhythmic ensemble inspired by black metal tradition unfolding around a truly theatrical vocal performance.
Everything slows down on “Sway, Draped in Vague” favoring the bleak tonalities of the intricate melodic guitar progressions complemented by delicate female vocals in contrast with the dramatically darker & heavier rhythmic crescendos.
The majestic finale “Not Drinking Water” focuses on the towering role of convoluted haunting melodic themes emphasized by the graceful violin but the bold rhythmic section can still channel fury and despair disregarding any standard music categorization.
Within the gloomy grandeur of “Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface” A Forest Of Stars have the opportunity to fully showcase their own variant of black metal deeply rooted into British musical soil combining classical elegance and sheer heaviness.
