Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface - Violet 2-LP

Violet 2-LP in gatefold cover. Limited to 300 copies.

A Forest of Stars are the physical manifestation of what can confidently be called 'British black metal'. Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface, the band's grandiose sixth full-length album, is the sonic expression of this distinct local variant of the genre. Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface sends its tendril-like roots deep into British musical soil. In recitative mode, vocalist Curse even evokes 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, also known as Queen of the Ghosts. Her melodies repeatedly build beautiful bridges over the dissonant churning of electric guitars, which luxuriate gloriously in the chaos they create. A FOREST OF STARS exploit the full spectrum of classic heavy and black metal on the harsh side of their unique sound, meticulously slotting deadly and progressive moments into all the right places. Connoisseurs of the black arts will notice that the Leeds collective differ from traditional Norse berserkir, as well as contemporary compatriots such as WINTERFYLLETH, in their approach. A FOREST OF STARS have used their temporary hiatus well, crafting an excellent collection of songs. In their quest for perfection, they even discarded a 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 individual. Welcome to British black metal!
