A FOREST OF STARS - GRAVE MOUNDS AND GRAVE MISTAKES Vinyl LP

Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2018 release. The year is 1898.

This exclusive brotherhood embraces the decadent, conflicting nature of their Victorian England, weaving sickly gin-tinged thoughts with bizarre, hypnotic melodies to fully express the decadence of their era. 120 years later, in the year 2018, A Forest of Stars would be nothing less than one of the UK's leading avant-garde black metal outfits. On Grave Mounds And Grave Mistakes, the septet takes William Blake's proverb of Hell "Exuberance is beauty" as it's principle, and celebrates lushness and excess in their music, lyrics and artwork.
